I was wondering whats the best way to ask my mom to go on the pill without her thinking that my boyfriend and i are having sex..because we dont. we think about it, but our values overrule the idea. anyways, my period is 7 days long, sometimes a few days more than that and always heavy...is that a good reason to go on it?

"mom i am not sexually active at this moment when the time comes i want to be prepared and safe"
and also state the period thing... but also you need to realize the down falls of the pill... do some research and be honest... i hope the best for you. [ tearsxinxheavenn's advice column | Ask tearsxinxheavenn A Question ]

Tell her you have abnormal periods (btw, you do have good reasons for going on the pill because bleeding heavily for a week is NOT good!) and she will understand. Be really calm about it and act concerned. If she tries to pull the sex card on you, DON'T overreact or get upset because that will just make her want to say no even more, just say what you just said, that your values overrule it. Act like an adult and she will respect you.
Anyways, if she still says no, you can get it at Planned Parenthood without her knowing, but you have to be at least 16. They probably give you a discount too if you're younger, or else tell them that you are concerned about the costs and they prescribe you a cheaper BC. They have to give you a pap smear before they give you a prescription.
