 I doubt anyone will be able to convince you to wait. Just do everyone a favor and wait until you get the birth control/condoms thing figured out. Can you get an appointment with your doctor, go to planned parenthood, or talk to a school counselor? There are ways to accomplish what you need without involving your parents. Do some research and figure it out. Please don't make a rash move before you do!

 I would think your parents are right. Obviously they don't want their daughter having sex at such a young age. Buying you the condoms or pill is basically giving you their consent.
But I know that parents, as wise as they seem when your older, are always seen as old fasioned and clueless so if you're going to do it condoms are available at any pharmacy.
You need to realise that the pill doesn't prevent STDs and you need to take it religiously at the same time every day in order for it to work. (Trust me, I know). And it takes a couple of weeks for them to work. You can't just take them whenever you don't feel like falling pregnant. They also generally need to be prescribed by a doctor. Condoms are the easiest to access and safer.

I don't regret it and I didn't die because I didn't had sex at an early age. Tell him you'll have to wait until you are married and you are not going to have sex.
