"the pill"
okay, my mom found out that i was sexually active with my bf (i was 14, he was 15) and she put me on birth control. well, i am still with the same bf; he even lives in my house, but our sex life is almost non-exsistant. i want to get off of the pill. all it has done for me is made me gain weight. my bf pretends that i am still 110 lbs but trust me, i know he has noticed the weight gain. we dont have sex anymore, and in the four years we've been dating we have used a condom every single time--why wont my mother let me get off of the pill? is there some threat that she is afraid to tell me--or is it just a mother thing?

Your mother is probably just terrified you'll get pregnant, which is still possible even if you're using a condom. If you want to get off the pill, talk to your doctor. I don't mean tell your mom to talk to your doctor, I mean go to the doctor and tell them what you told me.
There are other benefits to birth control aside from the important anti-baby-making ones, it also regulates your period, and may even tone down the effects those hormones from your period have on your body. So definitely talk to your doctor about what kind of effects it will have if you do come off of the pill.
Is there a chance you and your boyfriend will start having sex again? If there is, I would consider a new diet and maybe exercise routine to deal with the added weight, instead of coming off the pill. Or, talk to your doctor about a different pill or a different form of birth control that may not cause weight gain, since they're all really different.
