Hi Anonymous,
Though I don't know you or your family, it is important that you talk honestly with your mother. Have you and your mother ever talked about the "facts of life"? I know, some parents feel uncomfortable having "the talk" or hope that someone else, maybe a health education teacher, will take care of it.
But, isn't it better to tell your mother that you are ready to use birth control rather than wait until it is too late and you are pregnant?
I am a mother of three children. I spoke honestly with my daughter that when she felt that she was mature enough to be sexually active, then she needed to be using birth control regularly. I spoke with my sons, that when they were mature enough to be sexually active, that it was their responsibility to use condoms each and every time that they engaged in sexual activity.

Please talk with your mother,
