Where can I get The Pill?
Where can I get the pill? Can I get it at a pharmacy or do I have to have it prescribed? Do you have to be a certain age to buy it? I'm turning 18 next month, so could I just go to my doctor by myself and buy it, or do I have to tell my parents? Because I would really love to keep it from my parents. It'd be kind of awkward to ask them. Also, about how expensive is The Pill?

you can either go to the free clinic or go to your gynocologyst and ask them for it.. and when you turn 18 you dont need to tell your parents and at the free clinic they wont tell ur parents and the pill is usually covered by your insurance;; so it depends on that

When you're 18 you can see a gynecologist. They'll give you a pap smear to see if everything's okay and then prescribe it to you. You have to drop off the prescription at a pharmacy like you would with other medicines.
You can also go to a planned parenthood or women's health clinic. They'll do the same thing (give you a checkup and prescription). You don't have to be 18 to get the pill, you can be at least 16. If you don't want to wait until you're 18 then go to planned parenthood.
If you're concerned about the cost, just tell the doctor and they prescribe you a cheaper birth control. The cheapest I know is $9/month. A more popular one is orthotricylin-lo, which usually costs $20. Others cost more than that, it just depends on the brand.
Also, when you're 18, your parents don't have to know anything because you're an adult. Just be careful when you pay bills or use insurance because your parents will be able to see what was charged. It won't say exactly what you got done but it'll say who the payment went to.

You can get it at Planned Parenthood.

You can either go to a gynecologist when you turn 18, she/he will prescribe it for you. But if you aren't 18 yet and want to keep it from your parents going to your local health clinic is probably the best option. If you tell then you are a student, sometimes you can get it for free. If not it can be anywhere from 30-50 dollars.
Hope I Helped.
