my daughter 17 has a friend that is 16 and is sexually active.. she came home with a hickey on her neck and the solution was to take her phone away and ground her.... She needs to be on birth control. she is in a relationship that i don't think will be going away any time soon.... CAN SHE GET BIRTH CONTROL IN THE STATE OF GA WITHOUT HER PARENT KNOWING....? i don't want to get involved in this but i don't want her having a baby her senior year of high school either////

I completely agree with you. Punishing her is not going to solve the problem, and he parents really should address it rather than ignore or punish it.

Teens can get birth control at Family Planning or Planned Parenthood without the parents being involved or finding out. I believe that applies to all states, but you could call or email a clinic near you for more information, or give her or your daughter the information so that they can call.

No parents consent is needed.

Planned parenthood tends to offer free and extra low cost services for teens, sot hat is a good idea =)
