you have to go to the doctors for most birth control yes you can buy condoms over the counter at 18 i believe if not younger.. but they dont always work my first born was concieved using a condom they can easily break and if you give them to the guy to take care of if they are wanting kids if they even so much as get a pin hole into a condom you can get pregnant still best thing you can do is go to the doctor get on birth control pills and if you are a teen and under 18 and need the parents to go to the doctor talk to them any parent would rather thier child be on birth control than to have thier child say mom / dad im pregnant

If you are talking about prescription birth control, a doctor, nurse practitioner or a physician assistant has to prescribe it here in the US.
There is no age limit. I've prescribed birth control to 13 year olds who are having very irregular menses.

Anyone can buy OTC birth control. If you want something more reliable you can make an appointment with your Dr and he can put you on it. He can not tell your parents regardless of your age because of Federal HIPPA laws. Unless you are not in the US that is how it works here.

you ususally dont need to be a certain age, but you do have to be at least 18 to get a prescription from your doctor. But you can also go with your parent to the doctor to comfirm that you can take birth control before you are 18

UK you can get birth control pills from the age of 13 providing your mom takes you to the docs.

birth control pills? as far as i know birth control pills have to be prescribed by your doctor, you just don't buy it over the counter. But you can buy condoms and spermicides over the counter at any age i believe.

First you have to have a prescription. Try this, tell your mom you want to go to the dermatologist for your acne. 9 times out of 10 they will give you a prescription for the pill to "help" you clear up your face. Good luck.
