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.

said from george lopez...?

Why would evolution make it possible to control your bowels when going private is social?

Why is man the only animal that goes private? Evolution does not include physical control of body functions for social reasons.Why would evolution make it possible to control your bowels when going private is social?
You've never taken a comparative zoology course. Humans and other placental mammals have two openings down below - urinary/genital and intestinal. Most of these species have very good control over their function (there are exceptions, especially among domestic animals) and many animals are very private about where they poop (I don't know why you think humans are so special in this regard). Our evolutionary cousins and predecessors - the more primitive mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians aren't built the same way - they all have what's known as a cloaca - a single opening to serve all three functions. If they had no control over their functions, things could get very messy, especially during reproduction. Physical control of urinary/intestinal/genital functions is of paramount importance during reproduction and was certainly influenced by selective pressures. We have control of these functions because it evolved in our line of descent long, long ago.





Illustrating our relationship to earlier vertebrates, humans still possess an embryonic cloaca that divides during development. Sometimes it doesn't and things get very weird - look up sirenomelia.

What do you think pre-20th century humans thought of this?Why would evolution make it possible to control your bowels when going private is social?
Okay usually I wouldn't even try to answer this, however...here goes. Because evolution didn't cause this.


There are two trains of thought, and belief on the subject of evolution as a whole. One is that it is the answer to all the question to how we got here, and the other is that we were created by God. Now I'm not going to start a major debate here, and this is a little off topic, but think about this for a minute. To believe in the theory of evolution you have to throw out the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. Look them up , and do some research and you'll find that there is little, if any solid proof for belief that the theory of macro- evolution is a fact. To answer your question in what I believe to be the truth, and what the Bible teaches upon the subject of moral behavior. That God wrote the natural moral laws upon the hearts of men, this is why certain things are a constant in all cultures.
actually, many carnivors defecate in private. This has to do first with the fact that their feces is usually far more messy and smelly than herbivors, and thus needs to be removed from the place of dwelling as far as possible. Examine wolves, for example, in the wild. Domesticated dogs are a different situation entirely.
some people decided to mess with us they made up some rules that humans belived, and from their deirected usin a way most benifical to the 1 percent of the poopulation there is. if we didnt have to wear clothes, there would be less shame, more confidence, people would eventully realize that they are being controled, and revolt. it would take more then just clothes, but its a basic senerio.
I know my dog controls its bowels, otherwise it'd be living outside. We tend to poop in private because it's a learned trait, not evolutionary.
the same reason people wear clothes, genius; it has nothing to do with evolving restraint, its from evolving a concious mind.
its an IBM compatibility feature
because poo is gross

What are some good, healthy ways to control an appetite?

My mom's always said I've had a really good 'health appetite', but I think I'm having trouble with my wieght because of it. I work out on a regular basis, but I'm always eating.





Any suggestions on how to reduce my eating habits?





Thanks a million :)What are some good, healthy ways to control an appetite?
First of all, you are beautiful, regardless of your weight. But a good way to curb your appetite is to drink plenty of water. Often, your appetite is really just your body needing water. Ask yourself if you are really hungry or maybe just bored. Find an alternative outlet. Another great way to curb your appetite is to take your time and avoid distractions while you are eating. Stop eating not when you're stuffed, but when your hunger is satisfied. We tend to eat more when we are distracted, without realizing that we are already full.What are some good, healthy ways to control an appetite?
when you feel hungry, drink a glass of water instead. instead of watching tv, go for a walk.
drink a glass of water before you eat a meal or make sure to drink it while you eat. Eat a lot of fiber foods or a salad with your meal. Apples are good to eat maybe as snacks or an hr before you eat to keep you from overeating. Sometimes I just do not want to stop eating because it so so good though I am full, so I have to put it away fast or dump something in it so you will not want to eat any more of it!
Least expensive would be drink more water. Protein rich foods would help you feel ';full';.
You can get your teeth wired together.
Start throwing up after every meal.
eat about every 3 hours and fill up on healthy whole foods
Drink water its curbs it! Goodluck!
Control what you are eating by not buying fattening products at all. Buy things like fruit and pretzels. I love fat free milk. I put some Ovaltine in it so I feel like I am cheating by having some chocolate. Also, continually drink water. It flushes out your system and keeps you full.
Drink lots of water, and eat 6 small meals a day. (1 carb, 1 protein, and 1 vegetable.)





That will make anyone lose weight, as long as they fill a small plate or bowl, and you don't starve yourself.
as others have mentioned drinking water definitely helps reduce the craving for food. I find that the supplement chromium, one tablet three times a day with food, reduces the craving for eating dramatically within one week.
Eat every 3 hours. Plan a snack between breakfast and lunch, then another snack between lunch and dinner. Make your snack a piece of fruit or some veggie sticks. Doing this keeps your blood sugars steady and not spiking. Spiking makes you hungry.

When does missing a dose of birth control count as missing two doses?

I missed a dose of my birth control on Wednesday (yesterday) and then took my missed pill and today's pill today. The problem is, I didn't get the chance to take it until several hours later than my regular dose time.


I normally take it at 6:30am, and I didn't take it today until 3:00pm.





Would this count as missing 2 days of active pills? Or just one.





Thank you so much for your help.When does missing a dose of birth control count as missing two doses?
TRY not to miss taking your pill.





If you've been taking it regularly, i would not worry about the time issue, just get back on track taking it and you'll be ok.
