Asking parents about birth controll
I am a teenager seeking advice on asking my parents to put me on birth controll. It is because I am thinking about becoming sexually active with my long time boyfriend but I'm not sure when. We are going to be as safe as we can be by using a condom also. I need help on how to ask my mom so it doesn't sound like I'm going to be getting physical right away because I'm not, I just want to be ready when I do make the desition. I am very close with my mom, and we have kind of discussed it before but now I really feel it's time I start taking it. Please anyone with helpful ways I could ask her let me know. Thanks! (:

Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
Depending on where you live you may not need parental permission to get birth control pills. That said I do not think it is a good idea to do anything behind your parents back. The fact that you write that you are able to speak openly with you mom speaks volumes about your relationship with her and your own maturity.
As a parent and grandparent, and given the fact that you have not given your age, I am going to include a web address I would like you to visit before you decide to have sex. This site is all about first time sex and "Am I Ready". I highly recommend you and your boyfriend look at this site first. There are other ways for now to get and receive sexual pleasure without sexual intercourse. Your comment "I'm not sure when" tells me you're not quite ready and possibly being pushed by your boyfriend. This is why I'm suggesting you both look at this website.
I do believe that teenage girls be on birth control, with their doctors concurrence, for the purpose of regulating their period. This is an important bodily function. Knowing when it will occur is important given some of the problems young ladies can have with their early periods. By knowing when they and their mothers can plan so as to limit the discomfort and whatever other problems occur at that time. If your periods are occurring on a somewhat regular basis, this would be a very good reason to have a discussion about birth control medication with your mother.

Well my opinion...is just go and ask. Tell her you need to sit down and talk, and discuss that you want to start using birth control. It shows you're responsible. Everything will go naturally if you're close with your mom. Don't be afraid :).
