service where minors can get a checkup etc w/o guardians?
Question Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 4:58 pm
My friend, who lacks a computer, has turned to me for advice. She is an underage smoker (I disapprove too, but keep reading) who has been having sinus problems and illnesses. She wants to go to a doctor and be honest about her smoking because it may be related to her problems. However, her parents don't know she smokes and she would like to avoid them finding out. Are there any services in the Northern California (around San Francisco) Bay Area that she could get to? I heard about these last year, but they only said checkups for STDs etc. Thank you.
Additional info, added Tuesday January 23 2007, 9:12 pm: Also: She's very limited in where she can get information. Her parents are paranoid- it's strange she's been able to smoke in the first damned place. I am only able to contact her at school because she's been grounded for grades.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
