How to talk to my mom about birth control?

how do you talk to your mom about getting on birth control??... I've never had sex and don't plan on it till I'm 18 (I'm only 16 now)... but I want to be on it just in case...me and my boyfriend have been pretty close to having sex but we stopped before...

we did it.. which is good... but just incase next time we dont stop I want to be more protected.. I know use a condom and all but that isn't enough to keep me from being worried forever.. I want to be on birthcontrol.. but im scared of how my mom will react to me asking for it.. im scared she might try to make me break up with my boyfriend which I NEVER plan on doing.. but im scared she'll over react... soo.. how do you ask / talk to your mom about it? have any of y'all ever asked your parents for it? how did they react?

Just tell your mom you would like to go on birth control and tell her that you want to because it will shorten your periods and have an eaiser time dealing with them if she dont think you need to go on it go to a plan parent hood or a clinect near you that will prescribe you birth control confadintually and they can not tell your parents. its eaiser and afordable you could always have a friend or your boyfriend go and get them for you.

tell her you don't want to get your period or at least shorten them and ask her if you can be on the pill. if she asks if you're doing anything with you're boyfriend tell her no because your not having sex ;P good luck!

tell her it's for periods or be completely straight with her and tell her you just want to be protected just in case.

You could tell her it's for cramps. But Savanna's clinic idea ssounded pretty good.

do y'all know about how much they cost at the clinic.. I dont have much money and I cant get a job becasue I'm under to much stress at school and if I got a job right now my grades would suffer a lot

I was lucky enough to have a mother who was totally upfront with me about sex and birth control, unfortunately I wasn't able to take it. It made me horribly sick. But, here's some advice from someone who is a mother now. I'm 37 with 2 boys. Tell your mom, flat out, why you want it. But, tell her that you also haven't had sex yet either. Yes, it can be for your periods too, but you should tell her that your main concern is NOT getting pregnant IF you decide to have sex. Tell her that being on the pill will NOT make you feel safer about having sex and make you want to do it sooner, you could have done it with a condom already. So, it's not going to push things along with your boyfriend. Also, tell her he's not the one pressuring you into getting it. (If that's the truth. If he is the reason for asking...just flat out don't do it. Use a condom. Don't put yourself in that position so that he's off the hook. He should hold responsibility too, and wearing a condom isn't bad. Protect yourself first!!!) If you make her see that you're responsible enough to trust her with your personal issues, she'll always trust you too. It's very important, because if something does happen and you end up pregnant or with an STD, your mother will be the one there for you...NOT your boyfriend. No matter what you think, everything changes with a guy when a baby comes along. Just show her how responsible and concerned you are about yourself and she'll be there for you. Trust her, you never know what might happen. You guys could become closer than you ever imagined. Good luck, and make a smart decision, it will affect the rest of your life.
