Hiya, well i was just wondering what age u all went on the pill, and what age do you think is acceptable? My mate is 14 almost 15. she has an 18yr old bf and they are sleeping together, shes now on the pill, do you think this is to young? in my oppinion it is.

No offence, but having a baby at 15 you surely don't want any of you're mates to get into the same situation? So why is she too young to be on the pill! 14 might be too young to be on the pill, but it's also too young to be having sex and getting pregnant.
BUT if she's already having sex then of course she should go on the pill! Waaaaay better safe than sorry.
Yup I agree.
I was nearly 17 when I went on the pill and had been with my boyfriend at the time for about 8 months, but then I didn't start having sex until I was 16.
I never assumed that you did choose to have a baby at 15! Was merely pointing out that since you are a 15yr old Mum you would surely prefer your young mates to be on the pill whatever their age than having babies.
sorry Faith it just seems like im automatically presumed as a slag..sorry!
One thing I'd be worried about is whether her boyfriend made her go on the pill so he could stop using condoms. It should definitely be something she did out of her own choice. Is she still using a barrier method of protection? And if not, is she sure her boyfriend doesn't have any STIs? That would be my main concern, especially as she has a boyfriend who's significantly older.

And sexyassmoma, Tegan is a beautiful name
truth be told i was more interesting in the whole 'lighter less painful periods bit'.
My girlfriend had her child when she was 14 so yeah i think your friend should be the pill
I went on the pill at 15, when my first l-t b/f were together, partly because we'd started having sex and partly because i was interested in the whole lighter periods with less pain thing. It didn't work, so now i just have one every nine weeks!
Thank u
I went on the pill just before my 16th Birthday, mainly because my periods where irregular and I was doing sexual stuff with my boyfriend and it stoped me worring. I didn't lose virginity to my boyfriend till just after my 16th Birthday. We are still together and very much in love.
I think 14 is too young to be having sex too but if I had a daughter I would rather she be on the pill and having sex than not be on the pill and having sex at such a young age.
As far as I can tell a 14 year old having sex has some serious self esteem problems.
By the way, perhaps she should use condoms too???
By legal definition this man WOULD be classed a paedophile...he would be placed upon the sex register if he were caught and prosecuted. Simple as that really.
Wonder what kicks he gets from having sex with a child??
Thats what I said!
Personally I don't think there is much of a difference between 15 and 16, however I still feel the law should be there - even though in this case it seems ok to break it. I probably aren't making much sense. lol.
This girl doesn't seem that responsible if she has been presuaded to neglect condoms for the pill. Has she had this guy checked out for STI's. If not she is in danger.
Me and my guy always use condoms besides the fact I am on the pill and we were both completely innocent virgins when we met. Using condoms help me relax or I would just stress worrying bout pregnancy.
Well i went on the pill at 12. And before i start a moral debate it was purely to control some amazing ("waterfall" as described by my doctor) type periods so under those circumstances i don't think there is an "acceptable" age. As for the sex reason thats a different subject all together!
You dont suddenly have the ability to drive overnight on your 17th birthday, you dont only have the tolerance to take alcohol when you're 18. The world is based on rules, which have to be stuck somewhere. Wthout rules we'd be in bloody disarrary!
