 I think you should tell your mother. She will be upset but guess what;it is your decision on when and who you have sex with. At least you are being responsible enough to go and get on birth-control unlike most teenagers and some adults. I think your mom will probably think Oh my God! Not my baby!!!! But she will be fine, and she will get over it. I think that being honest with her will show her how mature you are and that you can handle a relationship.
I just want to let you know that birth control doesn't prevent STD's. (Im sure you already know that)

Whether or not you tell her you're engaging in sexual activity is entirely your decision. You're above the age of consent, and there's nothing your mother could do to prevent you getting contraception short of throwing the packet of pills down the toilet, but I can't see any responsible mother doing that.
Your doctor will be able to put you on whatever method suits you best. Alternatively contact the Brook Advisory Service in your area who dish out pills and condoms for free to people your age.

 i would say dont go for injection method there are quite a few risks...i would also say try and be honest with your parents, however doctors can not show records.. so unless you leave the pill lying around there isnt a problem...stay calm when you tell her explain about what is going on and if she is not happy try and give it time
good luck

 If I was you I'd try and tell my mum first but if you think she will be completely against it then go ahead yourself. She should be proud enough that you have waited until you are at a legal age to have sex and also that you are sensible enough to be thinking about contraceptive. She's lucky to have a daughter like you and should be proud that you aren't like many unfortunate young girls.
The injection method can be very affective but also rather unpleasant. You may get spottings of blood irregularly which isn't fun. My favourite contraception method if the pill. As long as you remember to take it at least once a day you are covered 24/7. Even when you have a break for you period you are still covered!
