If you're not mature enough to obtain birth control, you're not mature enough to be having sex.
Your doctor can't tell your parents what you're on, as it would be a breach of patient-doctor confidentiality, so if that's what you're worried about, you're okay there. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

If you want, you could tell your parents the reason you're taking the birth control is because you have an irregular period, and they'd never have to know the truth until you were ready to tell them.

But, you should tell your doctor it is because you are, or want to be, sexually active. It is a HUGE thing to make sure you don't lie or keep anything from your doctor. You doctor can't legally tell your parents why you are being put on it, so don't worry about your doctor ratting you out for having sex. It is important to tell your doctor you are having sex because sex involes a whole lot more with your body and they need to make sure that you are okay. Trust me, i've been there before, just be honest.
