well atleast your using condoms now

but remember no method of birth control is 100%
iys even better to use two kinds of birtj control *condoms the pill,patch etc)

just be careful ok? because its not easy dissapointing your mom and listening to her cry because her 16 yr old kid is haveing a kid

yeah i know
thats the thing im most scared of
are you going to go to college when u graduate high school

im not in high school

o
but didnt u say ur being homeschooled? isnt that the same thing

look at it this way..
would your mom be more disappointed in you
being responsible and getting put on birth control
or getting pregnant b/c you were too scared to
get on birth control?...

your parents don't even have to know..
or you could just tell her you want to regulate
your periods....

Won't your mom find out about the blood test you just took?

Planned Parenthood is a clinic that will NOT tell your mom. You can get birth control for FREE. Plus a yearly pap smear (which you need if you are sexually active anyway) and a general well-woman check up.

um they wil not tell my mom how wud they? i did it like anonymously basically
and not all women go to gynocologist just cuz they r having sex...
nd my mom doesnt know im having sex and i want to keep it that way
and if i tell her i want birth control she will know right away
so its not an option

So, if you can get a blood test without anyone knowing, then why would anyone have to know if you got birth control? I'm saying you're the one who wasn't making sense

Planned Parenthood is completely anonymous. Your records with them are accessible ONLY by you and no one else. You just need to make sure to tell them this so that they don't send letters to your house with test results or things like that, with "From Planned Parenthood" plastered all over the envelope lol.

yes i am homeschooled

if you arent reponsible to tell your parenst your haveing sex then you shouldt be haveing sex
have you been to a gyno for a pap yet?

y wud i tell my parents that im having sex?
never heard of any teenager who tells their parents about their sex life

a lot of teenagers make the mistake of NOT telling their parents
that they are having sex...
i didn't tell my mom until 2 yrs. after i started having sex
and that was a mistake
those 2 yrs. i took the chance of getting pregnant..

i look at it this way
would you rather tell your mom you're having sex and would
like to be responsible and get on birth control so you don't bring
another life into this world that you are not ready to raise..

or wait...
stay sexually active
without birth control and without telling your parents
and then having to tell them that you are pregnant
and putting the burden on them of how they are going
to help you raise a child at a young age???


ETA= like the other posters said.. if you are sexually active you NEED to get a pap smear... to make sure you don't have any thing wrong in there...

well i told my mom when i started haveing sex

because guess what? you could have an std
you need a pap test done yearly and you need to be seen by a gyno
and you need birth control...even if you are using condoms there are girls on here who have gotten preg from using a condom

dont take the chance

sex is more serious then just pregnancy
you could get a disease and it could make you really sick or even kill you

um im not gonna go up to my mom and be like guess wat mom? im having sex?
i think its my sex life and she does not need to be part of it
im sorry but thats the stupidest thing ive heard
first of all she would kill and not get me birth control and secondly she does not need to know anything about it.period.
millions of teens are having sex with condoms and most of them dont get pregnant
the only way to get pregnant from sex with a condom if it breaks and if ur bf is a completely fool and cums in u
telling my mom about me having sex is not for me , if u told ur mom about it then thats great good for u

Well, my mom told ME I was having sex. HAHA. I was. But how did she know? She drove me to planned parenthood and dropped me off, she said, "You have an appointment for birth control pills, I'll be across the road having coffee."

Can you tell she didn't really want grandbabies?

lol ahah thats funny
my mom is asking me if i am having sex but i say no
i dont think she needs to be part of my sex life

Just because she knows, doesn't mean she is 'part' of your sex life. I mean, she obviously has the idea that you are. Besides, you know she has sex and that isn't stopping her.

Be healthy. Be proactive. Whatever you do, take care of yourself.

um she's been asumming im having sex for past 3 years and i wasnt
nd i think if she knows she is part of it
so its just not for me

I am not one that thinks you have to tell her. But I know when my mom and I had an understanding about *my* sex life, things were a lot easier between us.

You can still go to planned parenthood and discuss your birth control options. Planned parenthood would be free for you and they never discuss anything with parents. Nor does going to planned parenthood mean you would be on the pill. They also have condoms! And you need a pap smear now that you are sexually active anyway.

Good luck!

Because they love you and care about you, that's why. I told my parents I was having sex. I wasn't a teen, but still. It's important to do!

Why do you think parents get upset when they learn a teen is having sex? Because more often than not... you're too young to be having sex. I'm not saying you are, I'm just saying that's how most parents feel.

However if you present it to them in a mature fashion and show how responsible you want to be about this with getting on birth control, then they will respect you back.

My mom knows I have sex and she sure as heck isn't part of my sex life!!
