I Finally Took Charge of My Life and Started Birth Control. How Do I Tell My Parents?

Question by Kitty B: I finally took charge of my life and started birth control. How do I tell my parents?
I’ve suffered from really bad cramps and nausea from my period since high school- to the point where I’d be taken out of the school in a wheelchair during an ‘episode’. I’ve been taking advil for years, but their effectiveness has lowered- so much that I take 2 every 4 hours and still suffer from moderate cramping on them. I’ve heard that birth controls can reduce these symptoms, so I won’t miss college classes or crew practice anymore.(During our spring training, I actually got kicked out of the boat for the week because I had one of my ‘episodes’ in the boat). I went to my physician and secretly got a prescription, but it’ll show up on my insurance bill- that my parents pay. I can’t afford the pills without insurance. I’ve tried discussing it before with my mother, but she got upset and ended up yelling at me that I “didn’t need drugs to solve all my problems” and stormed off. How do I tell her?
