GOOD WAYS FOR BIRTH CONTROL
How can I bring up wanting birth control to my mom? I dont think she ever had sex until she was married..and she was brought up in a strict christian home (no sex until marriage) but i dont find a reason wrong with sex before marriage. I am 16/f and ive been going out with my boyfriend for a little more than a year now. I love him and he loves me and we are sexually active (condom every time). I cant let her know I am sexually active because i dont think she would understand. Should i start pretending to complain about cramps so she will get hints or whaT?????????

Depending on what state you live in you might be able to get birth control from Planned Parenthood without her knowing. Or you could try explaining to her that it would help make your periods more regualr, something like that.

some people have irregular periods and birth control helps regulate it use that excuse

You just need to talk to her. It sounds like you have a good relationship with her, but are afraid of what she will say or think. You and your boyfriend have been together for a while now, and in these days (sadly) it's acceptable for you to be having sex. Whatever her reaction is, if she is the mom you have portrayed her to be then she will get over it. She may not like your choices, but she will be happy that you have made a mature and responsible decision by coming to her.
If that is truly not an option, go to Planned Parenthood. They will give you birth control and it is free and confidential.
Just be careful that your mom doesn't find out you went behind her back. She may not trust you after that.
I think it's better to just suck it up and have a girl talk with your mom!
And...GOOD FOR YOU that you are making responsible choices! There are a lot of teen girls that should learn by your example!
Good luck, hun

If you absolutely can't tell your mom the real reason as to why you want to go on birth control, blame your period. Tell your mom that your period is very heavy and irregular and that you heard if you go on birth control, it will regulate your cycle and lighten the flow.
This may work, and it may not. But it's worth a try.

I know of a few other reasons to get birth control that aren't sex related. Such as it puts your period on track. Just tell your mom that your period is coming randomly & isn't coming on time. Or if you have acne it clears up your face. Just tell her you're really sick of having this acne & you know that birth control clears it up. If that doesn't work you might have to get it behind her back. It's free at Health Departments & they can't tell you parents about it because it's not an actual doctor. But, if you went to your doctor it's on your records & your mom would be able to find out. But a bad thing about that is when you go to the doctor & they ask you, "are you on any medication?" You would have to say yes. Because you are. But it wouldn't be a problem if your mom didn't come in the room with you.
Hope I helped.
