Question
Hi my name is victoria and i am considering getting on birth control but i don't know which method is best for me. i am a skinny girl and don't want to gain major weight from the birth control. what is the easiest way to get on birth control with my mother finding out? i am not sexually active but asking my mom to be put on birth control would have her thinking i am and there would be no explanations. Should i do the pill or the shot? And i prefer to less of a period.

Answer
Hi Victoria,

If you are not sexually active, I don't know why you would want to be on birth control. There are so many risks and problems with hormonal birth control methods. Do a search on the internet about birth control methods and you will find a lot of information. There is a problem with gaining weight on certain methods.
