I am 16 and would like to get on the pill without my parents knowing. If I come to clinic will I be able to get it without parental consent?

Yes, if you make an appointment at one of our offices, your visit would be confidential (i.e., we would not inform your parents of your visit). We will encourage you to eventually discuss your decision to use birth control with your parents, but we certainly can’t force you to do so.

If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you and ask them if their services are confidential. Most likely they will be confidential. If they receive Title X government funds (as we do), they must provide free and confidential services to anyone under the age of 18.
