Today, I had gotten home from dropping my boyfriend off when my dad said "your phones been buzzing". I had a text saying "you're grounded," from my Dad. My Alarm saying 'Birth Control Pill' had been going off for a half hour while I was gone. FML

Today, my phone went off, reminding me to take my birth control. Instead of vibrating as per usual, it rang. The ringtone had been changed to my boyfriend singing "It's birth control time, birth control time, take your pill, or I'll say it ain't mine." I was sitting in a quiet waiting room. FML

Today, after making love to my girlfriend, I realised that the phone was on the bed and because of the movements, it called my dad by itself. It went to voicemail. My dad will soon have all the details. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I came back to my house after a night on the town. Thinking the house was empty, we had sex. Just as it was getting good, my phone beeped. It was a text from my mom, saying, "Quiet down. Even your father can tell you're faking." FML

Today, my daughter had just left for a date with her boyfriend. All of a sudden, she runs back in the house screaming "I forgot to take my birth control!" That is not something a father wants to hear. FML

Today, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML

Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML

Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up that she would take me to get birthcontrol. Wanting birthcontrol, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I am not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML

Today, while I was having sex with my girlfriend, I heard a notification on my iPhone. I thought nothing of it until we were done, and then I checked it out. My mom had posted on my Facebook, telling me that if I didn't keep it down, she was going to come up to my room. FML

Okay your dad's probably an idiot. Seriously. Birth control doesn't always mean you're sexually active. If you're old enough to drive your boyfriend around (without an adult also in the car with you), you're old enough to take birth control for your own reasons. At least in my opinion. Plus, you weren't texting and driving at the same time. He should be happy about that.

So ... your Dad would rather you were irresponsible & fell pregnant? Is that what he's trying to prove? Fail Dad, Fail.

I like the part where you school your dad with knowledge of facts.

you dont have to have a prescription for birth control, you can get it at most state health departments for free if you have a check up by their gynocologist. I think you can go alone as young as 15, atleast in my state.

Pffffff YDI for leaving your phone somewhere your parents can get at it.

I find it completely ******* ridiculous that a parent would ground their child for taking birth control. Yeah, she probably should have talked it over with her parents before becoming sexually active, but what the hell kind of parent punishes their child for being responsible and having safe sex?

The kind of parent who doesn't want their kids to be having sex in the first place? If you don't have sex it doesn't matter whether or not you use birth control.

FYL. Would they rather you NOT take birth control pills and get pregnant? FYL for having stupid conservative parents with their heads in the sand.

No, they would rather her not have sex at all. Clearly that option did not occur to you...

cyxx... you continuously appear on this post... and while I respect your right to express your opinions, I also have a right to actively disagree with them. You seem to be very pro-abstinence. That's all well and good between scripture pages, but in the real world it doesn't always work. Abstinence-only education especially is a ridiculous way to prepare people for life. I'll go with your assumption that she's having sex, even though it's VERY possible that she is not (even if it's not for specific medical reasons she could just want to be ready in case things escalate, or she could want lighter periods without having a specific condition). Having come from an overprotective household, I understand the way this girl might feel. Grounding is a very ineffectual punishment. At the very youngest she's only a year away from university/college, and she will soon be out from under the regime of her parents. Incidents like this will simply make her act out once she gets there, and she will likely cut off her parents (or at least her father) from her life as much as she can. Open discussion is something I wish everyday I'd had in my house. Fear is not a good way to raise a daughter, unless you want them to resent you.

I went on it for acne and other reasons years before I met my husband. I'm sorry, but your dad is kinda a douche for not fully understanding what it's like to be a girl. And if he disagrees? Show him the post above yours about the othr knocked up girl that wasn't so precautious. good luck!

Your dad is an idiot. Would he rather you be pregnant? You can't stop teens from sex. They'll always find a way to do it. I'd slap him if I could.

I don't know if I'd agree 100% on this, but I definitely agree with the motive. Any form of birth control is better then unprotected sex

I have to say that regardless of the reason for you taking birth control, kudos to you for taking it. You're either preventing pregnancy or taking care of a health problem. Good for you, I'm glad you got on the pill.
