I'm 18, I'm still in high school and I still live at home. I have a boyfriend and I honestly see myself losing my virginity to him. He's really special to me and he treats me incredibly well. Anyways, I want to be ready for sex, in terms of contraception and protection. I feel I'm mature enough for sex, and would like to talk to my mom about birth control. How would I go about this? She's a typical strict mother. Or is there anyway I can get it without my mom knowing?
