 Good GOD!! Are you asking this because you feel you still own this child. She is sixteen, she is above the legal age of consent. You would do better to jsut talk to her and impart you wisdom so she acn make her own choices.
Sorry, but c'mon, she is nearly an adult!

 I Think it is not a good idea to get her on the pill as she's very young and it's no good to be on medication if there is no need I think u should talk plain to her about it so that she can trust you and tell you when she's ready or curious to have sex so that she doesn't have to be on the pill without need, for an sporadic realtion gp recommend condoms which also prevent STDs and that in case of breaking can be complemented with the day after pill or spermicide as weLL, Ithink u both need communicate and talk take her out, shopping or wahtever and talk about the whole thing maybe she's not having sex and you panic about something useless

 Its not something I would enforce on her if shes not happy with it. I mean she could be offended that you automatically presume she will be having sex, and could show that you doubt her. But i would point out all the pit falls to her. Unprotected sex, what the pill will safegaurd against what it wont, tell her all the risks and so on... but its all very well putting her on the pill, but if shes not going to take it properly then she may as well not be on it.
If however shes asked you if she can go on it, then yes i would think thats a very grown up mature outlook and shows she is ready to be taking a big step.

You mean against their will, like they are an animal you are spading?
"The Pill" is no excuse for education and judgement. She at least needs to understand the failure rate.

 Better safe than sorry. The pill is ALWAYS a good idea for sexually active girls. Talk to your daughter about the consequences of not having safe sex... and make it clear that birth control doesn't protect you from STD's.
Safety first.

So if you want to ask read up on it first then find out what you think you could get it yourself i have a friend that is my age but one year older and her mom is so cool about sex and drugs and stuff like that and i think it is better to ask one of your friends mom that is going to help you and not tell your mother [ask the mom that their daughter has asked her fo the pill and that is cool with sex]

 As much as no parent wants to face it, kids are having sex so much earlier than we did as teenagers. I'd say you best go ahead and get her protected but just remind her that the pill only protects her from pregnancy not all those yucky STD's that are in abundance out there. Good luck, Dad!

 Hi Anon,
Well, I'd look at it this way - either you risk the chance of her having a kid before she is ready, or you take the safe route and help her get the pill.
Take care.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 December 2006): It depends on the circumstances, I was in a serious relationship with a slightly older lad when I was 15, and my mum acctually booked the doctors appointment without telling me and took me along and I am glad she did to be honset.
I would probably never have had the guts to go to my family doctor and ask about the pill on my own, so I think it is the right thing to do, I mean what if I had unprotected sex and fell pregnant at 15?, Its definately a wise move.
And its also good for your daughter to know that you are aware that she is sexually active and you are doing whats best for her.
