Do you want to get a method of birth control to help protect you and your partner from an unplanned pregnancy?
Clinics have lots of different birth control methods. They can give you the information you need to choose which one is best for you. You don’t need anyone’s permission including your parents or guardians to get a method at a clinic. Your visit to the clinic will be confidential which means that the people at the clinic won’t tell anyone you were there unless you say it’s okay. But if you say that you’re hurting yourself, you’re hurting someone else or someone is hurting you, a doctor may have to talk to someone to make sure you get the help you need.
Remember- the only method of birth control that also helps to protect against STDs are the male and female condoms. You can get condoms without anyone’s permission from grocery stores, corner stores, and pharmacies. There’s no age limit for buying condoms- anyone can buy them.
