13 in most states. alot of dotors ask if you will let your parents know because their insurance will pay for it and they will see what it is. at age 13 you can get it from planned parent hood

I really don't think you need parental consent to get birth control. However, I do encourage you to talk to your mom or dad. If you call your local health department, they will be able to answer your questions about the age requirements.
-16/f

I was 14 when i started birth control and i went and talked to my family doctor about it.. he gave it to me.. now i would go see your family doctor because he knows you best. Now you dont have to worry about your mom finding out because what you talk to the doctor about he isnt able to tell your mom any of the information becus everything is confadential. But it is safer to be on it then off it... and ALWAYS use a condom..even if the guy doesnt want to tell him then you arent having sex with me! becarful of STDS.. i know im not your mom or anyone special to you but my friend learned the hard way and she has passed away because of an STD..

Depends on the birth control, and on the state you live in. Generally, obtaining any prescription medication requires your parents' consent until you turn 18, so there's a good guideline. Condoms are still available without a prescription, and in my humble opinion, any guy who won't wear a condom deserves a permanent case of blue balls.
Hope this helps.
