It is good in a way that she knows that she needs to use birth control. You can give her an advice on why you think she is too young to be involving herself in activities that requires birth control, but all we can do is advice and hope for the best. But her knowing that she needs to take the steps to protect herself that is a good thing.

It is a complicated decision. I was in that position and asked my mother for birth control. She took me to the family doctor and we had a good discussion. I am grateful she helped me and I didn't have to deal with an unwanted preganancy.

Talk to your daughter honestly. She may want to be on birth control for sexual reasons, but more than likely it's because she is experiencing pain and significant problems from her cycle. Regardless, talk to her and try to understand why. She wouldn't approach you if it was for a small reason!

Create as many opportunities for the two of you to talk as possible. Take her to get a pedicure or go out for coffee. It's more important to empower her with information about relationships and sex than the actual act itself. Help her to understand how to know when she is ready for sex and what qualities to look for in a suitable partner.
