Well, here goes. I have ovarian cysts, which isn't a big deal or anything, but it makes that time of the month absolute hell for me (and my parents, for that matter). I've tried loading up on Advil before it gets bad, heat packs, blah blah blah whatever. Nothing works. I'm still down for a good 4 hours. Which, in my hectic teenager schedule, is no bueno. So, awhile ago, I proposed getting a birth control pill, solely for these stupid cysts. My dad is under the impression that if I were to get birth control, I will automatically become a hoe and start humping anything that moves. (That is not what would go down, thank you very much.) I see no problem with a 16-year-old taking birth control, whether it be for cysts or sex or any other shenanigans.
Is it better to have your daughter protected from all the lovely happenings associated with maturity, or shall we just sweep that subject under the table?
And, because I'm seeing this subject come up; No, I am not religious. So commence the biting off of my head.
