    It depends on where you are. But, in the US I believe that at age 16 you can get birth control without your parents knowing (someone correct me if I'm wrong). However, if you're on her insurance plan, it could get a little tricky.

    Sorry to ask, but a part from her living with you is there a reason you wouldn't want to talk to her about this? Most mothers would help their daughters change contraceptive plans if they knew what sort of side effects they were causing or if their daughters wanted.
