If it is on display and there is no sign saying you need to be a certain age or that you must speak to the pharmacist when purchasing, then I think it is safe for you to purchase.
One thing you could do for your own privacy is if they are sold in your supermarket and the supermarket has a self checkout line. Make the purchase of the test kit at the supermarket and use the self checkout line. This way there should be no one to question or embarrass you.

Unless you want to wait and see if you have your period. But I wouldn't rely on that because there are tons of reasons why you're period could be late other than the fact that you could be pregnant.
So you should just go to the store and take a couple of the tests. Your parents won't have to find out about the tests so you'd be fine in that area. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

The only free home test is if you don't have your period. It isn't real reliable because stressing about it can cause you not to have your period. If you miss more than one its probably a sure thing you are.
Did he use a condom? If he did the chances go down a lot. From here on out if he doesn't have a condom, don't have sex with him. If he can't afford a condom, he can't afford you and a baby.

You could confide in them NOT to say anything unless you are pregnant and to help if you are in telling your folks. This adult and your friend could buy the proper tests and you could find out in the bathroom. Parents wouldn't know unless you were in fact pregnant. Try that. You could also buy a test and do it at school and toss it but you should involve an adult confidant in my opinion.
