well i have a gyno appointment next week and i'm kind of scared because i've never been there before. my mom doesn't know that my boyfriend and I have sex, but she made a comment about going on birth control if i think me and drew are going to have sex. i think i should but yet i dont know what to do because she will automatically know that me and drew have sex or that we are thinking about it. my mom says to tell her if me and drew were ever to do it but im afraid. should i go on the pill ? what do you think ?

If I were you, and you're not comfortable with telling your mom you've BEEN having sex, tell her you're thinking about it, and go on the pill to be safe. That's what I did, because I didn't want to admit to my mother that I'd been lying about not having sex. If you're comfortable telling her you've been, then go for it.
Your mother sounds pretty cool about the whole situation. Know, though, that she probably won't be happy with the fact that you are/going to have sex. No parent would be - however, she does seem to know that teenagers are teenagers and that they'll do what they please, no matter what a parent says. She just wants you to be safe about it. I would, too, quite honestly. She's opened the door for you to talk to her about so much - so many parents don't do that, and their kids are afraid to talk to them. She's a person, too! Chances are, she's gone through similar things, and now she wants to help you deal with the things she went through. Take advantage of that fact. I did, and my relationship with my mom is great.
I would go on the pill, if I were you. Just know that it takes a month to go into full effect.
I hope this helps!

FernGully answered Thursday November 4 2004, 10:55 pm: Your mom already knows what every parent should - that reality is reality, and no matter what your kids do, they are still your kids. She doesn't support you having sex, but she would rather she be aware so that she can ensure that you are safe, I don't think she will be angry.
It is normal to be afraid to tell her, but she has asked for you to be honest, and try and switch places with her - wouldn't it put your mind at ease to know about your daughters life, then to wonder if she is going to be safe or not? Talk to your mom, go on the pill if the doctor agrees and be safe about it. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
AmericnJewl answered Thursday November 4 2004, 10:10 pm: Your mom has opened a door for you. Walk through it. Don't be scared. She wants you to feel comfortable talking to her about these kinds of things, otherwise she wouldn't have come to you about this and suggested that you think about BC. Your mom sounds like a smart lady and a good mother, I'd take advantage of it. Don't be afraid! [ AmericnJewl's advice column | Ask AmericnJewl A Question ]
lorelei answered Thursday November 4 2004, 10:05 pm: If your mom is telling you these things, then she probably already suspects that you are at least thinking about sex. She will understand if you decide to go on birth control. In fact, she'll probably be happy you chose to protect yourself. If she ends up asking, just be honest.
