Do i need parent or guardian to buy birth control?

Here in NYS, a girl can obtain bc without parental consent. Many young ladies go to Planned Parenthood where a team of trained professionals are there to help you. You can get an examination, blood work, STD workups, pregnancy tests, birth control, free condoms, and abortions. There are also licensed councelors to help with any emotional upset you may have, or if you just want to talk to someone.
I will not get into the "whys" of you not wanting to talk to your mom, it's cool if that is your decision. But just a little 411, us mom's aren't all that hard to talk to and many times we expect our daughters to come to us with something pertaining to sex and growing up, but you know your mom, we don't.
It is very mature of you to want to be safe, your mom/dad have obviously done something right.

Feel free to come here and talk. If you look around the site you will see that we are all pretty cool folks and we are here to offer advice or sometimes just a shoulder for someone to lean on.

You probably will need a prescription to buy the pills if you live in the United States. Talk to your school nurse to see if you can get one from her. You probably are too young to buy Plan B over the counter. However, you can legally buy condoms and spermicidal gels over the counter. When used together, condom and spermicide provide the best protection against both pregnancy and STDs.

Dear I loveyu! I wanted to add my 2 cents as I read your post earlier on! I am a mother of a 14 year old and 17 year old boys. The thought of either of them having sex - ESPECIALLY my 14 year old blows my mind. I am not old school by any means, I've always been VERY open with my boys about sex and responsibility etc. I applaud you for wanting to be protected from becoming pregnant, but I always look at what people AREN'T doing!!! I watch people constantly, I listen in on stories and can usually fathom people out pretty quickly. So I think that the reason why you don't want to tell you mom is probably because you know she wouldn't be too happy about it, and would want to know EVERYTHING about who your are seeing and not trust you!

I have to say - as I once was also a teenage girl with raging hormones - that I do understand your inquiry into having sex! As someone that regrets that decision to this day 31 years later!!!! I want you to REALLY REALLY think about the ramifications of being SO young and loosing your virginity. I understand it all hon! Honestly, i know that you are probably in love, I know that you feel the need to do what you "think" everyone else is doing, I know that you feel that if you do it - you will become popular with the guys et. etc. BUT I will tell you what my boys say about young girls who have lost there virginity early - actually I wont tell you it's bad!!!!

My eldest son, looks like a model! And it's not just a proud mom saying that. He IS GORGEOUS!! And there are MANY MANY girls who have posted UNREAL pictures on Facebook to him, I have seen the pictures they send him and the texts they send him and I am like this o.O o.O :$ :-S And you know what hon? He doesn't give them a second look! He thinks of them as lesser human beings. As a young girl myself, I say to him "You don't have a clue why or how they have ended up being so "loose" and it is not your job to decide what they are or aren't" My sons are virgins, and I have taught them as much as I can about respecting their and ESPECIALLY the girls rights and bodies AND feelings.

Unfortunatley hon, the same can't be said for a lot of young guys these days!!! I know you have heard the phrase "Friends with benefits!"? When I heard that out of my sons and his friends mouths I was disgusted. I talked to the girls - that I've known since kindergarten, about NOT doing that to themselves. They just felt that this would be the only way of getting a boyfriend or dates etc. BUT the things that were said about them or the things I've heard about them through my sons friends, brings me to tears!! I know you know about the bracelets etc. That's NOT a badge of honor hon, that's a badge of how low you will go!!! My sons friends have had BJ's by the same girls they think are something on the bottom of their shoes!!! And I am furious!!!!! I told off my sons best friend who I head had one of these "encounters" you know what he said to me? "Well if she's going to do it, I'd be crazy to pass it up!!!!!" I replied "well are you going to see her again ,,,," he said "GOD NO! She's a Sk..nk!!!!" I was and am disgusted. And I want to say to you and all the other girls that are thinking of crossing the line, that you can't go back on, is to wait it out! Respect your bodies and your futures, I promise you hon, not EVERYONE is doing it. They are just saying they are.

This has been going on since the beginning of teenagedom!!! I remember being your age, and I was more "developed" than most. So when I went out on a date, the guys would tell their friends that we "DID IT!!" Which of course we NEVER did! But EVERYONE thought we did!! And I didn't want anyone to know the horrifying fact that I was a virgin at 14!!!!!! Even though everyone else was, they just pretended like I did. I used to read Cosmopolitan, just so I could talk the talk! I hadn't a clue what the heck the magazine was talking about!!! ;-) 8-| :$ XD o.O

So All I can say to you hon is this. you are 14 you have the rest of your life ahead of you. Do you want to be known as the girl that went to college etc etc. OR the girl that had sex at 14? I appreciate your position - more than most! But I want you = ESPECIALLY - at this age, to really be proud of yourself and know that this is YOUR body! And YOUR future, and NO ONE has the right to make you do or feel anything less!!! OK? Virginity can NEVER be rewrapped, it is the ultimate gift! So wait till your older and in love and that person loves you - not just saying it to get some!!! You will THANK yourself for it I PROMISE you I PROMISE you! Because IF someone makes you feel like dirt and you start feeling like dirt. You WILL never get clean!!! So think about everything, talk to your mom if you can. IF not talk to us - NON judgemental folks on here, like me!!! ;-) XD - and take your time OK? And IF and only IF you decide to continue down this path, know there is help out there and you ALWAYS make your boyfriend or partner wear a condom! Even if you are on BCP! Because STD's are on the rise in a HUGE way!!! Good luck hon, and we are always on here if you want to talk or get some advice. And NO question is a stupid question OK?

The school nurse can not, no way, issue a script for birth control. Planned Parenthood does it all, and in some cases, will the fill the script on site.

I started going on the pill when I was 15 years old. My mum knew I was doing this though and I am from the UK. I have got a friend who went on the pill when she was 15 and didn't want her mum knowing about it so she'd go on her own. I guess it depends on where you're from! It's worth a try if you don't want your parents knowing.

What is you're website??

this was real helpful and inspiring. most teens need the point of view of somebody who's been there and also by adding the comments of your son and his friend also had an impact. It's giving advice without be judgemental and understanding and you just let it flowed, without all the um's...and questions. Couldn't have explained it better and this is coming from a 21 year old.

In what states can a young teenage girl buy a pill without parent consent?
