Please tell me if I'm wrong.

I would take ANYONE that asks me just so they are safe! They can get concoms and what not too just to be safe against disease as well! I would make it known that I am taking her so it's not a secret but I wouldn't think twice....

Ok.. as a parent I can say that no it isn't "your place" but I do think someone needs to take her especially since they are active already..

Maybe call her sister and have a convo about it? if they still refuse- well either way she needs it...

I mean I personally wouldnt want anyone taking my daughter, but thats because i would take her if she asks..

atleast she is being careful and knows the risks..
While you arent' her parent.. what you are doing is very kind and i think best for everyone since her family is so closed minded..

I don't understand how any parent would say no to birth control under the principle that they shouldn't be having sex, when the reason they object to them having sex is that they might get pregnant.

I'd help a friend of any age to get to planned parenthood or the health department because their health is more important than their parents' feelings of moral superiority.

TBH, I'd recommend telling her to use condoms instead, though that's based on the fact that a lot of teenagers have odd schedules and couldn't keep to a regular pill schedule. Still glad that you're promoting safe sex though

Going on birth control isn't a family issue. It's a personal decision, and clearly she's made her decision.

She didn't ask you for advice, she just needs you to help her carry out what she's already decided to do.

Good for her for being responsible and for you being willing to help her!

Tough one...I would say you shouldn't do that as it could cause problems with her family. If she is that close to 18, I would suggest that she wait until she is 18. That way she can be the one to legally consent and if she wants/needs someone to go with her...then you could help that way.

I dont think you should worry Nessa, this is her choice as a young adult to be having sex in the first place not her parents! Take it from who lost their virginity young, birth control is the best thing for her right now! she should be safe and not having to worry about when her next abortion is...no offence to anyone but i think if your sexually active you should be on birth control or using condoms..no matter your age or deposition! Honestly I think your doing a good thing

I use planned parenthood - they are professional and can scholarship your care based on income. I am lucky enough to say that protesters have never been there when I have gone in (for my yearly exam and BC). However, I have seen at my local locations and at others. They can be very intimidating!

It is the girls body and she is of age to make her own choice and she made it she is asking for help. so it is okay to take her. If you go to a doctor a child at a curtain age can talk to a doctor and that doctor has no obligation to tell the parents cant even. So take her.

I think this is a good point: "Stopping her from protecting herself is ignorant." I totally agree.
