What's your concern here: are you unable to get somewhere to buy them where your family could see you? Or...?

Got it. Do you have any ability to order them from the internet? And, if you're looking to use them with a partner, does your partner have a way of accessing them?

Sorry about relying very late,
I can’t order them on the Internet beacuase my mom has to give a password for me to be able to. I do not have a partner but I would like to have condoms at all times in case I get into a sexual situation.

Really, you'll just have to figure something out here. If you can't have something delivered to your home, but you can't leave your home to get that thing in any way, you're just out of options.

But in all honesty, until you have at least figured out some ways to basically get yourself around -- including to places you might need to go once sexually active, like to a clinic or the drugstore -- it probably isn't the best idea to do anything where you need condoms, you know?

So, for now, maybe your first step is to just start learning how to get around some without a ride from your parents, whether that's about figuring out any public transit, or getting your hands on a bike. :)
