Birth Control
I want to get birth control cause i'm thinking that I want to have sex with my 18 yeaf old boyfriend. I'm 17. But I don't want to ask my mom for that. I don't like to talk to her about that kind of stuff. So is there a way to get it without talkin to her or should I just tell her I want it but not for that reason?

Unless she is a fool, she will put together why you want it if you tell her.
You might, simply ask her to make you a doctors appointment, or make one yourself. You are not a child, you could take a bus, or a cab to the appointment if you choose. It's all a matter of how resourceful you want to be.
I wouldn't recommend hiding this from your mother however. No matter how uncomfortable it may be it will be FAR worse if she finds out after the fact and feels you've lied to her.
So unless you mother is a raving lunatic who will lock you in the basement, suck it up and deal with the discomfort. Inform your mother you'd like to go on birth control and ask her, or tell her you will be, making an appointment.
She might be upset or irrational about it, forgive her for that. You are her baby after all. If she throws a fit, well, there are always condoms, which are frankly less expensive, and when used correctly, only very slightly less effective then the pill. She might also surprise you, and be very supportive through this. If she is, accept her support, even if makes you feel awkward, that shows a lot of maturity.

It is always better to be honest. :) But your local Health Department is completely confidential and will help you with that. They will offer you various options for Birth Control and then you can choose from them and your mom will never know, unless you tell her of course.
Good luck.
Hope that I helped.

Ok, First off.. Yes there is ways to do that without your mother knowing.
But.
Are you sure you really want to have sex with this boy? If you don't understand the effects and are not sure if your ready to do so then you shouldn't because the effects are not just getting pregant. There are many other effects, emotional, and also physical.
About your mom, you should tell her but I understand not wanting too.
But to answer your question, theres clinics for that problem, you go down you do not need your parents they give you check's and also give you birth control free if you are under the age of 18. I don't agree with this being the best Idea but atleast it will protect you from getting pregant if you choose to do this.

Okay...
So first you should ask yourself...
Why do you want to have sex with this boy?
Are you prepared to be forever connected to him?
Are you prepared for the possible consequences of your actions- and are you aware of all the possible consequences of your actions?
Don't lie to your mother. She will find out the truth eventually and it will drive a wedge between you two. So, you can be brutally honest with her, or you can obtain it on your own from your doctor or local health department. Keep in mind that pills/ shots are only a little over 99% effective. Depending upon which pill/ shot you are prescribed, there is still about a .1% to .5% chance you could wind up pregnant. Those chances increase with missed doses. Male condoms (latex) are 97% effective and female condoms are 95% effective- on the contingency that they are used PROPERLY every single time. If you have never been taught how to properly use male and female condoms, the chances of pregnancy and the transfer of STIs increases.
Do not buy condoms lubricated with spermicide. These condoms usually contain a chemical additive called nonoxynol 9, a detergent, that strips away the internal surfaces of the body, causing irritation and increasing the chances of pregnancy and the transfer of STIs including HIV. It is better to purchase non lubricated condoms and a separate lubricant, or condoms lubricated with silicon.
