10 year olds on the Pill...

It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Disgraceful. The very idea of girls that age engaging in sexual activities sends a shiver down my spine.
The legal age is 16 for a reason. 13 is the absolute limit of sense, but younger than that and it just defies belief.
A sad sign of the times.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

very sad news, why throw your childhood away?
Re: 10 year olds on the Pill...
Taking the pill dont mean they absolutly engage in sexual activities. When the pill is prescribe at that ages, its most of the times because of health reason. A young girl of ten is better with the pill than with 3-4 days of intense suffering without it.

I don’t think you omit “the period” by taking the pill, but then again I am not an expert.Originally Posted by UglyandHasty
It could be a precaution... however disturbing that sounds.

AKAIK the pill can make it less painful.

It also said that 1376 girls under 16 were proscribed the Pill, which is roughly 0.1% of the population of Scotland. That's an awful lot if they are getting it just for the pain...

Oral Contraceptives are basically hormones to prevent the release of the egg. To be precise.
FSH which is secreted by the pituitary gland and causes an egg to mature in one of the ovaries, and also stimulates the ovaries to produce hormones including oestrogen; oestrogen which are produced by the ovaries and inhibit the further production of FSH as well as stimulating the pituitary gland to produce a hormone called LH; LH stimulates the release of the egg around the middle of the menstrual cycle.
The 'Pill' is just oestrogen and as periods can be extrememly painfull giving oestrogen inhibits them from even happening.

True, less painful and less severe.
