Choosing the birth control method that’s right for your teenager can oftentimes be a bit confusing. As much as parents don’t want to encourage sex for their kids, they however cannot turn blind eyes to the fact that majority of kids are sexually actively. So, instead of turning blind eyes, help them to be responsible.
The best birth control for anyone is the one that meets their needs and conforms to their comfort.
I assume you feel you need extremely reliable contraception, because you really, really, really want to avoid pregnancy. In that case, you should make an appointment with your doctor, and ask for the most effective kind of contraception your doctor can recommend. To make this recommendation, your doctor will need to know a few things about your health and your habits. Then they will consider whether the pill, the shot, the implant, the ring, or the IUD might suit you. You can discuss the pluses and minuses of all these options. There’s a reason these things aren’t available over the counter: They can affect your body significantly, and can harm some people while working just fine for others. You must make this decision in consultation with your doctor.
The best contraception is abstinence from intercourse , until you’re over 18 or until you’re a mature adult. You should wait until you’re old enough, to understand the value of sex and intimacy in a long term romantic relationship. Most teen relationships are concerned more with experimentation , than love and commitment. You should find out your partner’s exact motives for wanting to sleep with you. Does he want commitment or is he just satisfying his raging hormones? You should also, ask the same question of yourself. Either than that , visit your school nurse or social worker to get the best advice on the contraception, readily available to you.The government usually provides, free of charge contraception, as they don’t want pregnant or sick children. Remember whatever options tabled , must be able to protect against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
