I would suggest that you speak with you doctor about obtaining BC. Many doctors will allow minor patients to be prescribed BC without parental consent. However, many doctors including myself, feel that having the support and consent of your parents is very important. If you are unable to get BC without your parents, and you feel that it would not be advantageous for you to tell them, I would suggest the use of other Birth Control methods. Take care.
The answer depends upon in which state the child is a resident. Some states provide that the school nurse or a local planned parenthood, pro-choice, or abortion clinic can give contraception information and supplies to children. Other states require that the person be of a certain age, 12 or 14 or 16 or even 18. Some states require parental consent for any assistance given which pertains to birth control (pregnancy prevention). It is a good idea to Google for "Contraception State Laws" and look at the state laws. Generally, most states do not permit children to receive any kind of non-parental consent medical treatment or assistance including contraception. The definition of who is a "child" varies from state to state, depending upon the Age of Minority and Age of Majority (legal terms for "when a person becomes an adult".
