She could very easily go to planned parenthood to get them without your consent. Many young girls in my area do that. I know because I work in the same office building as planned parenthood.

How does this transaction take place? How often do they have to go to PP? How do they get there? Who pays for it?
 
It’s federally funded.
How do teens get there? Friends.
In my area planned parenthood has Family Nurse Practioners working for them. I live in a rural area.
All the teens have to do is go and get a pap smear once a year.
Makes sex easy, doesn’t it?
Very sad.
 
Do a search.
In my area, family planning is integrated with our community action programs. Not sure if it is the same everywhere.

When I was a teen, I found out where everyone was getting their birthcontrol for free. My parents didn’t have a clue! I felt like I couldn’t talk to them because premarital sex was wrong, case closed! As a teen, my hormones were raging, and I thought my parents were living in the dark ages. Everyone was doing it. How can it be wrong? My parents were so right, if only I would have seen it that way back then.

If I could do things over again, I would choose differently. I know God forgives me. I have a hard time forgiving myself.
 
A 16 y/o asking for the pill because she doesn’t want to “deal with the inconvenience”??? Hmmm…something just isn’t right here. And I for one would question her further. How many 16 y/o do you know who DON’T think about sex?

Is this type of birth control okay since the type of birth control she wants to be put on is not killing human life it’s ust not allowing human life, which shouldn’t be allowed until your married anyway?

Depo Provera is a PROGESTIN only contraceptive, which means in contains no estrogen. Depo does suppress ovulation, but like the pill it also thickens the cervical mucus and alters the lining of the uterus. depoprovera.com/index2.asp?story=1

In 2004, “the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced… that a “black box” warning, highlighting prolonged use may result in the loss of bone density, will be added to the labeling of Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection, an established injectable drug approved for use in women to prevent pregnancy”.

As for how teens get contraceptives, the posters are correct re: family planning clincis. I worked in a Title X agency and parental consent is not required to receive services. I am happy to try to answer any questions you may have based on experience inside the family planning clinis system.
