Go to www.plannedparenthood.org and find a clinic close to you. You can get brith control there at reduced prices or possibly for free in some areas. It is completely confidential so your parents won't know. Just call and make an appointment. They will explain your options for different types of birth control and different types of pills and explain how to use them, side effects, etc. I went to Planned Parenthood when I was underage to get birth control and they were very helpful and nice. I would highly recommend them.
You can go to your regular doctor and talk to them. There are confidentiality laws. Your parents can not be told. Although if you are using there insurance they may question you when seeing statements etc. You can go to Planned Parenthood and get the pill at a good price. They are very friendly and helpful. Just call and make an appointment. They will also answer any questions over the phone.
There should be a planned parenthood or women's health center in your town. They are usually free or lost cost and depending on your age your parents would not have to know, its either 14 or 16. But condoms are your best bet, you can get them in gas stations and they will protect you against disease and pregnancy. Just be careful
Check out www.plannedparenthood.org or search "family planning clinics" for a clinic in your area. Make sure to get condoms from them too because the BC won't protect you from STD's and HIV.
Planned parenthood gives free birth control pills to minors under 18. They don't use your insurance and they are REALLY good at keeping secrets, as long as you let them know it is one.
If you go through your regular doctor, your parents will find out through the insurance company. They won't know about the pills, but they will find out about the examination. If you go through them, you'd have to pay the full price of the exam or risk being caught.
Anyone over 14 can go to their physician and get birth control without their parents being notified. The law states that when an adolescent sees their physician about matters of sexual health, the parents cannot be notified if the adolescent requests it. However, I would urge you to talk to your mom or dad about the fact that you are sexually active. They may be shocked to learn that you are having sex, but they may also be more supportive than you could ever imagine. You also don't want them to learn that you are sexually active from someone else or through the grape vine; no matter how poorly they take it, it will be better received if it comes from you than if they find out on "My Space." As the parent of a 14 year old, I can tell you that I know teens are doing it (they did when I was a teen, too), she may start doing it, and even though I want her to wait until she is married, I want to be there for her if she does. Something for you to think about.
