So I've been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and im sick of just "messing" around. I want to have sex with him but im afraid that i might get pregnant so i want to be put on the pill, but the problem is im 17 and my mom would have to go with me to the doctor. I dont want to tell my mom that i want to have sex because she will freak out on me. She believes in waiting until marriage. I think I'm going to tell her that I just want birth control so my periods will be on schedule and not at different times each month and because I'm sick of them. Any advice for me on how to bring it up or how to ask?
I just also wanted to add in and let you know that if you can drive, and if you have something called Planned Parenthood near you or a walk in clinic, it is actually free for a checkup and confidential.
They are not allowed to tell your Mom or Dad; even if you were as young as 15.
My best friend has been on it since she was 15 because that's when she wanted to lose her virginity so I know it is real.
I found a bunch and I didn’t want to list all of them for you and over load ya but you’ll find them as well.
If you don’t have a ride or the money though, what the other person said is also very true and should work out for you.
I just wanted you to know about the Planned Parenthood because a lot of my friends that were not able to talk to their parents loved that place. They could always go there and ask questions, get checkups, birth control, condoms, and everything without their parents or anyone else knowing. It made them feel like they had a place to go.
You do have to pay for it, but the sites should tell you how much, and if you have a part time job or a way to get money for it, it may work out for you. It was a just in case though good luck! =) [ Ava29's advice column | Ask Ava29 A Question ]

Wait till your dad's not around, and ask your mom if you can talk to her. Just tell her your periods are always heavy or last for a really long time and aren't ever on schedule, and she should understand. Or if you're watching tv together, sometimes they have commercials for different types of birth control, and you could just bring it up that way.
