I am 17 years old . My partner is 18 . Im ready to have sex with him and it's going to happen soon but I know if we're going to be in a committed relationship I'm going to have to get on birth control . I feel like being on birth control is not something I can hide from my mother . My mother is a strict chrisitan no sex before marriage person. She knows we don't agree with each other when it comes to religion and she will definitely not approve no matter what I tell her. Planned parenthood is right by my house I could go there myself and get on birth control or go go to my clinic which is a bit farther , but i feel like birth control isn't something I can hide from her forever . Im going off to college next year which means I'll have more freedom but my boyfriend is going this year which means we have the rest of the semester and summer and then it will become a long distance relationship and I really want to have sex with him we've waited so long. What do I do ?
