This is interesting. I wish they would do it where I live.

You might be able to get free BC from planned parenthood. I can't remember if they will give it to someone who is under 18 or not though.

They will, but I have yet to have the time to set up an appointment and all that. I have friends who do it. Eventually, I think I will sign up for Take Charge.

what is take charge?

[whitneythegreat.livejournal.com]

"Take Charge" is a program in WA Planned Parenthoods where, if you are below a certain income level, you can receive free checkups and birth control and all those loverly things.

There's more info on it. If you're a teen, you pretty much automatically qualify--I don't know any teen who's making over $17 grand a year :-P.

I think that is what I go through then.
My birth control was free at PP, because I make far less than I should.

Yeah...I'd like to do it someday but I'm heading off to college in just a few months, and so it may be pointless to get the ball rolling only to stop it soon.
