but my mom told both of us if we needed birth control she would get us an appointment. I didn't take her up on it, but I got the message that she would rather I have b.c. than an unintended pregnancy.

My best friend got pregnant at 15, had the baby, then took off and left it with her parents. They ended up raising the child, which I am sure they would rather have not. This may have been self-interest on the part of my mother, trying to avoid getting us in this situation.
