how can i get on birth control without parental consent?!
Question: well, i'm 14 and i am sexually active. and i really don't want my parents to know wbout this. me and my boyfriend are always sure to be safe about having sex, and he thinks i should go on birth control. i don't know who to ask about getting on the pill. and i can't drive, so if i had a perscription, how would i get it? and does it cost any money? i have no idea about this at all. so any information would be helpful. or is there any non perscription birth control i could get ect. i don't know. and please do not preach to me about religious stuff. because i really don't care about it.
Answers:
your parents are pretty much gonna have to know. a dr cannot give you birth control with out your parents consent if you are under age

I believe docters aren't allowed to tell people about it if you don't want them too, so you can get a perscription for the pill. can you go by bus or ask someone you trust to drive you? it does cost money but not much. I'm not sure how much over there though.
speak with your school's health center, ask the same questions .
go to your city's Planned Parenthood
There is a no =prescription birth control you can get - it is called the condom.
Go to your city's planned parenthood or health department. If you can get their atleast once and tell them your situation (not having a ride) then they will probably hook you up with a supply..atleast 3 to 6 months...oh yeah, and it should be free!
If you feel you are ready for an active relationship then that's up to you. I don't know where you are writing from but in England doctors are bound to a confidentiality, so you could speak to your GP contraception is free and again the type you get depends on a health check from your GP not all pills suit everyone. Either way I think ( and you may not be interested) that maybe you should talk to you mum as you have shown initiative in using condoms then maybe she would not hit the roof as much as you expect maybe she might feel good that you have been able to talk to her. Anyway keep using condoms aswell as the pill as it will help protect from any of the nasty stuff that goes about. Your doctor will give you a prescription that you take to the chemist the chemist have to be discreet aswell. The Brooke advisory center will have leaflets ect and they have free condoms but you should be supported by your mum or maybe your boyfriends mum. I can't condone what your doing but if you require advice that stops unwanted pregnancy then so be it but also ask your self is your fella wanting you to go on the pill because its easier for him and if something goes wrong or you forget to take it will he blame you or will you look at it that contraception is a 50/50 responsibility.
The laws for parental notification depend on where you are. The people who would know what the laws are would be your local Planned Parenting or Family Guidance Centre. They may also be able to help you out about supplies. You may also want to talk to a doctor depending on confidentiality
You also need to speak with your boyfriend about continuing to share responsibility. With any form of contraception, there is a small chance of failure so it is best if you have more than one.
