I want to have sex with my boyfriend. Because he already had some girlfriends I want to use condoms. But I also want to take the pill. My mother thinks I’m too young. But I want it because I don’t want to become pregnant. Can I get the pill without my parents knowing it?

It’s very good that you think about it beforehand. With ‘Double Dutch’ you are very well protected, both against pregnancy and STD’s. In the Netherlands the doctor has an oath of secrecy, which means that he/she won’t talk about you with your parents without your permission. So you don’t have to be afraid that your parents will be informed. But ask the doctor’s assistant beforehand how your visit is paid for, to make sure that the (copy of) the bill will not betray you.
