Where can I get free birth control or condoms?
My boyfriend and I are wanting to have sex but we can't really afford to buy birth control pills or condoms because neither of us have jobs. I know condoms are suppose to be cheaper but when I looked at the store it really seems like they're going to get costly in a hurry with the way we're feeling about having sex. I just cannot get pregnant so going without protection is really not an option, even if it's just in the beginning.
Is there a way I can get free condoms or free birth control? I can't tell my mom either so please don't suggest I ask her to buy them for me!

If you go to your local Planned Parenthood, they can get you free or cheap (depending on your state) birth contrl without your parents knowing. In my state (CA), you can get it free for a year then it's around $15/month.
Condoms actually aren't too expensive, if you buy them at Walmart it's around 6 or 7 dollars a box. You'll have to use them for a while anyway, because once you get on bc, you have to wait anywhere from a week to a month before it starts working.

you can get both at the health department.
i live in Oklahoma and i get both for free.
i dont pay one cent on anything there and your parents dont have to know aabout it because its without parental permission. just ask a friend to take you or your boyfriend and do it. or just ask a friend for condoms or ask them to buy some. :)

Generally you can get free condoms at Planned Parenthood clinics or at school counsellors. You can't get birth control pills for free, but I know my university offers them for $10 a month and so does the family planning clinic nearby.
If you can't handle a pregnancy right now, you should be using both the pill and condoms. If you can't afford it, you can't afford to have sex, unfortunately.
