i took birth control since i was 13 even though i stayed a virgin till 16, it just a safe thing for your self, just in case kinda thing! you never know when your itch will need to be scratched. and you don't baby that young if you did want to expiriment later that is.

It might not be that she doesn't trust you,but she knows that a 17 year old boy wants more than to hold hands. This is not giving you permission to have sex,but if you do you will be protected,because he can tell you anything. Your Mom is just looking out for you,because you don't need a baby at 15.

Not that she doesn't trust you, but she wants to protect you from the possibility of becoming pregnant at an early age if you and your boyfriend do decide to engage in sexual activity. Warning though, birth control does not protect you from Sexualy Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and if you do want to have a sexual relationship with your boyfriend, be sure to have him wear a condom.
If you are concerned about going on birth control, perhaps it is best to discuss the issue with your doctor--you have the right to take or not to take birth control medication. There are risks involved in any type of medicine, so if you have any concerns about being under hormones to control your ovulations, you'll need information from your doctor about the choices you have as patient.
If you are feeling pressured to be on birth control or forced into taking it, seek help immediately from another adult (maybe your dad, a family member, teacher, pastor, etc.) and talk about the situation. Good luck!

Sweetie, she's trying to protect you. It's not that she doesn't trust you. Maybe she just wants you on birth control to teach you a more responsible way towards sex. So this way when and if you do decide to have sex you'll be ready. Don't take it to heart. I wish my parents had done it with me, I was too scared to go by myself, and therefore ended up pregnant before my high school graduation. So just look at it as she just wants you to be prepared for when you do feel you're ready to have sex, not as she doesn't trust you.

Your mom does trust you, she probably feels that she to too young to be a Grandma. Be grateful that your Mom is open minded when it comes to birth control. A lot of teenage girls are not able to talk to their mothers about birth control and end up getting pregnant.
My mom wanted to put me on the pill when I first started dating when I was 16. I told her I was not ready to have sex yet and I would let her know when I was ready to have sex. When I turned 18 I felt that I was ready and got on the pill. It was nice not to hide that fact that I was having sex from my mom. I am very thankful that my Mom was open minded when it came to birth control.

being 15 and dated a 17 year old is hard for a mother to trust. if you're not having sex now that's wonderful but trust me sooner or later it might happen and she is just looking out for you're welfare being a mom at 15 is not a easy job. plz don't be so hard on her instead talk about w/ her. good luck to u.

because your 15, and he is 17. she knows what guys want and what he is after. he may pressure you after some time, tell you what you want to hear not what he means... get what he wants and go. trust me been there done that. dont give in, if he really cares for you he will wait long enough for you until you know for sure you want him in that way or if he is the one. RESPECT yourself!!! your mom just wants to take extra precaution so you can stay young have fun live your life and don't get pregnant too soon!! It's not that she doesnt trust you, she doesn't trust him!! Good Luck

She's being a protective mother. You might not see it now but she is looking out for your best interests. She's doing it because she loves you, not because she doesn't trust you.
Also, birth control pills aren't half bad! They clear up your skin and make your period easy to track. And if you do start having sex your risk of pregnancy is drastically reduced.
Now go hug your mum!

She is just trying to prevent you from becoming another pregnant teen... she knows how adolescent guys are and that sooner or later they want to get lucky.
Have a good talk with her, tell her your point of view, why you aren't and won't have sex anytime soon and hear her opinion. There must be a reason why she doesn't trust you.

no sweetheart its not because she dont trust you. She was that age at one time to. You might not be planning it but it might just happen one night when you dont expect it and when the urge is there and you feel the same way you'll be glad your on the pill! Theres nothing wrong with wanting to make sure her daughter gets to finish school and go to college. You want to wait for children later. Trust me, You'll do the same to your daughter later down the road.

Just because she's putting you on birth control doesn't mean she doesn't trust you - it just means she's being a mother.
And hey! You know what else? Birth Control not only keeps you un-pregnant, it also helps your skin out, and will regulate your period more! It's a good thing, trust me. :)

Yeah I can help.
Go on birth control like she says.
She doesnt trust you nor should she, you're 15.
Last thing you need is a child.

Hey I don't think it has anything about trusting you but there is that small chance that something could happen and she is being your parent and trying to protect you she knows what it is like to have a child and you have your whole life ahead of you to worry about a little one so tell your mom thanks it will make her feel alot better

why dont u sit down and talk with her. even if u are not having sex she just cares and is concerned. she justs wants to make sure that u dont get pregnant JUST IN CASE u did do something and not realize it. things happen alot that u dont mean for to happen. im sure she does trust u. just talk to her though

she does trust your intentions, but her and her friends were 15 once too, and wants to be safe, tell her ortho evra, it helps with acne and b.c. in general makes your periods lighter and shorter. just remember b.c. is not a free pass to be a hoochie, stay a good decent girl!! (and hug your mom for caring so much about you, it couldn't have been an easy decision for her)

well, sit down and talk to ur mom and ask her why she doesnt trust you. dont yell and cause trouble but be calm. if ur dad is more than 2 yrs. older than ur mom than tell her that. if the guy ur dating doesnt treat you like crap then continue ur relationship. if he acts like ur his dog than tell ur mom she was right. just tell ur mom its only 2 yrs. apart. or tell her u wont go to parties. thats probably y she doesnt like it. she probably thinks you will go partying and get drunk and die. you have to be very careful. even if he is good now.

Have you told your mum you're not doing anything? You could just buy some condoms, say here mum if I do do anything I'll use these, hopefully she'll leave u alone after that.

she is a smart mother. she cant be with you all the time to keep you from having sex, but she can make sure you are protected from pregnancy

ITS NOT THAT SHE DOESN'T TRUST YOU, SHE REMEMBERS HOW EASY IT IS TO GET CARRIED AWAY IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. BE HAPPY THAT SHE CARES ENOUGH TO WANT TO HELP
