You are both way too young to have sex if you don't already have this information memorized!
Your best bet would be for BOTH of you to head on down to a Planned Parenthood office and say "we want to have sex but want to be safe. How do we do this?" They will then discuss all your options for birth control AND the proper use of condoms (which back up birth control AND help prevent disease.)
1 out of 5 sexually active people has a disease, so pregnancy isn't your only risk. You MUST use a condom, each and every time and it MUST be on before you put your penis in her.
You should also use another method of birth control, like the birth control pill, foam, gel, patch or shot. In other words, there's a lot of ways to prevent pregnancy, but she needs to figure out what is best for her.
You should also be able to talk to your parents first. Again, a person who isn't mature enough to discuss these things beforehand is not ready for sex.
But if you're really certain your parents won't help then Planned Parenthood is the place and they'll do it for free or almost free.

Get a good condom (or several, you don't want to have the one you brought with you break), made of latex not natural sheep skin or something. They make some witn nonoxynol-9 a spermicide that will help too. Buy it at a reputable store, not a gas station, those can be old and break easily. There are expiration dates on the boxes, look for this, if it's old, or even close, get a different one.
Don't listen to your friends who say condoms "don't feel good" or other stupid thing. Most young men are so eager and happy that they are getting some, they don't last long anyway, a little less sensitivity is a good thing in this case, and it beats the hell out of changing diapers and paying child support for 18 years.
Do not use the "I'll pull out" method, it doesn't work, there is still sperm coming out before then, and it ruins the good part.
These are not 100% they can break, leak etc. Abstinence is the only sure way.
Sex only once can cause pregnancy.

She needs to be on the pill and you need to use condoms EVERY TIME.
If you are too embarassed to walk into a drug store and buy condoms or go to Planned Parenthood and get them free you don't have any business getting naked with a girl.
In the top RIGHT CORNER you can type in your ZIP CODE and find the Planned Parenthood office closest to you. Call them BEFORE you have intercourse.
Unlike some of the other people in this thread I would like to give you credit for at least thinking about the consequences of having intercourse BEFORE you did it.

You and your girl need to talk this over. The only 100% reliable method is abstinence, but you seem to have already decided against that. The next most reliable method is for her to take the pill, but it's not 100%. Next most reliable would probably be some combination of something she would use (a diaphragm and spermicide) plus a condom. A diaphragm and spermicide might also be reasonably reliable without the condom, but you'd want to check statistics on that. Condoms alone are not very reliable.

Protection. Pill, condom, vaginal sponge. But the most important thing is to have a plan for what you two will do if she DOES get pregnant. No method of birth control is 100% foolproof, as many of us can tell you from personal experience! If you can't handle the possible consequences of sex, then you aren't ready, no matter how many precautions you take.

Don't have sex then! Birth control doesn't work 100% of the time. Trust me I am pregnant with our 2nd child and I was on the pill when I got pregnant. and the pill is 99.9% effective.

The Dept of Health recommended at one point (believe it or don't) oral sex for young people. Less risky in many ways and zero chance of pregnancy, although certainly not risk-free from a STD standpoint.

Unless you are willing to take the risk, keep it in your pants.
No form of birth control is 100% effective.
If you still want to do it, get her on the pill and use a condom.

Use protection. Get some condoms and ask her to go on the pill. That way, you're twice as safe.
