Birth Control

Emma

I’m 17 and I’ve been thinking about going on birth control. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and I don’t plan on having sex any time soon because of my personal beliefs, but I want to start taking it to be on the safe side in case anything does happen.

How do I approach my mom and ask her if I can start it? I don’t want her to think that I want to because I’m planning on having sex
