I am not sexually active. I want birth control to help ease my flow in my period. I have very painful cramps every month and I'm tired of it.

There is no guarantee that birth control will ease your flow and/or cramps. Why can't you tell your parents that you have a heavy flow and cramps?

I would discuss it with my parents. How old are you? Are they against the idea wholly, or is it that you're worried they'll believe you're having sex?

This is something you need to discuss with your doctor ( who would prescribe it) discussion of your period is natural and normal.
