how do I convince my parents to get me birth control pills?

theres plenty of ways to get rid of the cramps while on your period.. most include accupressure. if you would like to know some talk to me =]

I think if you are not having sex then you don’t need it. the birth control is bad in so many ways. it has some complications. they have side effects that you don’t want to get. so if you don’t need it don’t take it! use midol or what works best for me is advil and ahot bath. it relaxes you.

I strongly recommend Aleve. My cramps get so bad I’m in the fetal position crying. But I found that I take 3 Aleve and my cramps are gone the entire day. But I also take it like 10 mins after I wake up, before they arrive. Because it’s hard to get the pain to go away so fast when its already there. You know what I mean?

Umm butterflykizz3z the pill doesn’t give everyone side effects. Depends on you as a person and what you are using. I am using the pill to help my cramps. Which used to be so bad that I had to skip school or university and even painkillers didn’t work. I also haven’t had a single side effect.

I suggest that next time it is your period. Ask you mother if she can take you to the doctor so that you can get some proper medicine for your period cramps. Then you can tell the doctor that you would prefer the pill. Parents are more inclined to listen to other people telling them something than their children.
