Sounds like an issues you need to talk to your parents about hun. You can get birth control pills at a pharmacy but I believe they need to be perscribed by a doctor. If you have insurance that's great! if not you may need to pay cash and from what I remember my friend paid 80 dollars for birth control pills! However everyone is different. My best advice is to have a meeting with Mom and Dad.
Good luck!

This may or may not help you, but have you considered asking your parents about it? It may seem like a conversation you do NOT want to have, but in my experience it has helped a lot with communication and stuff.
It was actually under the recommendation of my doctor that I be put on birth control, because I was suffereing from many things it can correct- horrible cramps [as in missing school], irregular periods, bad acne, moodiness, etc. Before I was actually put on it, though, I had discussions about it with my parents- and it wasn't as bad as it may seem. They trusted me to make my own decisions, and it opened up the opportunity to talk about sex and things like that.
So assuming that you have at least a semi-good relationship with your parents, seriously consider including them in your decision. There's many benefits to this, including a) then knowing about your medications in case of a medical emergency, b) lower cost- insurance covers a part of it in many cases, and a doctor typically gives a three-month supply as a sample, so you don't have to pay, and c) having the lines of communication open with your parents, and them trusting you just by knowing that you're able to talk to them about things.

maybe you should just go to someone you trust a lot; such as a guidence counselor or another adult.
