Is 15 too young to be using birth control?

Question

Is 15 too young to be using birth control?

Answer 1

well I think that 15 is too young to be having s*x, but if you are gonna be having s*x then you should be protected. So no, not really.

Answer 2

not if you're having s*x.  If you feel you're old enough to have s*x, then you are old enough to be safe about it!  Many young girls take birth control to regulate their periods as well, but you need to talk to you doctor about that!

Answer 3

no  i don't think that 15 is too young to be using birth control. I do think that 15 is to young to be having s*x. I believe that s*x is for after marrige.

Answer 4

For s*x I would say yes but for period problems I say no. I went on the pill becasue I got my period for over week with bad cramps and it just was not fun. The pill help out alot!! But don't use it for s*x... People still get pregnant using the pill.

Answer 5

It should not be necessary for a 16 year old since a 16 year old is too young to be engaging in s*x unless married.

Answer 6

no, at 15 they are at the age that they are going to do what they want regaurdless so why not just protect them the best you can. without ***** control the chances are greater of getting pregnant, just use the pill, 15 is not too young

Answer 7

It is a whole lot better than a baby if you have already made the decision to have intercourse.   Use a condom too.  

Abstinence is a personal choice and a sensible one if you are still in HS.  But not everyone will make that choice. Better be safe than sorry.

Answer 8

15 is too young for s*x, but if you're having it anyway, you need to use protection.

Birth control also straightens out an irregular cycle, reduces cramps, and clears up acne. These problems can start at 15 or even younger, so if you need to treat these problems, then you need to treat them. Age doesn't matter.

Answer 9

depends on what it is for if it is for s*x then she is too young to be even doing that, but if it is for her period or something like that then no.

Answer 10

if you're sexually active be responsible about it. you need birth control, and wear a condom EVERYTIME you don't know what kinda diseases are out there. plus birth control helps with cramps, clears up acne, makes your period lighter...etc

Answer 11

Alot of people are going to be telling you that you are to young to be having s*x, and that you should just wait until you are married.

I on the other hand think that wanting birth control is a VERY mature gesture. You obviously want to be responsible.

Kudos!

Answer 12

For s*x yes just cuz you shouldnt be having s*x to start with...however I just turned 20 and understand girls in high school and they will do what they please including s*x so I say ItF you are then please at least be aware of the danger and play it safe....However when I was 14 I got on the Depo shot and not becuase I was having s*x but becuase I had severe periods to the point I would miss a week of school each month and was throwing up due to the cramps...with the shot every three months I lost a little weight and never had my period until I stopped taking it when I got married so that my husband and I could start a family...if your having these problems with your period then I would check into the depo with your doctor however I will say some women like a friend of mine gained weight and ended up having her period a lot...just depends on how your body reacts to it

Answer 13

Oh, yeah...  Wait 3-4 more years, until you're a little more mature before you start having s*x.

Answer 14

no, if your having s*x atleast your responsible enough to be safe about it.

Answer 15

It depends on why you are using it.  Some people take it to make their period regular others for the intended purpose.  A 15 year old has too much life to live to worry about s*x!!  At 27, I feel completely tied down by my baby... at 15 it would have been really bad.  Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my baby but a 15 year old does not need that kind of worrying in their life.  So, it just depends on why birth control is being taken.

Answer 16

you should not be doing anything to cause you to take these at your age  enjoy your s*x free days because when you get together with some one they never leave you alone

Answer 17

Not at all! Especially if you are sexually active. If your bodyu is already mature-then you are not too young for BC.

Answer 18

yes

cause it means youre having s*x

and 15 years old is too young to be having s*x

Answer 19

for s*x or for periods?

You shouldn't be having s*x at 15. But if you are gonna do it then USE protection.

If its for periods then go ahead.

Answer 20

My daughter started taking it at 14 due to a ovarian cyst.

But I agree that 15 is too young for s*x. If you decide to have s*x anyway then you need to be protected. That means you cannot just take the pill when you feel like it. You have to take it EVERY day around the same time. If this is too hard then try another form like the shot, patch, or Nuvaring. Also make the guy protect you also. You need to be double covered. You also need to know that certain medications will void out the pill and then you can get pregnant anyway.

Be care full and talk to your mom.

Answer 21

if the 15 yr old is having s*x than no not too young!  Too many teens are getting pregnant  these days!

Answer 22

depends, my sisters went to see a dermotoligist at the hospital for her acne and he put her on birth control for a little bit.

Answer 23

No, not if your having s*x. I started it when I was 13. It's better to take it if you're sexually active than to not take it and be a teen mom.

Answer 24

If you are using birth control and having s*x...15 is too young

Care to be just another statistic???  1 in 4 teenagers have a "viral, incurable STD"

Answer 25

NO it is not too young of an age to be using birth control. I used birth control since I was 14. It doesn't mean I was having s*x though. My parents just wanted me to be safe. Don't worry about it, it's not to young. I think it's best to use birth control because without it you are at risk of getting pregnant.

Answer 26

i personally dont think theres an actual age thats too young for using it, as long as your using it for the right reasons, many people use it to contorl there periods or cramps, and theres nothing wrong with that but if your 15 and only on it becuase your having s*x and dont want to get pregenet thats not right

Answer 27

If for s*x yes! duh! Colette come on, you know this. But if it's for the periods then no, just don't have s*x, you're waaayyy to young.

Answer 28

well if ur having s*x ur probably to young but it is better to have protection then to end up getting pregnet and having a baby so if u are having s*x then ya use birth control

Answer 29

15 is definitely too young to be a mother. So IF a 15 year old is having s*x, it's better to use birth control than to not use it.

Answer 30

Not if you're having s*x. If you are having s*x or considering having s*x at any age you should be on birth control. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 31

I would rather see a 15 year old on birth control than a pregnant 15 year old. I have a lot of respect for parents who allow their children to use protection if they know they are sexually active. I believe that teens will have s*x if they so choose, regardless of how wonderful their parents are. There are so many horomones flowing at that point that sometimes teenagers have s*x before they realize the consequences.
