Hey I am 16 and me and my bf have been going out for a long time. I am thinking about getting birth control pills but I dont want to tell my mom. Is there some doctor I can talk to with out having to have my mom there.

If you go to your GP and can get a bus there or get a lift from a friend, your doctor cannot break doctor/patient confidentiality once you are over the age of 12. As long as you go alone, there's no need to worry word will get back to your Mum.

Im 15 years old and when i was 14 i got put on birth control because my mom and dad said i was "hitting that age" but there not that bad. Go to a OBGYN they might could see you without you're mom. Or either call you're original doctor and ask them if they could do it and tell them u dont want you're mom to know. They are not supposed to tell. Good Luck!!

You can go to any OBGYN doctor without having to have your mom there. The doctors have a law they must abide by it's called Patient privacy privelge act. which means if they told they could get in a lot of trouble. You could try your local health department. They have it to where you dont have to pay anything as long as your under the age of 18 and your parents never have to know.

Next time you go to the doctor, you can tell them that you want to start birth control. If you tell them not to tell your mother they are sworn to secrecy and can't say a word to her.

The problem is this. In order to get on birth control pills you have to have a pelvic exam.
They are not real cheap. If your mom has insurance it may pay for it, but, she would find out.
Your local health department or planned parenthood may do it for little or no cost. That's the place to start. :)
