Would you?

Question

My boyfriend and I are having a debate. If you had a teenage daughter (15-17) who asked you for birth control, would you say yes? I would say yes. If my daughter trusted me enough to talk to me about things like that I would hear what she had to say about and consider it, and I'd be happy she was trying to be responsible and not just going out and having unprotected sex. He, on the other hand, says she would be too young and would never consider it. Thoughts?

Answer

If my daughter expressed to me she wanted birth control odds are she's having sex. I want her to be safe rather than sorry even though I hope and pray my kids wait till they are married, unlike myself ... I would rather them be protected!

Answer

I have a 16 yr old son and I always make sure he has a condom with him and my daughter is 8, I will also make sure when she's older that she's protected in every which way possible.

Answer

Me an my husband have had this talk even tho we are pregnant with our first an it's a boy. I was on bc at age 14, so I won't be a hypocrite to my future daughter but I would talk to her about everything an condoms as well. With our son when he gets to the age that he wants to have sex I hope he will talk to us an we will stress waiting an/or using condoms. I just want my kids well educated an not making any mistakes so young. However I don't expect them to be virgins forever because clearly that doesn't happen. All I can do is hope they choose the right path with the right information

Answer

Yes but I'd make sure she understood any guy she's with still has to wear condoms. For someone that young it isn't one or the other it's both.

Answer

Having been there a few years ago, I know how hard it is to ask that of parents. If your daughter is being honest with you about her habits I see no reason why not. Also, it is better for her to be safe! Dads never wanna admit/think their little girls are becoming women. But they are sure to be far more upset by a pregnant 15 year old. 
Also, I started birth control at 15, am. Half of the reason was because of irregularity and bad skin problems.

Answer

I would say yes. It would be better than having her out having sex and getting pregnant at a young age and it's good for periods!

Answer

Just because you say no to birth control isn't going to make her not have sex if she wants to, better to just say yes so you know she is being safe about it.

Answer

If she's asking for it because she's sexually active {rather than for period reasons}, she's gunna have sex wether you get it for her or not. I would much rather her be "safe" about it and feel like she can come to me for anything.

Answer

I've been on birth control since I was 13 because I had periods so bad I sweated and puked for 6 days a month. I couldn't do anything and I was sleeping on the floor for those 6 days. I didn't lose my virginity till I was 17. Birth control, for some girls, doesn't mean they're having sex. I want my future kids to trust me enough to talk to me. I don't want to make any conversations taboo. I don't want the first time I talk about sex with me kids to be the "I'm pregnant"/"i got a girl pregnant" conversation... I want my children to learn from their father and i, not from their friends at school who may give incorrect information.

Answer

Yes, but def let her know that it's not 100% failsafe...my mom was on birth control when she got pregnant with me.

Tell him it not only is there for sex, but it's also a helper for AF. Supposed to help keep it consistant, less severe and a normal length.
