My older sister recently started taking the pill because she has horrible cramps, so she, my mother and I were all talking about it one day. I’m only 13 at present, so this isn’t much of a concern for me at the moment, but when I’m older, if I start having sex I’d much rather go to my mom and have an open discussion about it. I don’t wanna ruin my life so soon, and I figure that if I came to her about it as a responsible adult it should be a much easier conversation. I totally say that talking about it with your parents is a-ok. It’d also be a lot less stressful than having to tell them that you’re pregnant.

Over here anyone of any age can go to their GP or family planning clinic and get a prescription for the pill or any other contraception and condoms for free (on the NHS) unless there is a medical reason why you shouldn’t. They will usually advise you to tell a parent or trusted adult but if you don’t want to they can’t force you. They are also completely confidential unless they are worried about your health or wellbeing.
But please, if you do live elsewhere, it’s better to let your parents know now rather than them finding out when you’re pregnant!

It would be best to pay for it without insurance if you want to keep it secret.
