Im 16/f
I want to go on birth control for sexual and period reasons. I heard that when you go on birth control you only get your period once a month for like a DAY or TWO. To me, that alone seems worth it. My periods are really irregular and annoying though. PLus, I am a sexually active teen with my boyfriend who i am in love with. (we use condoms too)... But yea.. how could i bring it up to my mom without seeming like im in way over my head?

I see your problem here, and i understand how you feel about it. But i have only one suggestion and i thought it could help you.
why don't you sit and talk with your mom, and tell her about your irregular period, and how its been really bothering you, and when you tell her that, show her how really annoy it is, so that you can convince her even more, and then very quietly and calm, suggest how you think you should go on a birth control.
But if she doesn't agree , then please be free to post a new question, and I will come up with another suggestion, to help you.Goodluck [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]

Im sure she will understand if you talk to her about needing it for period reasons. Just explain to her that you are tired of your annoying period and you want to control it! good luck!
hope this helps :) [ advicefashionista's advice column | Ask advicefashionista A Question ]
