I am 20, almost 21 years old, and my boyfriend is from a family of very similar values and was raised similarly. He and I are talking about potentially having sex (sounds so geeky, ahh), but I know that to get birth control and *not* have to hide it, I'll have to talk with at least my mom. My mom has always been reluctant but semi-reasonable in regards to potentially having the sex talk, whereas although I am 99.9% sure my dad had sex in college, I am also about that sure that he is against any idea of me doing so. My mom has, on a couple of occasions, tried to bring it up, and because the talk was of no relevance or use to me at those points in time, I brushed her off. Well, I need to talk with her about it now (yes, I know that technically I am a grown woman, but still on their insurance (also making it difficult to 'hide', being in college), and I don't know how. My parents are religious, and although I don't think it plays a part in my mom's thoughts on it (she told me that when I decide to, make sure it's someone who respects me), I am, frankly put, scared sh*tless. Advice? I am not going to a Planned Parenthood; besides, I don't live anywhere near one.
Oh and BTW-- they pretty much pay for everything. Sucks, but so is the life of a college student in a town with NO jobs.
