I am old enough and mature enough to be
having sex. My boyfriend and I have been
dating for 2 years, and we are ready for a
sexual relationship. My parents would
totally freak if they knew that I was
going to have sex. So I would just
rather not tell them. I want to be safe
if I am going to have sex because I am not
stupid. And the thought of the condom
breaking or slipping just scares me, so I
would rather go on birth control. I can
drive, and I have the money to pay for it
on my own. So do I have to have parents'
permission to abtain birth control? I
really really appreciate all of your
replies!!!!!

I'm very happy to see/hear that you're so
willing to be responsible like this.
You're a smart young lady.
............
But about your actual question...You do
not need your parents' permission to go in
birth control. Since you can drive,
contact your local family planning clinic
- if you are under 18, you can get
anything and everything from there for
free, be it birth control, condoms, or
even an examination if you choose.
Or if you aren't sure if there is a family
planning clinic near you, or you want to
find out where the nearest one is, contact
your local hospital, ask to be directed to
the ob/gyn office, and ask one of the
nurses where the nearest family planning
clinic is.
.................
Good luck to you, dear. Be safe, and have
fun!

No,you do not need to get parental
permisssion to go on birth control.Don't
be so sure that your parents would freak
if they found out you are sexually active
and on bcp's.I , myself would freak if I
found out my stepson was active and not
using some form of birth control!!!Your
parents were once your age and they have
been through the same things,if not more
than you.They may not want to admit
it,but, they were once young and
horny,too!!To not expect your child to
become a sexual person is not
realistic-afterall,how did you come to
be??Go get a gynecologist to examine you
and get on birth control.You will still
need to use condoms-just to be absolutely
sure-no method alone is 100%
effective!!Good luck to you.Patty

Thanx for all of your replies! And I may
consider telling my parents, but I do
think that they would probably freak out.
But I will think about it since you put
in a way that I think they may understand.
I really appreciate it everyone! :d

Be careful, hon. And even if ur on b/c
pills, or patch, or shot.... Use a
condomn too. There r a lot of diseases
out there. And u can get some of them
even with a condomn, but its better to be
safe than sorry. Also remember the pill
u must remember to take every day. If
htis will be hard for u, try another
method. Good luck
