That is where she had went. The people at Planned Parenthood were wonderful. They didn't make me feel ashamed. I told most of my friends about it and they never went. Now here it 6 years later and three of those friends have children. I commend you for taking the time to think about birth control before you actually have intercourse. That shows a lot of maturity.
