[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 587788, member: 14557"] Unfortunately side effects of birth control are rather individual. I was once on the pill that certainly made me witch on wheels. And was [B]very [/B]effective for birth control - I didn't let husband come closer than three feet away from me. However I have a friend to whom those same pills work well and without any side effects. Maybe you should start with ones that help also with acne and you can well tell that for now they are for acne and to help with her periods (both regulating the cycle but also helping with pain.) I would tell also that they work for contraception (she is old enough that she has a right to know what medications she is on and why) but because of STDs pills can not be an only contraception before she is married/in very long term relationship. And when she maybe has a steady boyfriend and wants to start her sexual life few years from now when she is older, she will also need to use condoms. You don't want her to think that you think she may be sexually active soon (that may even give her pressure to start earlier) but it may not be reasonable to expect her to wait that many years either. I think that best way is to reinforce that it is her body and her private decision. That she should wait till she really wants to become sexually active and that she should wait till she feels absolutely secure with the person she plans to start her sexual life with. I wouldn't talk much about what you want her to do, but try to help her understand that it is her decision and she has to feel good about it and shouldn't let anyone pressure her anyway when it comes to that.
