Yes Bc Under 18
First off if you have a local health dept. Or clinic you can get into family planning thru them. They are there to protect you! Patient confindentiaaly is top priority,believe me I took my 15 year old to ours and yet she didnt get on b.C. Cause it was her choice and wasnt sexually active yet. I had nothing to say about it. But I agreed,because she comes to me about these things.

How ever I was 15 when I had her and I am still with the father we are married and have 4 beautiful girls and are happy. But you need to be on b.C. So you do not end up with unwanted pregnancy and /or a single mother. Please take caution some boys are not meant to be young fathers.
Hope this helps! :d

Well, i'm 16 and I just called up the local planned parenthood and had to have my exam there and all that. They're very confidential and if they can't even identify themselves as pp when they call they say they are a prediscussed name and ask for you. My parents are very religious and would literally disown my as well as never allow me to see my boyfriend again so I need the confidentiality.

Same thing here, i'm 17, and I went into planned parenthood and got put on the pill. At planned parenthood, especially, the people are extremely kind and understanding. Tell em about the confidentiality thing and they completely understand. My parents would take me and my boyfriend out back and shoot us if they knew we're active!
