Should a teenage girl start birth control when she has her first period?

Please explain your answer.Should a teenage girl start birth control when she has her first period?
No as when girls first get their period it takes a couple of months to get their periods straight anyway (at least it did with me) I don't think a girl should go on birth control until she is at least 18Should a teenage girl start birth control when she has her first period?
It is *safe* for someone to start birth control as soon as they've gotten their period, but it is usually not *necessary*. A young girl would be a good candidate for hormonal birth control if she was having sex and needed contraception and/or if she had painful or heavy periods.





Most young girls have no need for hormonal birth control at menarche as they're not having sex yet and their periods aren't a problem. Menstruation is normal; it's not a disease that needs to be treated. So-called ';irregular'; periods are normal for teens and not something that needs to be treated with pills.
no. because it can cause cancer so its best not to use it until you need it!
It could help to regulate periods but unless you are having really bad symptoms I would say definitely no. There are just so many side affects with taking the pill that I wouldn't take it until absolutely necessary because you will most likely be taking it for the next 30 years.
Not at all. she doesn't need till she is a bit older and is ready to start having sex and doesn't wanna get pregnant
no, she hasn't had enough time to even think she needs birth control because she hasn't had her period long enough to know all of the symptoms!
nooooo


but y


u are a dude lol
not until she starts having sex then maybe.
I don't believe so. Primarily this is because her hormones are still regulating, and it is possible that the introduction of artificial hormones could permanently and severely affect her own ability to regulate. In the long term, it could decrease fertility when she wishes to have children.





Secondarily, girls who are first starting their periods are still growing and there are no studies showing that it is safe or healthy for children that young, or still immature in development to be taking high enough levels of hormones to affect their cycle.
no they shouldnt. it could also mess up their body. but unless they are going to be having sex then yes.
Why screw with natural hormones when the body is taking care of it and doing its job just fine? When a young woman's hormones get started organizing and the body is getting adjusted, it makes no sense to me to throw artificial hormones on them. Of course at times natural is a little uncomfortable. Some suggest birth control pills to make periods more comfortable. I've seen women get their uterus messed up forever when using hormonal bc. I think the pill can be very dangerous. I get suicidal on it. I know women who have become sterile due to the pill. When I was choosing a bc method, I researched them all. What I came up with was the diaphragm. It works without hormones so you don't end up with little Natzi hormones overthrowing your natural hormones. I fully believe the pill is poison for some women. The diaphragm is like a female condom, neither can feel or see it. You put a little spermicide on the rim, which seals it and kills any trouble makers. If you follow directions as to how to use it and do so exactly, it's as effective as the pill, on the pregnancy part, perhaps better. The doctor will fit it to get the right size and to show you how to put it in and remove it. It's easier than to remember to take a pill everyday when you鈥檙e not gonna have sex everyday. You just have to remember it when you鈥檙e going to have sex. If you forget it, of course it doesn鈥檛 work at all. If periods are an issue regarding sex, it won't be anymore. The diaphragm holds the blood over night. It was my favorite bc method. However like the pill, it doesn't protect against std's, or the possibility of getting a disease that will kill you.


Peace
No, of course not. There is absolutely no point.
yes because girls might get rapped and have wild kindy beasty sex with each other!!!!
