Kaibel tells us more.
Hey guys, OP here! Let me give you guys a little back story on the situation: I found out about this because I went on holiday with my best friend, which meant I would be leaving home for the first time WITHOUT my parents ever. On the sixth day, my face broke out horribly and I was feeling very nauseas. When my parents called to check up on me (since I was away in another state) I told them I had been feeling sick all day. One thing led to another, and they eventually confessed what they have been doing all these years (I'm 17 now). My reaction? Yeah, I was pretty pissed off. I hung up on my parents and literally threw my phone against the bed. The sad thing is, when I get really mad I cry, so there were a lot of tears involved as well. I've never had a real boyfriend or anything like that, so I have no idea why they did this. I'm going to see a doctor once I get back home, but until then, I'm going to ignore the calls and texts my parents send me. Thank you guys for all the support c':

i cant believe ppl are saying call CPS..shes 17 now..practically an adult..in the courts eye she is an adult. you can be mad but the fact remains. you either continue taking them or don't nd express that anger to them! that's all you can do..they are ur parents..talk to them, find out why nd move on!! Good luck!
If they have other children, they will be closely observed or possibly lose custody.

You know, I don't think that's how the legal system works.
Even if she can't get CPS involved, she CAN get the police involved.
What if OP ever had to go to the hospital (WITHOUT HER PARENTS) and they asked for a list of her medications? They could give her a drug that shouldn't be mixed with the BC.
They could have just as easily made you take them. I wouldn't do this but I also wouldn't want another child around until my child can take care of it on their own, without my money.
Actually no they couldn't have.
That's absolutely ******* insane!
That is unbelievable. 5 of the 7 kinds of birth control I've tried made me suicidally depressed, 1 gave me mood swings pretty close to that of bipolar disorder, and the final one gave me horrendous acne and I gained 15 lbs. That stuff can cause very, very serious problems particularly if you don't know you're on it. I can't wrap my mind around whatever "logic" they used to decide to dose you. It's downright abusive.
How long were you on the bipolar one? Cycling lasts for days at a time at the very least and months usually.
I'm sorry your parents did that to you instead of talking to you about it. There are far more safer ways to go about organising birth control than giving it to you without your knowledge or consent! I hope you get everything sorted with a doctor when u come back OP. I have no idea what to say about the choices your parents made in lieu of talking to you though :/
That is a terrible way to deal with birth control :( It can have huge side effects and some things your parents wouldn't even notice. With my first type, my long vision started to go blurry. My second I ended up putting on heaps of weight. It isn't fair what they did but at least hear them out, don't make it easy and forgive straight away though. Good luck with it OP and I hope it has no long lasting effects for you.
I honestly would be with op if she never forgives then. This could have ****** up or body or ******* killed her.
crazy parents
While I'm not too familiar with this, I know that you have to have some tests done first and that you have to start at a certain point in your menstrual cycle. So I'm wondering if your mom got her own birth control pills and was feeding your HER pills. No doctor would prescribe these to you without seeing you in person.

The tests are just a basic physical + pregnancy test. And for the pill you usually just start when you're period ends, but that wouldn't be hard for a parent to do.
I see where they are coming from, but they should of definitely talked to you about it first

Are they completely insane? Birth control can be dangerous, with many side-effects, it's the kind of thing you absolutely have to check with a doctor (for the dosage, number of days a month you take it, aftercare, etc). They're out of their minds. Plus, what if you already were taking it in secret? It'd be double dose!
Insane parents! With all side effects that is very dangerous to play with the hormone levels of a 13 year old! Back in the 80ies one of my classmates unfortunately had unsubscribed hormonal medicine given to her at around age of 15 and her brain couldn't handle it, she ended her life (already, while most of the classmates enjoy their lives fully) in mental clinic (sorry if the place is politically correctly called different, English is not my native language, but I hope you get the idea).
