Yes, you can definitely get condoms without your parents knowing, and its a great thing you are asking. Condoms are not "evil", but I understand your parents not wanting you to be sexually active. Good for you to protect yourself just-in-case, but hopefully you will wait a few more years, right?! :-) (Give boys a chance to mature..ha ha!).
Places to get condoms:
- Any drugstore, grocery store, gas station. If you have a neighborhood store you can walk to, just get them off the shelf and pay for them at the counter. No one will ask questions, and it's still embarrassing no matter if you are a teenager or older adult!
- Condomania (http://secure.condomania.com/Condoms/ is a reputable online condom store (universities use this company for their bulk supplies in the student health center), and they have discreet shipping policies: "All orders are sent in discreet plain brown envelopes or boxes. The "Condomania" name will not appear on the outside of your package". If you are able to check the mailbox (make sure you have this shipped through U.S. mail and not FedEx, who knocks on your door), this could be a good option, or have it mailed to a friend's house if their parents don't open mail.
- Planned Parenthood provides free condoms, depending on your location. You can call them and ask!
- Your doctor's office. You can also call your doctor, and ask if you are able to get condoms from them without your parents knowing, but you may need to be older? I'm not sure.
- Your school nurse. I know high school nurses have condoms available, not sure if your school does or not?
It's always the best policy to talk with your parents about your curiosity regarding boys and relationships (not necessarily sex), as they may be cooler than you think!
