    This is a question you should talk to your mother about.

    It is my opinion, and mine only, that 14 year olds should NOT be having sex, therefore birth control is not necessary.

    Because of the changes still happening in your body, you will NEED to see a doctor about any kind of birth control you use.

    A doctor will also be able to take a look at your medical history and see what would be safest for you overall.

    Honestly, the best birth control for 14 is abstinence, though I know you will just think that I'm judging you and have no idea what you're thinking/feeling. I DO know, and I also know, from personal experience, that regardless of birth control, that having sex is the leading cause of pregnancy. I got pregnant, as a teen, using 3 forms of birth control. I was using them correctly. I got pregnant the second time I had sex. I was also a straight A student, in the National Honor Society, on student council, and had been dating my boyfriend for 2 years. He left me right after the baby was born, because he couldnt' handle how serious everything was, and "he was too young for all this crap"

    If your really wanting to have sex that bad then best thing to do is go see a doc and always carry a condom around with you.While the pill and other female birth controls may help you staying away from being a mum,condoms are the only thing that will protect you from stds.talk to your parents about it but chances are they will agree with most people and say that your way to young.
