birth control has alot of hormones so we would not do it till she was around 16 or 17. but, its a hard desicion for a father.
-
I would have the talk and tell her to tell me when she thinks it's the right time, or "close" to the right time.
-
Only after marriage ! And to have sex before marriage is a social disgrace in our culture.
-
I'm 19 and I'm not on birth control pills. However, I'm also not sexually active. It doesn't really depend on the age, but when they need it.
-
My dad took me to the Gyno when I turned 15 to get on the pill, not only was I looking at dating someone seriously but I also needed pain relief from the curse

I'm 20, my mother has always given me the option of birth control. When I started going through a phase and got bad acne, birth control was one of the things my doctor recommended to regulate my hormones. I refused because I don't want to do that to my body. Hormonal birth control methods just really aren't for me. When I got my first boyfriend(18-19) my mother also offered again to put me on birth control, but I didn't want them and told her I'd rather have a diaphragm.

THANK GOD! I have boys!

Sex is a tool for furthering a great relationship and strengthening bonds.If sex is treated with disdain and used for the purpose of only pleasure without transacting proper knowledge then it is the onus of the parents to accept all wrong things from their children.Simply put take the responsibility and show your kids the right path which is true and good for them.Also teach them about methods of avoiding pregnancy.For the purpose of education and not for consumption.Sex should not be used as a taboo subject and no wrong knowledge to be imparted. Like Zack says we revere sex-every temple in India has a pillar which denotes sexual symbolism but it is for following the right path and not for misuse.Birth control pills are to be taken in case of recommendation for purely clinical purposes and not for the sake of having blatant sex.Sex for purely such wrong reasons spoils the moral fabric of that country,religion and society.

When she is 17.

I got it myself when I was 18. Story though. Two girls I knew in high school -- one, she'd been having sex, and was on the shot. Her parents didn't know. Then they found out she was having sex, and they made her go on the pill... so she just sold the packs to another girl, because that girl was having sex and didn't want *her* parents to know.... both of these girls, maybe 15? IF I end up adopting a kid, sex will be something that we respect but are not shy about.
-
I got them at 13 for cramps.
-
Depends on why she needs to be on it. I first went on the pill when I was 18, but I wasn't having sex. I just had incredibly heavy periods and it helped.
-
I'm 17 and my dad has mentioned scheduling an appointment for me to get the pill because "however much I may not like it, you will probably have sex sometime soon." sooooo that's cool. =)
-
Whenever they told me they were having sex or were thinking about it. No matter how much you may not want them to, if they want to they will and I'm not planning on having grandchildren at an early age. I would also remember to make sure she knows that the pill only prevents pregnancy and does not protect against STD's and that she still needs to use condoms even on the pill
-
My Mother took me to the gynaecologist at 15 because I was having horribly heavy periods ever two weeks ans was anaemic. I was put on the pill.
-
I never discussed that with my daughter, but she turned out to be a beautiful devout Christian and brought into this world 3 beautiful children.
-
I don't have children, but my mum supported my younger sister going on birth control at 16, and me when I was 14. Although it was due to problems with my menstrual cycle and it was intended to help. She had always said that when we did become sexually active, even if we didn't tell her, we must go to the doctor and get the pill.
-
I only have sons, but I can tell you about myself. I became sexually active at 15. I told my mom and she took me straight to the doc for a physical and got me on the pill. When my older son (who is 22 now) became sexually active, even though he told me he had condoms, I still bought some for him and just placed them in his bathroom. I think its important for kids to be able to talk to their parents about sex.
-
If you think that she is sexually active than I would suggest doing it right away. Even if you don't agree with a teen being sexually active... they will find their way around any type of rules. It's best to put them on it instead of having a pregnant teen. That's the last thing this world needs. There are other reason's to put her on birth control. If she has irregular periods like I do, birth control can help regulate them or eliminate them... depending on what she wants.
