Avoiding Parent Consent

Bc what if they would have had sex w/o the birthcontrol, but HAVE to be on it and still choose to have sex?
Just because you have a problem (awful periods, ovaryan cyst ect.) doesnt mean that you should have to remain abstinate.

 

it honestly is why i started on the pill, to make my periods more manageable

yes, its now my form of birth control. when i started having sex (oh, like 8-9 months after i started on the pill, at least) it became my form of birth control, along with condoms. i never said people -dont- use the pill as birth control, that would be stupid of me. im just saying, a lot of women start on it for reasons other than preventing babies

 

Just to make my own views clear, I think abstinence is stupid.

I think having safe sex in a responsible way is terrific.

I kinda feel sorry for abstinence people, until they start pushing their beliefs on others; then they just irritate me.

 

^ why feel sorry for (the majority of) them?
They wouldn't be abstinent if they didn't want to be. Even if they do have temptation at times, they are doing what they want to do and making themselves proud.

 

They're missing out on something wonderful - and they're depriving themselves of sexual experience that might serve them well in future relationships.

 

They're abstinent, not retarded, they do have an idea of what they are missing out on, and a much better estimate of if they will regret it than you do.
As far as the experience goes, sex should be, as you said, something wonderful - not practice.

 

You misinterpreted my words, but basically we obviously disagree about this. *shrug* that's cool.

 

thanks for the input

 

abstinence is right for some
but not for others
*shrugs* different strokes for different folks is all. just frustrating when only one approach is advocated to many/all, particularly when it doesnt suit em

 

I disagree with abstinence-only approaches, I was merely defending the abstinent themselves =)

 

no worries ducky, you arent coming across as uber pushy with abstinence

 

naw, what im saying is that some approaches are better for some people in situation x, while another approach will work better for other folk. yknow, being -different-, unique, not all made of the same mold, that whole thing

abstinence is a great answer for some. but pushing it like its the -only- answer will annoy a great many people for whom it isnt the appropriate choice

 

Also, you fail at making sense.

 

i'd love to see argonmatrix and fibre1 go at it.

Ahh, I see what you are saying. I can't argue with that logic.

 

Gods, I wish I had been able to get birth control when I was a teenager. I wasn't having sex, didn't want it (with a guy, anyway), didn't care. However, my cycles were a bitch, I was completely invalid for a week every month. My doctor actually tried to prescribe BC for me at that age (around 15) for those purposes, but my nice religious mother told him that it would open the door for temptation and she didn't want me to have the option.

I didn't have access to planned parenthood for help. The wasn't one in my town, and she wouldn't have taken me to a "babykilling feminist" for any reason.

Good luck in getting it, I applaud you for taking control of your own body. This isn't about sex, not really, just who's in charge. You're 16, and the fact that you're thinking about this shows to me that you're old enough.

 

ahh why tank you this thread has had a lot of posts so thanks for posting

 

hmmm well just to keep you posted i was in the car with my mom today and she like brought up the whole discussion like we want you to wait to have sex but you know when you do you really need to tell me so you can go on the pill and i wont even try to tell you not to but yea
