should I talk to my parents about birth control?
I’m a 16 Yr old girl and have been in a fairly long relationship and i am very comfortable and happy with my boyfriend. I want him to be my first but I am very worried about pregnancy. I want to be safe however I know If I talk to my parents about this they will not allow me to hang out with my boyfriend as my parents are extremely strict.
Should I really be worried about birth control?
Will condoms just be enough?
Is there a way to get birth control in Australia without having to talk to my parents or them finding out?

Condoms are pretty effective when used correctly but it would be awesome if you were on both birth control pills AND used condoms. At 16, pregnancy would be a bit of a disaster, I'm sure. How open are your parents to this subject? In the states, we have clinics that underage girls can go to. I would imagine that Australia definitely does as well especially since the system provides for kids finishing high school a year earlier there than in the states and they are off to university younger. You are going to graduate this or next year?

I graduate next year. My parents are not very open at all on the subject. Do you believe condoms will be enough?
