Family Planning Plus

I am assuming that you are a minor (under the age of 18). Doctors in private practices can choose to inform parents about their children’s sexual behavior.  Some doctors choose to maintain confidentiality with their young patients and some choose to inform their parents. It is totally up to the medical provider. According to the Guttmacher Institute, only some minors are granted the right to consent (without a parent’s consent) to contraceptive (birth control) services in Michigan. These minors include those who have a health issue, or those who are married, pregnant, or deemed to be mature.
