Birth control? Im a 14 yr old girl and I want to go on birth control. No its not because I want to have sex. But to help out with my periods and a little acne. How did you ask your mom for them and what was her reaction?

I think you should wait two or three years.
But I guess just drop little hints how painful your periods are and stuff. You can mention how much it hurts and ask her about anything that will help.
I can’t really help you because I’ve never asked my parents for birth control. Sorry. But just be aware that it has side effects. Please do your research.
I never had to ask. I was 15 and all my friends have been mostly guys ever since I was little. My mom thought I was sexually active and I wasnt but she made me get on the shot. Which was crap because it made me gain 40 lbs. But she told me no wasnt an option. But I would flat out tell your mom look I want to get my periods under control and more regulated can you please have me on birth control. Also state that your not wanting it to go out and have sex. Even if you did, I know I would be greatful that my daughter came to me for birth control before choosing her own methods and then ending up pregnant. I would feel important. Good Luck and just be honest with your mom. She should be ok with it.
Maybe let her read this question?
Are your periods unusually painful? If so, just start out by mentioning how debilitating they are, then bring up the option of birth control.
I find a great way to ask anyone for anything is to first ask for their opinion. For example, instead of using phrases like “Can I..” or “I want…” try “How would you feel about…” or “I’d like to know what you think about…”.
However, if your periods really aren’t too bad and you don’t need a controceptive, I do not recommend birth control. When I stopped taking my BC (which everyone has to do sometime) I had my period for over a month straight! SO NOT WORTH IT!!!
Mum can we talk (sits down starts to talk) I just really want to ask you this you see my periods are very heavy (or what ever is wrong with them) and i was woundring would the pill help to control them?? cause i was reading it some where b4 but i wasnt quite sure do you think it could help mum as i really need to sort ma periods out!
so she will probley understand where ur coming from
xxx
Dont forget mums where ur age once upon a time ago lol
Hope this helps
goodluck
I asked my mom for that same reason.. She didn’t get mad or anything she just said no. If your parents say no you could always go to a planned parenthood, or a local clinic. They can usually help you out with that kind of thing. But if they do say no make sure you ask them why. It might not be because they don’t believe you or anything. BC can have negative effects. just make sure you do your research before you start taking anything.
I actually didn’t ask. Mine got so bad one summer to where I bled for 19 days. I was never regular and was very anemic. My dad took me to a doctor and she recommend them.
Adjusting to them is no walk in the park. You may feel nausea, vomit, headaches, and risk getting UTI.
Just tell her I am sure she will understand.
Well, i never really asked for it…my parents found out i was sexually active so my mom just got the pill and placed it on my drawer and she was kinda mad, so she had a talk with me and my brothers about using protection and all that =/
Tell your mom the truth about why you want it.
Also, I never had to ask because our Planned Parenthood gives it free when you go to the clinic and ask for it.
I would just mention, how irregular or painful your periods are, then maybe get her to suggest a few ideas of things that could help, and if she brings birth control up, you can talk about it
hope this helps
plan A: Mom, I need bith control for my periods and acnes.
if it fails:
plan B: Mom, If you don’t give me birth control, you’ll soon have a grandson!
You don’t have to ask. There’s some sort of Pharmacy (forget the name) that will prescribe it to you without telling your parents.
Mention that it’s for periods and not sex.
That should make it easier.
