Niece wants birth control without her parents knowing, thoughts?

my neice has always trusted me with her problems, she doesnt feel comfortable going to her father about them. I’ve always listened and answered but now I dont know what to say.

she wants birth control, but doesnt want her father knowing. she wants to know if theres a way for her to get the birth control without him finding out. or at least, without needing his permission..

now before you call me a bad aunt let me just say, that her father will find out, she knows that because I will tell him if she doesnt. but she would like it asap, and he currently has his own issues, and she doesnt want to come to him about this while he is stressed.

any advice?

Answer #1

she knows that I would tell her father if she doesnt. so im not worried about losing her trust. thank you though :]

Answer #2

I would rather have a sexually active young person on birth control than not. I agree with Ty, she should use a condom to prevent STDs. I would do the same in your shoes. :)

Answer #3

Look up planned parenthood, she could go there (depending on how old she was) and talk to them. I would encourage her to use a condom regardless, EVERYTIME… she could still catch an STD

Answer #4

Your not at all being a bad Aunt - but if you tell her dad she would trust you anymore and that may hurt her. Anyways there are womens clinics and there is probley one locally if you look it up - or she could make an appointment with her doctor, it is illegal for the doctor to tell her dad that shes on birth control.

Answer #5

teens can get it by just going 2 there doc it,s free and confidential

Answer #6

I know how your neice may feel. I am also 15 and have recently went to my aunt to get me birth control without my mom knowing. She and I have done the research and you can go to planned parenthood online to find a center near you. It is completely confidential and very safe. The price of the contraceptio varries depending on the center and what kind of birth control you are on. Anyways, I would strongly recommend not telling her father. She could lose trust in you and that would not be good.

Answer #7

my neice is 15 :]
