Q: Is Birth Control An Ok Thing?

I have asked my mom numberous times if I could get on birth control. And each time it has always came out no no no. And usually I respect her decision. But recently my boyfriend and I have been talking about having sex but not acutally doing it. I dont really want to get pregnant but my boyfriend somewhat does. But as well as if we do become sexuall active and I turn out not to really be ready I dotn want to end up pregnant anyway. Any ideas on how to apporach my mom on this? I'm only 16!
Thanks for the advice in advance

You do not need your mom for birth control, you can get it without her consent, and for free possibly.

Planned parenthood usually offers teens low cost and free services, so does your local county 'health department'.

Parents will often not want to think about their daughters having sex, but it is going to happen.

Your b/f may want baby, but prenatal care and having a baby is upwards of 10-20,000$. I doubt at 16-18 he has that kind of money.

You may need to just get on bc by yourself.

Condoms break...

I had an abortion, but not everyone wants to have one, so they need to be more careful than you have been.

Pills are more effective than condoms.

Birth control pills are effective method, I agree with carifairy. The pills provide contraceptive protection, exceeding 99%, when used properly.

Condoms are good option. In case of a condom break you still have an opportunity to prevent pregnancy with emergency contraceptive pills (like plan b).
