Today was my first time at pp and first
time getting a pap smear, etc. It went
fine and I really wish I had known about
pp sooner! I sat in the waiting room and
a few girls under 18 came in and they got
services (bc, morning after) for basically
free! Anyways, I am 19 and I am living
with my parents during the summer until I
go back to college. I sometimes work at a
retail store making $5.50/hr, about 5-10
hours per paycheck. I haven't been
working for about 1-2 months now and so I
didn't have a paystub to prove to pp of my
income. They charged me full price ($225)
today, didn't have to pay it yet but said
to bring in the paystub when I can and
they will discount it if I qualify. But,
they said I need to bring in my parent's
income info also since I live with them.
But, I do not want my parents to know I am
on bc and so I don't know how I can get
the income info from them for pp??? Maybe
I should of told them I am in college and
only living w/ them for the summer? Does
this make sense and what should I do?

Thats insane! I never paid that much ever
and im 21 and have been going to pp since
I was 16. Bring in your paystub and
explain to them that u dont want your
parents to know and you dont make enough
to pay that much. They are really good
with that stuff, and I find that people at
pp are nice! No other way to put it.
They understand discreteness thats why
they're there. You can also use insurance
with them and the insurance company will
not disclose it to your family. Atleast
mine didnt and I was picking up bc every
month for years.
Goodluck
