If you want , refer to my second to last question. I highly doubt that I have an STD, but I think I might have something wrong with me down there such as an infection, and I'm scared that it could even be a cyst or a pre-cancerous thing or something. I want to see a doctor, but I'm only 17 (although soon to be 18), and I have no insurance/money besides my parents', and I don't want them to know about it. So how can I see a doctor? This is very important.

Your medical history is private. Make a doctor's appointment and go. Your parents don't have to know if you know your insurance information, which you should. Although you should be able to talk to your parents, if not maybe a school counselor could help you find someone or is there a local health clinic?

Find a free clinic. Better yet, tell your parents something is physcially wrong with you, and you need to see a doctor. I know if something was wrong with one of my children, I would want to know about it. There are also privacy laws that even though you're a minor, the doctor cannot share certain information about your health with your parents. But your parents care about you very much, so you need to be honest with them. They have more experience in dealing with things than you do, they can help you. Good luck.
