asking for birth control
I am a 17th year old female and I want to ask my dad for Birth control.
He has told me before that if I want it, don't hesitate to ask but when the time comes its going to be awkward and weird. So when should I bring it up and what should I say.
My dad is very understanding about everything, I just will feel awkward.
Thank you.

Just be open with him. You yourself just told us he is very understanding, so I'm going to guess he'll be totally cool with it.
Just sit down with him and tell him you think it's time you went on B.C. Don't feel awkward about it, he's your dad and he loves you. He's going to support you, and he sounds like an awesome father :)

Assuming you're talking about the pill or any other prescription bc, to get it, you'd most likely have to go to the gyno... so just ask him if he can schedule an appointment. you can go on the pill for all sorts of things like cramps and things so it won't be that awkward. hope it works out! <3

Next time you two go on a walk or are washing dishes together just say dad, I'm respecting your words on how you told me to ask you if I wanted to ever be on birth control. I just want to make sure I'm being safe and would feel much better if I got on. Can you make me an appointment?

best way is to just be mature about it.
Next time you see him, just be doing something like, doing the dishes or something, and just casually say, "Dad, I think its time I start using birth Control. When can we get that done?"
by asking a question at the end, he will give you an answer instead of saying "really?" or "what?"
his answer will be something like "i can take you to go get some this weekend"
there you go! thats how I asked!
good luck hope this helps! =]
