Should i allow my 16 daughter to be on birth control?

Question

my 16 daughter mentioned something about on birth control. Shes had the same bf for 8 monthes. Hes a nice guy, although he drinks and smokes, although he gets good grades and is very mature. He got my daughter into smoking hookah. Hes 17 and his parents let him be alone w/ her at home for several hours during the day, I think. I just dont want her to make the same mistake her brother made a have a kid at 16. Do u think I should let her?

Answer 1

Yes. Also provide her with condoms since birthcontrol is not 100%. Keep in mind that you still need to keep open communication with her. This is a tough time for her too. Be cautious and make sure she takes the contraception seriously and if she smokes she'll need to stop to cut down on heart problems when on B/C.

Answer 2

Why not! You already contributing to the delinquency of a minor but condoning smoking hookah. GO NUTS!

Answer 3

Personally, I think you should. Not that I condone teen s*x, but I know what I was doing as a teen. And if she's gonna do it anyway, she might as well be protected from getting pregnant. Although I'd hope she would have him use a condom too.

Answer 4

Yes! If she is sexually active you need to make sure she is on it, go put her on BC asap so she doesnt get pregnant at 16. Better safe than sorry

Answer 5

Yess most definetly because it is embarasing to be preganet scary and way to young did you no its aa average ten thousand dollars a year to take care of a baby that will be healthy. So yes definetly.

Answer 6

yes....like they safe better to be safe then sorry....she will have s*x when she is ready rather you want her to or not, but alteast she will be safe, you know.

Answer 7

Yes , it was very mature of her to come to about this .. most girls the parents find out to late ... be proud of her and set up an appt . to get her on birth control

Answer 8

ofcourse, unless you wanna be a grandma! better to be safe than sorry!

and it seems like you are very okay with this so obviously noone is going to stop them.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

if you dont let her, shell find a way to do it herself.  planned parenthood is very easy access for kids and many other clinics are just like it. If you dont back up her choice for protecting herself in that way, then shes probably not going to turn to you about anything in the future. I think if shes talking to you about it- then you should just keep your mind open and support her. Get her the birth control.

Answer 11

i really think its a great idea. so at least she wont have any kids anytI'me soon.hey im 21 and have a 1yr old baby and expecting another in feb. i should of went on birth contorl since i didnt go back on look what happen.

Answer 12

I think you should be a better parent and not allow your children to smoke hooka and get pregnant/get others pregnant.

Answer 13

Absolutely. Just because she's on birth control doesn't mean that's going to make her have s*x. She's going to have s*x when she feels that she's ready, whether you like it or not. The only thing you can really do is help her make responsible choices pertaining to s*x. And really, if she's doing drugs when she's over there, ground her a$$. Don't just accept it! Good luck.

Answer 14

I think you should let her get on birth control.

Im 16 years old and my mom put me on birth control a year ago i didnt even ask shed rather me be on birth control than get pregnant.

Your the mom. make the rite choice

Answer 15

no she aint goin to do it

Answer 16

well would you rather her have s*x at 16 and be safe or do it and get pregant at 16??  i think i would let her get it, but tell her she still has a chance of getting preg with it and to use condoms too if she going to do it. i know shes 16 but you cant stop her from doing it.

Answer 17

Absolutely, better safe than sorry right?  It shows that she's at least trying to protect herself in some sort of way.  But I would also tell her she still needs to be using condoms whether on birth control or not as there is always the risk of STD's.

Answer 18

Yes.  It is better if she's on birthcontrol than to be popping out a kid at 16 or having to have an abortion.

Answer 19

I think you should put her on it if you think that she is doing anything with him not you would not like her to be doing. And if they are alone a lot and there is no parents home then it has happened or it will happen. Please take it from me I had a baby at 16 and wish my mom would have  talk to me about it more or put me on birth control. Hope i helped...

Answer 20

Absolutely! Kids that age are sexually active. Which means that the alternative is an abortion or an early pregnancy, neither of which are desireable.

Answer 21

yesss, you are extremely lucky that your daughter is open with you and willing to share such topics with you. let her be safe> you as the adult, mom, and friend talk to her and tell her about birth controll and that you want her to be safe. maybe not today but someday she gonna need birth controll> better be safe than veryy sorry bith a baby.

Answer 22

no, let her make her own mistakes

Answer 23

If she is responsible enough to come to you and ask for it then yes.  She is saying that something may happen one day and she wants to be prepared.  This is pretty brave of her and also very smart.  She is trying not to make the same mistake as her brother if she wants bc.

Answer 24

Yes of course. remember its also a way of saying your ok with it but its the best way to keep her safe

and to have kids young ain't a mistake its a happening

Answer 25

of course!! ask her if she wants to be on it though cuz the pills make u gain weight; but i think its a good idea.
