My suggestion is the same as the others. The only thing I want to add is if you think you could be pregnant, take a test. And schedule an appointment asap so you can get on a birth control pill to help you regulate your cycle.

There is a birth control injection that you can get where you only have a periond a few times a year. Some people can tolerate it, some cant. But it does work. Ask your gyn about it.

Get a v*brator... and save yourself from the "real thing" at least for now. You shouldn't have sex if you dont have more than 1 way to protect yourself. Are you on birth control? If you aren't... you better hope you have good luck, because you will end up pregnant. It isn't worth it, plus that "silver bullet" can do alot more than that eighth grade "horn dog".

Generally it starts between the ages of 11-15 but I have heard of cases where it didnt start till 17.  If you are in the mid to upper teens and still havent gotten your cycle yet, (Im assuming you are a female), then go see your family physician to make sure nothing is wrong other than your body is simply not ready yet.  Also, if you are extremely athletic, your cycle could be delayed by that.  Dont worry.  Im sure everything is fine.

well, i am glad that your boyfriend isn't pushing you to, that's great.\nBut to tell you the truth, you will the right time, it isn't something anyone but you can tell yourself. you'll just know when your ready. \n\nI may sound like a loser to the rest of you but i didn't have sex until i was 18 and very much in love, and i have never regreted it since.  but if you do choose to have sex plz make sure you use a condom, and even talk to your doctor about birth control ( cause if you have it one you may not want to stop). I know your parents may not approve ( besides parents usally would like that kids to be 40 before they have sex) but if you go to them before hand and tell them that you want to be put on birth control, and be honest with them, then maybe they will be a little more excepting, and understanding that you are being responsible and that you know you are not ready to be a parent. But if you in anyway feel like this is something you don't want or are not ready for the plz i bag you not to do it. your first time should be a wonderful experience, something you will look back and remember fondly, and be happy knowing you'll never regret the choice you make.

There are some forms of birth control out there now that will only let that dreaded cycle visit you but four times a year.  Go see your doctor and ask.

Just see your gynecologist.  He will do a complete exam, get a current history and, if there are no contra-indications, will put you back on the pill.

I don't know the laws, however as you are a minor your parents do have a great deal of control on you. A good resource is planned parenthood. They can help you to learn about options, how to talk to your parents and any legal issues that you may face. They can also help you get contraception after the birth so you can minimize the chance of this happening again.

Try going on the pill

You can go to your local health clinic. It's always free there. You will have to do a pap though. The only thing that the health clinic will ask for is a donation. You can donated $5.00. No big deal. Your doing a responsible thing by wanting the pill.:)

It is 18 in every state of the Union.  voting, signing contracts, entering school, quiting school without parental signatures.\nHowever, the age of receiving birth control pills without parental knowledge or consent is lower in many states.  A doctor does not haveto tell your parents that you are pregnant, that's up to you when you are younger than 18.\nGood luck... have fun without me.....Trevor.

Well, what kind of 18 year old are you?!? I cant believ you don't know this stuff before?!?! \nAnywayz, 1) girls bleed cuz there hymen breaks\n2) just get a bed, a condom and don't forget the girl\n3) To avoid having a baby is something called birth control. you can use condoms, or she can take The Pill.. or any other way (but mostly, those two are most common).\n4) you can learn about sex from SCHOOL (if you went to one) or just look up some websites using yahoo search.\n\nbtw, your weird and freaky..

Birth control pills affect every woman differently, and they can be tricky at first to  take. In order for them to be the MOST effective, you need to take them at the same time everyday, and don't miss any days. You usually have to try 3 or more to find the right dosage and hormone match for you. \n\nHowever, there are more options to birth control than just the pill. I'm sure you've heard of most of these, but here is a short list to refresh your memory so you can ask your gyno about them:\n* the patch (I love it)\n* the Nuva-Ring\n*diaphragm\n*depo-provera injection (once every 12 weeks)       \n*IUD \n*condoms\n*female condoms\n*spermacide\n*and a few other things that are not so popular \n\nThe best thing to do really is to chat with a gyno that you are comfortable with and let her give you her top choices for options. \n\nKudos to you for being responsible for your sexual health!!

I have no idea but I am way over 21 and I have to go through all kinds of hell to get one.  No matter what state you live in you should be able to make mature, responsible choices concerning your own reproductive decisions provided you are over 18 and of sound mind

If you have to ask how, you're too young to participate.  Wait until you're old enough to know how. What if you get pregnant?  No birth control is 100% effective.  Are you prepared to be a mother?

See your doctor. Hormonal birth control really helps.
