Heh, I would have to agree that if this is the only info your parents have given you about sex then there is definitely some communication problem there.
I agree with Lebell on this one, even though communication may not be a strong point it is your best shot. If you just show up with a shaved head knowing that they will be mad about it, you will only be ignoring the real problem. If you actually sit down and talk to them about it more, even if you cant get them to agree, at least you are communicating a little more. There may be sometime when you really need to communicate with your parents and if you don’t use the less important opportunities like this one to start communicating then you may not be able to when it really counts.
As for birth control, it would be ideal if you can talk to your parents because it would help with trust and communication in the long run. That said, it would also be ideal if I won the lottery but it ain't gonna happen! So if talking to your parents is pretty much out of the question, find out if there is a planned parent hood near you(don’t know where you are but I think there is one in Eugene and probably Portland) or if you are in school just go into student health services. If you can do either of those things then there is no reason your parents need to know.
