I'm 16 and I'm sexually active. Just sit down with your mom or someone that you are close with that is a adult and tell them about your feelings and get on birth control and get condoms. But if they aren't okay with that then just wait until your adult and if your boyfriend don't understand then he's not right for you. But safe sex is the best sex!!!!☺️
Condoms
I'm 15, 16 in 7 months. I've been with my boyfriend for about 13/14 months now, and we've done things but never as far as sex. I think I'm ready so I want to buy condoms just to be safe, but I don't want my parents to find out as they will flip. And I don't even know if I'm old enough to buy them. Help please?

You're old enough to purchase condoms. I don't know if this is going to sound like bad advice but no parent I've heard of has ever rejoiced when they find out their daughter is having sex, but if you're worried about them being violent or aggressive toward you, I say just keep the condoms at your boyfriends house. There's this negative connotation around women having sex that men just don't have. His parents won't be nearly as upset as yours so I say take advantage of female oppression and be the gatekeeper of your own sexuality. Be safe and just make sure you're having sex because you want to and not because your boyfriend wants you to. Your body is a temple and you are the god it was built for.

Make your boyfriend buy the condoms that's the guys job not yours

It is definitely not the guys job to buy condoms.

Yeah his responsibility til he conveniently doesn't have em. The purpose of you buying them is so when he says he doesn't have one, you do.

it doesn't have to be the guys job a girl can always buy them. I did. haven't used them and don't plan on using them for a while, but still I bought them and I'll buy them if I want to I don't expect my boyfriend to get them
Can't talk to your parents about you shouldn't be having sex. If you're going to do adult things than you should be an adult, be responsible & tell your parents.

Well only she knows her parents if they're not abusive nor "bad" parents then she should be ok. I mean yeah they might cry or yell & get upset but I mean hey at least she went to them and told them. Parents are supose to be upset when they hear their child is having sex

It' but everyone is different

My parents are awkward when it comes to things like that, probably because I'm their youngest child like even if I was 16 they'd still be awkward, I just don't want to be causing anymore problems with our family rn, like you may say that if I want to do 'adult things, then I should be an adult about
There is no age limit or restrictions on condoms as far as if you are ready talk to your boyfriend and remember you can always say no if you start to feel uncomfortable. I would suggest at least trying to talk to your parents about birth control because condoms aren't always 100% effective and they can leak or break. Just remember to stay safe and make sure that if you decide to you both are comfortable doing so.
You aren't too young to be having sex. You can get condoms from multiple places like the store, planned parenthood and more. Not wanting to tell your parents is cool cause who wants to tell their parents that they plan on having sex? (NO ONE). When it's right do it

She's 15 not the best advice to give her she's young and who's knows about her bf he might b like every others dead beat then what
You are pretty young, so just make sure you're doing it for you and that you aren't feeling pressured. And remember that having sex isn't going to save a relationship, and you might not be with this person forever. But anyway if you can't talk to your parents about it, then you're definitely not mature enough. Wait till you're in your own place or just be brave.It really might not be as bad as you think to talk with them about getting condoms. Maybe you'd be able to get birth control too.

But based on her other comment if say she's concerned about the situation becoming awkward versus it becoming abusive

Sorry, my comment was pretty narrow minded. It's just that a lot of times I'm afraid to tell my parents something that turns out to not be as big a deal as I was worried it would be. I understand where you're coming from. In general parents will find out whether you tell them or not.
