alright so my boyfriend and i started having sex; we've been together awhile and i completely trust him. We're 17.. still too young for children. I know, we should be using protection but we aren't and i was wondering if there is anyway for me to get birth control without having to tell me mother? She's overprotective and thinks that sex before college is a huge "no no." Do you think i should try talking to her about it? Should i tell her that yes, i have been having sex? It would be the more responsible thing but i know she would never let me and my boyfriend be alone or go anywhere together anymore. Help, Please..

Yes you can get on birth control with out your mom knowing you can go to Planned Parenthood.. they dont tell anything that goes on there unless they think you are being hurt by somebody or raped then they have to report it the police.. um i think so your mom knows your responsible get on it before talking to her about it.. then tell her like your having sex with your boyfriend and that you are on birth control..
But if you feel you should tell her first before getting birth control then i suggest you do that.. cause she might respect it more if she knew you could trust her enough to come to her about it.. i mean your a teenager and like my age and i know if you want to have sex with your boyfriend your going to find a way to do it weather your mom likes it or not.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]

You wouldnt have sex with someone that you didnt love and to trust you. And im not sure about getting pills with out telling your mom cause im not planing on getting the pill. Hope i helped

Your mother is living under a rock if she thinks that you arent going to have sex before college. It's your life not hers. Dont tell her unless you want to. But, Planned Parenthood will help with the birth control.

Scribble answered Friday July 1 2005, 12:13 pm: I'm not sure how this works in the US (in England where I live the legal age of sexual consent is 16, so you wouldn't have a problem) but I'm still pretty sure that if you go and see your doctor and ask for advice on birth control then they will maintain patient confidentiality and not tell your mother. That said, even if that isn't the case you NEED to start using protection immediately, and I'd recommend a pregnancy test. Seriously, getting pregnant is NOT something you want to mess around with, and you need to start using protection, condoms, whatever- straight away. Be safe.

karenR answered Friday July 1 2005, 12:02 pm: You can use condoms. There is an over the counter birth control called Encare that is a vaginal suppository of sorts. It melts and is sort of like the foam. It works very well if used properly and isn't very expensive. I think there are 12 in a package. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
