but then again you r way underage, so maybe they will, or maybe they will just refuse you.....
better then going on the pill y dont you just not have sex to your 16, and then get him to wear condom, its cheaper and less dangerous then swallowing drugs on a daily basis

When I was in high school, I went to Planned Parenthood to get on birth control. There was no way I could tell my uber-Catholic mother that I was having premarital sex and I didn't want to take any chances of my doctor or my health insurance company telling my mom that I was going to the gyno. Planned Parenthood made the birth control and the doctor visit affordable without my parent's insurance, and I knew that there was no way that my secret was getting out.
I'm in the US, but I googled Planned Parenthood and it looks like there are locations all over the world. Check out their website http://www.ippf.org/en/ It's a tremendous organization.
And I hate to beat a dead horse, but make sure you protect yourself against STDs and HIV. Wear a condom. And if you're ever thinking about not wearing a condom, which I don't recommend, but if you do, make sure he gets tested beforehand. He can go to Planned Parenthood too. My high school boyfriend actually came with me to Planned Parenthood and got tested before we had sex, plus we used condoms and birth control pills on top of that.
Props to you for being responsible. Let us know if you need anything else.

Well you definitely can over here, so now worries about that! But please, know what you're getting yourself into. No method of protection is 100% foolproof, so don't kid yourself. Please, don't just give into some guy.. Wait until you know you're in love, please.

I don't know how it is there, but I don't think that a child can even go to the doctor by theirself until they are 16 here in the US somebody let me know if this isn't true. If you are afraid of getting pregnant maybe you should consider condoms that are easy to get, andthere are also some foams that are over the counter that helps with preventing pregnancy. But my best advice to you would be to talk to your mom, and just tell her that you are interested in boys, and don't tell her you are having sex, but tell her that you are at that age where your hormones are active and you want to be protected just in case. Better safe than sorry is what my mom always said.

Hello,
no the doc can't tell your mum because of patient confidentiality unless your mum demands to see it. Maybe you should talk to your mum about it. You may find that she'll be really supportive. After all, she was young once and has probably gone through the same thing.
Good luck.xx.
