Do you think putting a teenager on bc gives her the idea its ok to have s*x?

Question

lets hear your story....if you were put on bc when you were a teen what were you told? how did you feel?

My daughters friend is l5 and her mother put her on bc but told her it is a vitamin pill. Another girl was put on it and told everyone is doing it these days. Do you think it sends mixed messages to the young teen or not?

Answer 1

good question i think lying is wrong but  if the girl knows the truth she may think its a license to have s*x  i say a straight up conversation is needed  ,she can stress the risks of aids and std hopefully it can put the fear of god in her  .and i think it is vitally important to talk to our kids about s*x and  other mature matters  so they can be comfortable with you  about seeking advice

Answer 2

I wouldn't give a three year old medicine without telling her what it was. Is this even legal? Isn't it a prescription drug? What if the daughter is badly hurt and the hospital needs to know urgently what medication she's on?

Parents who do this are idiots.

Answer 3

I think the teen needs to be told the truth. Lying, especially about birth control, is irresponsible, stupid, and immature. (Who's the parent and who's the child here, you know?)

When I was a teen (I'm only 25, so not *that* long ago, LOL...I lived with my parents until I was 18 and 3months...right when I graduated highschool...then got outta there ASAP) but when I was a teen, my mom put me on birth control (ortho tri cyclin) b/c I had HORRIBLE acne. I think I was around 14 or 15. I was a virgin until I was 18 and after I graduated highschool and moved out of my parents house. *BUT* for a long time, I was told that I could get pregnant if I held a boy's hand (LOL!!!) Not sure how long before I actually found out the truth or from whom...but my parents never told me the truth or had "the talk" with me.

I think whether or not the teen is put on birth control, it's WAY past time to have "the talk". and BE OPEN AND HONEST! - I never really could trust my parents, b/c I always felt like they were halfway telling me things...and they usually were. I still don't trust them.

Answer 4

look ur gunna get mixed answers all i can say is s*x these days is being experimented at such an early age now days, i first tryed it at 15 years old, the best thing to do is to talk to your daughter about it, no matter wot u do u cant stop from having s*x BUT u can hope she is smart about it, the pill is the one of the best decision u can make also go and bye some condoms for her so she is doubley protected.

Answer 5

i think the best b/c is to have communication with the child, not knowing how to protect oneself is the worst thing.

i have an 18 yr old daughter in college and is very aware of what s*x is all about. whatever question she has, i answer because i don't want boys to tell or show her.

yes, i do believe by allowing a young girl to be on b/c is just like saying go ahead and have all the s*x you want. i don't agree with it at all!

s*x is for adults that know what they are doing and know the consequences of what could happen.

Answer 6

I am sorry but its rubbish i was put on the pill at 13 because my periods were terrible (started at 10) and they were for my periods nothing else i wasn't sexually active until i was 18.. depends on the girl in question NOT all girls are on the pill because they are sexually active

Answer 7

I think your attitude towards s*x is potentially damaging to your child's development and emotional health and also your relationship.

LYING to your child about her cantraceptives is a more noble and adult way to behave than having a frank and open discussion about a competely natutal thing?

Answer 8

personally i think lying to your child is wrong at 15

the thing about diffrent contraceptives is they cause diffrent reactions in  woman and also cause some to gain alot of wieght. ( i gained 5 lb on the pill and im only small so it showed )

anyway if you think your daughter is having s*x , talk to her about it also the pill wont protect her from STD's

Answer 9

Yea, there was a girl in my highschool whose mother put her on B.C. and it was clear to her that her mother thought she was a reckless w***e. Her words, not ours. And she laughed it off with a slight tinge of hurt and shame. Ouch. She may have been a chicken-head , but we all knew she didn't spread her legs at that point. Kinda sucks when parents lose all confidence in you. Her mom even bought her a baby names book! Brutal!  After that, well she stopped trying and did become full-out s****k.

However, I myself had to be put on B.C. early because I had missed periods from a very shaky menstrual cycle. I had urged the medicine, not my parents. It certainly helped regulate me and curtailed the horrible pain.
