There are options for young people who want birth control who don’t have their parents’ consent. For anyone who’s doing the deed but doesn’t feel ready to deal with pregnancy, birth control is heartily advised. And there are many options for getting it on the sly:

The easiest thing to do is to stop by your local drug store. There, you will find a wide selection of contraception, all available for over-the-counter sale. No one will card you, because there aren’t age restrictions on any of these items.

Getting a prescription for hormonal birth control can be harder, though — it’s technically free for anyone with health insurance, but if the goal is to keep the pill off your parents’ radar, you’re going to need enough money to cover your monthly pack.

Oral birth control isn’t the only option, though.
