Parent trust and birh control

Question

parents want me on birth control but the say they know I wont have s*x and sais just in case what did they mean by this and they act like they cant trust me

Answer 1

Hey, at least your parents are encouraging you to get birth control.  Birth control also helps out in other areas like periods, facial hair, mood swings, etc.  And it's not that they aren't trusting you, they just know that you are reaching that age where you will get boyfriends and you might have s*x, and if that happens then they want you to have some form of protection.  Not to mention it takes a few months for a girl to get adjusted to her birth control, so they just want you to be used to it and have it in your system.

Just make sure when you go to the doctor to make sure they do a blood test on you to make sure that you don't have anything in your body that won't react well to the hormones being released.  I was on Yaz and the day before my 21st birthday I found myself in the hospital unable to breathe and literally a few hours from death.  I am part of the very small percentage of women that cannot handle birth control pills, patches, etc.  So better safe than sorry, get tested for Factor Five and other blood factors.

Answer 2

They can trust you, just maybe not teenage hormones. They also know that if McCain is elected abortions will be outlawed.

Answer 3

My sister had this issue, except our mom said "now just because I'm giving you birth control does not mean I'm giving you permission to have s*x." She was so confused and ended up having s*x (and a baby) anyway. So I guess the best you can do is talk to your parents about it.

Answer 4

Parents are like that when they realize that their sweet baby girl is growing up and becoming a young women.They know that you will become attracted to boys and boys will become attracted to you.So they know you'll have a boyfriend and if you and you boyfriend do decide to become sexually active that you already have protection against pregnancy.I'm sure they want you to wait on having s*x but"just in case"

Answer 5

Thats right, they're doing a little thing called looking out for you. Parents have a tendancy to do those things. They just dont want you to ruin your teenage years by getting pregnant and having that responsibility. Theres alot of teenagers out there who don't even know about how to protect themselves against pregnancy, so your parents are doing the right thing by guiding you to birth control, they just want you to have that option if you do decide to have s*x.

Answer 6

Just in case. They are smart enough to know you'd be enough of an idiot to go around having s*x, think of it as "no big deal", get pregnant, and beg them to help. Me, as a 14 year old, even knows that parents are usually NEVER wrong

Answer 7

There just looking out for you.  

Answer 8

That would be so confusing!  But, parents usually have their child's best interests at heart and they just don't want to see you in a bad situation.

And also they know how guilty you will feel if you do end up having s*x and have no protection of your own.  I don't think they mean anything weird.

Answer 9

They don't want a pregnant teen on their hands. Just listen to them, they are trying to look out for you.

Answer 10

You should feel lucky that you have parents who care about you.  They just want to make sure you are safe.  They know that they won't be able to do anything to prevent it if you want to have s*x but they want to make sure you are careful and safe about it.  Plus, you should be on it for a couple months before it is really effective anyways, so you may not be thinking about now but you might later on.  It's just to be cautionary.  

A good idea would be to go on the birth control "Yaz" because it helps with PMS symtoms and can clear up acne.  Good luck.

Answer 11

my mom is the same but she said when you and your bf start making out we'll get you on the pill... i dont think they dont trust you but just wanna make sure in case it ever happens on a spurr of the moment decision.

just be thankful that they're so open about and and it'll be less awkward than if you told them you were having s*x so you needed it i guess...

Answer 12

Your parents are scared.  

Parents get nervous when their little girl starts growing up.  They want to try and protect you from pregnancy.  

Sometimes even when young people don't mean for something to happen...sometimes it does anyway.  So "just in case" is exactly that...just in case, you're already protected.  

It's not that they are acting like they "can't" trust you...they are wondering if they are doing the right thing, and they are afraid that if they put you on birthcontrol, that you'll think it's ok to have s*x...so they are unsure that they are doing the right thing...that's why they're acting weird.

Look at it this way...you should still wait on s*x, but at least with the birth control, your periods will be short and you'll always know when they're coming, no surprises and now adays alot of the birth control pills out there can help with your skin and monthly mood swings.  

So don't think of it so much as "birth control" as "cycle regulation" ...at this point, if you aren't sexually active...that's really all it is anyway, something to regulate your cycle...the side effect is birthcontrol.
