Hi Britt,

Honey you're not in need for any contraceptive!. You have just started your teenage years!. Your mom should be proud that out of millions of 13 years old her baby girl is exempt from the rest, "SHE'S NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE"!. Enjoy your youth my darling, take things one day at time, when you are mature and responsible to handle sex then you can consider contraceptives!. Your body is very delicate and precious so nurture and cherish it, for those special days when your mentally, emotionally and physically ready for sex!. So, sit mom down and tell her " Your not ready for that because thats for adults not children"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She must think you need it for some reason!.!. Sit with her and try to explain you are not interested in sex at this moment and you dont even have a boyfriend etc and ask her why exactly she wants you to be on the pill!. If She doesn't listen tell her your not going to be forced to go the pill when your not even sexually active, that you wont drug your body when there is no need!. Reassure her that when you do decide to become sexually active you will talk to her about it always and will never do that until you are legal age and ready!. Hope it goes well x xWww@Answer-Health@Com

I do not think you have any need to go on the pill if you are not sexually active it will stop against you getting pregnant but it will not stop aids and other sexually transmitted diseases!. Also in some cases the pill can cause cervical cancer ( I am not a hundred percent on that but I think that is what we were told in sex education) Try and tell her that you are not like all the other girls tell her you are you and tell her that you don't want to go on it!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not even a good idea physiologically for 13 year olds to go on the pill!. This is only the age of the current average menarche! (first period) The menstrual cycle needs time to become fully established!. Sex at that age is not only illegal but just simply inappropriate, being 3 years before the age of consent!. Finally there are occasional fatalities from PTE and strokes in young women on the pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would suggest that at 13 you may be too young for your body to cope with the hormones, and also, as you know, the pill will not protect you against STDs!. Why not use condoms (if you do have sex) and consider the pill when you are in a relationship!?!.!.!.!. going on the pill just because your Mum suggests it is possibly not a good enough justification considering it does have health risks!.

Lastly - don't have sex until you feel that YOU are ready for it, it's your life & you're in control

When I clicked on this question I was expecting to say something alone the lines of "Keep your legs closed, little girl!" but I'm relieved now!.

If you don't need it for contraception or for heavy, painful, or irregular periods, then I don't think a doctor will prescribe it for you!. There's no reason to put that stuff in your body for no reason!. So when you go to your appointment, tell the doctor your feelings, and I'm sure you won't have to take it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just tell your mom that you are not like your friends!. She should have faith in you and why would you be taking contraceptive pills when you are not sexually active!. let her know that, you very well know the risks of having sex without using any kind of contraception and when you will have someone special in your life and will be ready to go ahead, you certainly will use contraception, she just has to believe in you for now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I guess she'd rather have you be safe than sorry!. She's looking out for you, even if it seems sort of unnecessary!. I don't think a 13 year old should be on the pill, because your body isn't even near being developed yet!.

My mom made me go on it too, when I was 18, but I hadn't even been kissed at that point in my life!. A year later, when I actually did have sex for the first time, I was happy that I was on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sincere respect to you! Well done!
I feel that you should go to the doctor and explain the situation!. Maybe he can either advise you or talk to your mum!.
My guess is that she doesn't trust you, but she really needs to because if you ever change your mind she wants to know that you are safe and that you will know that you have her support!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are more mature than your mum!. Even if you was sexually active, it wouldn't protect you from sexually transmitted diseases!. Only go on the pill when YOU are ready!.
Don't take medicine you don't need!. Anyway, no one is going to prescribe you this medicine if you don't really want or need it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your mom you know she's trying to look out for your best interests, but you are not interested in sex!. That if in the mean time you become curious you will let her know before you make any decisions!. Tell her that you have raised a well mannered child!. If that doesn't work once you make it to the doctor tell him you are not sexually active and wish not to be put on any birth control and this is your mother's idea not yours!. Maybe he can talk to her!. Good Luck and GOD BLESS!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey =] if you dont think you should be on a pill tell your mom, if you think you will be doing "what your friends do" then why not play it safe and go on it you know!. but honestly if you dont feel like your ready for it or you know for sure that your not having sex with a boy then its all up to you to be on the pill!. i hope i helped somewhat lol good luck =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is your mom for real, why would she want you to go on the pill, does she not trust you or something, you should stick to your guns and not go on it you are way to young, what is your mom thinking, just tell her you dont want to and when you decide the time is right you will let her know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your mother is quite wrong I am afraid!. Unless there is a medical need (issues with periods) or you are sexually active (you should not be at your age) it is not a good idea to pump your body full or hormones for no reason, specially in one so young, when your hormones/cycles are not settled!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sit down with your mum and explain to her how you feel, let her know your not like your friends and that your not stupid and you know the risks!. the pill has a few side effects, i've heard the main one being weight gain so it should be your decision NOT your mums!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What is your mother on!?!?!? You have the sense to realise about sex and quite apart from that - you are underage!. Does she really not trust you!? Dont go on it just to please her - why not discuss it with your doctor adn explain the situationWww@Answer-Health@Com

keep explaining to your mom honey, you sound like a sensible girl and it's your body!. tell your mum to trust you!.
as you get older it may be sensible to listen to mum but right now you are saying all the right things so stick to your gunsWww@Answer-Health@Com

You should have a GYN exam prior!. At that time the doctor will be able to tell you are not sexually active!. At that point, maybe the doctor can intervene and convince your mum that the time is not right for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

contraceptive pills mess with your insides!. your at such a young age that it could have bad effects!. i would let her know that, and see if your doctor can tell you and her about the effects it has!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she should be ashamed trying to give a 13y!.o the pill!
