Birth control is free at Planned Parenthood, for the first time only I believe. The people there cannot notify your parents, because it is all anonymus (can't spell it sorry lol). But, I would reccommend you telling your regular doctor, they aren't allowed to tell your parents either, and they will write you a prescription out for it. However, you need to be 18 to pick up the prescription yourself. There is no rush to have sex, but if you feel that you are prepared, it's good that you are looking into this stuff. If Birth Control doesn't work out for you, suggest condoms to your partner. Hope I've Helped ♥

yes you can, go to your doctor and ask them to be put on it. or if there is a womens shelter in your neighbor hood,or something like a planned pregnancy building, i think they give them to you for free.
if you go through your doctor, the cost varies through your insurances. It will probably be around 20-40 dollars though.
The reason your doctor cant tell your parents is because its illegal to tell them-- they have a doctor/patient privelidge and they cant brek it.

You can get birth control FREE from PlannedParenthood, but you just have to hope you have one locally. Otherwise they can cost up from $150-$200.

If you go to your local health department you probably can. If you go to the doctor and they bill parents insurance then probably they will know. Also, if you are really young they have to have parents permission for treatment. Health departments and planned parenthood don't have the same guidelines I don't believe. :)

Like mentioned, you can go to the Planned Parenthood center and get it for free, and your parents won't find out (for a while). However, assuming you want to do it right, you should go to a doctor and get a perscription, and insureance will cover it.

If you mean birth controll PILLS, yes you can if you go to planned parenting and they are free, but those are not the best birth control pills. A friend of mine uses them and her period is really really messed up now. But that's just with her, it could differ for anyone. You can also get condoms at any drugstore and they run about 15 dollars for a pack of them and you don't need to have a parent with you or ID. So you can just pick out whichever ones you want and buy them with no problems. (I'd suggest the ones with what is called nonoxyl nine a.k.a. Spermacide.)

You can get birth control without your parents knowing if you go to your local Planned Parenthood but your parents may find out, since you need a perscription to go on the pill or patch. It's free but if you don't want your parents finding out, then just use condoms when you have sex.

LoveNJstyle answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 4:31 pm:
well everyone knows where to get condoms but for the pill, if you dont your parents to know, you make another excuse to get it besides contraception. it can be used for acne and for regularity/pain of periods as well as birth control. <3

Yes, you can buy condoms anywhere. However to be put on "the pill" you need a perscription; in that case your parents would know since they pay your insurance.

you can go to planned parenthood and get it for free, parents will never know. you can also go to a store taht sells condoms and buy one, really a better option than the birth control pill, which im pretty sure you need a perscription for in which case your paretns would know.
