birth control at 16?

Question

what can i do if i don’t wanna talk to my dad about going on it? i went to the doctors but they didn’t ask and kept involving my dad in the conversation so is there a way i can get it on my own without anyone knowing? and doesn’t it have to be prescribed specifically for you? i am sexually active and i just would feel better to be on it.

Answer

Sexual health clinic in your area or see your school nurse for options, both completely confidential x

Answer

I think you have to be 18 to get birth control without a parent’s permission. Do some research on that. Otherwise, I think you should talk to your dad and tell him what’s going on and just have a calm conversation about it. I’m sure he’s not ready to be a grandpa to your baby. And I think it shows a lot of maturity. If it ends up not working out, PLEASE use condoms! Good luck!
