Can i go in the doctors office by myself while i talk to them about getting birth control? my mom is taking me but i don’t want her in the room. i want her to wait in the waiting room.... i’m 16.

Question

Answer

it’s against the law for a doctor to tell your parents anything you don’t want them knowing and she does not have to be in the room

Answer

You don't need her in the room and if you're worried you could just tell her "I think I'm getting old enough now that I should start seeing the doctor by myself."

Answer

I know at my kids doctors when they reach a certain age I don’t have to be in the room but I still have to sign for shots medicine etc if the are under 18. I think it’s best just to sit down and have a talk with your parents. Some parents can surprise you with how supportive they can be.
