What is the best birthcontrol for me since I am 15 1/2 years old?

I’d agree with you, but if she is going to do this she needs something. There is always the pill, and even if you’re on the pill it’d be a good idea to for the guy to wear a condom.

Not wanting to sound like a party kicker, but she is only 15…..Encourage them to purchase condoms or get on the pills is really encouraging underage sex…..Ok, back to my knitting :P

lol (to the knitting), I know… and I really would advise abstinence… it really is a big decision and should be thought out and best to be saved when your body and mind is ready. She is thinking about it though and asking for advice, if she takes the abstinence advise that is great but if not at least she has advice for when it does happen.

If you do decide to have sex( which is totally your choice) then I would advise the pill. But be careful because if not taken properly there are very high risks of falling pregnant. You can also get the implant which goes in your arm. This is effective for 2-3 years ( not quite sure). It’s the same chemicals that are in the pill only it’s in a chip in your arm. I would go see your doctor about this anyway.

Be safe always:)

Oh I agree with you. Maybe I’m being a pompous ar-se but why have sex when you cannot even get a full time job at 15, let alone move out of home without your parent’s consent…. If they want to be adults, thenthey should have the means before they open their legs and have fun….It’s rather unfair on the unborn child who cannot select their parents. :P….OK back to knitting Sketcher a warm woolly cardigan :)

But because she isn’t old enough/ready to move doesn’t mean she can’t be ready for sex. I had sex when I was 15 to my boyfriend of 3 years and I don’t think I was too young/not ready. I also had a job when I was 15. I was also on the pill and have never to this day fell pregnant. I agree with you that some people are too young/not ready but i think it depends on the individual. I was just say that you really have to think about this because it is a big decision. Just be careful!

Oh noone is disputing one cannot have sex at 15…It’s the consequences of having sex and oops, one is ‘preggie’ ….Look at the full picture here…It’s all and great if a 15 years old have sex and nothing bad happens, all the more to have more sex….But if one was to have sex, whether they are on the pills, whether they using condoms, there is always the chance one can fall ‘preggie’’, how then will a 15 years old support an unborn child apart from mummy and daddy being the carer, having an abor–tion….It’s all nice and sweet to think ‘she’s be right, it’s only sex, she’s using protection’, it’s careless.

True. But at 16 she will face the same problems and I assume that not much will change in half a year. But I suppose for the sake of things, maybe you should wait till you are 16 then discuss birth control with your parents and doctor.

Hey Samantha, thanks for the warm woolly cardigan! This is quite a discussion! The most I can say is I’m proud of her for thinking about birth control instead of being reckless. There are a lot of teen pregnancies out there that could have been avoided with the simple decision of birth control.

LOL…this is going to carry on all night :P I agree 15, 16 isn’t going to change things…But, in a perfect world it would be awesome people found a job first, saved some money, find a cool bf or partner then shag til their eye socket drops :) Then if you fall ‘preggie’ no biggie as you got the finances to raise the baby…If I was a foetus, I would want my parents to be working and have money to take care of me. :)

Ah yes, that totally would be the perfect world… if there was such a place!! I sure wish there was, it would be so much nicer/easier!!

Haha, I’ll be there too and it will be summer 365 days, no winter….We all get to swim and sunbake all day long, have hot guys wait on us on hands and foot :P ahhhh paradise

awww, if that was the case I wouldn’t be able to wear the nice warm woolly cardigan you made me!! :P

Hehe so true, so true :P ….Ok, I’ll knit some holey socks :)

lol, thanks!

I believe the best thing to do is wait a few days after your period. This way there isn’t an egg to fertilize (but you may still get pregnant). For precaution you should be on the pill AND use a condom. This is the second best protection. Abstinence is the best.

actually, it’s 100% effective :)

no.. u ever heard of 2nd hand PREGNANCY?

LOL, I was thinking of Mother Mary, she got away with being “preggie” so the 1% isn’t very effective….Was being a smarty pant when I typed the first comment.

ask your doctor or goto a helth clinic. though still use protection

Given that time and lots of evidence has proven that abstinence only education is pointless, a waste of time, and in my opinion harmful (mostly because it does end up with kids who have higher rates of STDs), i’ll skip the whole you’re too young portion of this. Combination of a hormonal form (pill, patch, shot, whatever) and a condom is probably best.

I agree.If you wait,you have more self-estem,confidence,and respect for your self and others too.=)

The pill

im 13 and i take the depo shot you get it every 3 months and it works good and you dont get you period well every once and awhile but that is it well hope i helped=)
