My boyfriend and I want to have sex, but I keep saying no and holding off because I am so worried and paranoid about getting pregnant. For the first time I agreed that he didn't have to use a condom even though I know he should. But for the times after, I'm making sure he does. Since he's not going to, I wanna go on the pills. But my Mom won't let me, because she'll freak if I ever ask. I have asked to go on this one birth control before my boyfriend and I were even dating to help cramps, not for sex. And she said no because I was too young. So, I don't know how to get them? And which ones should I get if I ever get the chance? Any more information could really help.
Thank you ! (link)

Well if he wants to have sex you should make him wear condoms. Birth Control only protects against pregnancy not STD's.
That being said, if you go to your local Planned Parenthood they will examine you and give you birth control pills. They usually determine the cost based on a sliding scale based on the amount of money you make and since it seems you are still young it should be relatively inexpensive.
Condoms would still probably be best.
Good luck!

First, did you take your pregnancy test in the morning? Your results will be most accurate first thing in the morning. Second, women skip periods for a variety of reasons. Stress, change in diet, ti can be a variety of things. If you are still concerned go to a doctor and take a blood test or ask your gynocologist about the missed period, they will be able to give the best and most accurate advice.

My friend (17) and I (17) want to go to get birth control. I have been reading on here and on plannedparenthood.com about the different kinds and the exam and all that good stuff. But I have found contradictory statements. How much money should my friend and I bring each for the total amount? (link)

I think planned parenthood requires you to have an exam before they will give you birth control. They generally use a sliding scale based on income, since I assume you are still in high school you likely do not make much money. If you call them in advance, I'm sure they will be able to give you a rough estimate of the cost.
