How can i tell my dad (single parent) that i want to start taking birth control?

I'm almost 16 and I want to take it to regulate my periodsHow can i tell my dad (single parent) that i want to start taking birth control?
I think you say exactly that. I come from a divorced household and the very first time I ever had my period I was with my dad on vacation. (Talk about an awkward moment!)





Maybe do a little bit of research on the topic before presenting it to him. It could show your mature side and that you are not just wanting to get on it to have sex, which would probably be his concern.





Chances are, if you have a good relationship with your dad, he already will know that you are not just wanting to get on it to have sex, and it will be just an awkward moment because you are talking about your period with a male!





Good luck!How can i tell my dad (single parent) that i want to start taking birth control?
In all probability your dad is waiting for this discussion and does not know how to talk to YOU about it. As a single parent, I'm guessing the last thing he wants is another child to raise. Unless there are strict religious reasons, he will most likely be relieved to have you on birth control. Just sit him down and explain to him that you think it would make your periods easier to deal with, since they'll be lighter and more regular. Tell him he doesn't need to make your doctor appointment (do it yourself) or go to the pharmacy with you. If you need him to pay, make sure he knows what it will cost. And one day, tell him how much you love and appreciate him being there for you. It can't be easy as a man to raise a daughter and have to shop for bras and pads! Good luck, honey!
Start by telling him you want to regulate your period because of cramps, dont even bring up the sex factor. Just tell him your periods have been real bad and your cramping is unbearable. Read all the facts about how birth control can help with periods its not just to prevent pregnancy.
Eeekkkk -- Good luck with that one.





Just gotta talk to him about it. Tell him why you want it.








Oh ok .. heres an underhanded way. Every month at that time complain about it. Complain about the cramps and all the blood. Do this for several months so he is aware your period is causing you distress.





Then tell him you were talking to a nurse about the cramps and she suggested it so you want to try it.
Tell him you need to go see a lady doctor for your woman problems, if he digs any deeper tell him everything's been irregular and you've been having bad cramps and you need to go to the doc to get some medicine for it......it's the truth, you're just leaving out the ';birth control'; words.
tell him you want it to keep your skin clear and regulates your body properly. if you are too afraid to talk you can always go to a teen clinic, you could also have another relative help you out with this





Could you please help me with my question please

In sum area they have free teen clinics where u can go 2 get it they will keep ur info private so ur dad wont find out... But then when he does find out that u went behind his back he might feel really disrespect n bad n also then there goin 2 be a big trust issue i will just suck it up n tell that u need 2 go c a lady doctor for ur monthly friend hope i help good luck 2 u n god bless
Right, he's NOT gonna understand. Tell him you need to see the gynocologist, call it the LADY doctor, and then go and ask them. I believe they do not have to tell any info to your parents.
He may not understand at first but sit him down and talke to him. He is all you have so you have to be open with him, especially at this time in your life.
Dads dont really want to hear about it.. so if they think you're sure about it %26amp; know what you're doing it should be fine..


good luck (:
just tell him its about regulating your period.





if you don't have a boyfriend, it will be more believeable
why tell him? go to the store and buy it and take it.
