your answers are all confidential. Be honest with the dr. S/he will probably be able to tell once s/he does the exam anyway.

The doctor WILL ask if you are sexually active. It's very important that you tell him/her the truth. Don't worry though. Everything you talk about will be confidential.

Everything is confidential. S/He is not allowed to discuss your appointment with your legal guardian. Unless there was something medically wrong with you that needed further care.

be honest. it will all remain confidential. i go to the same doctor that my mom goes to. (and my dr and my mom are very good friends). i know for a fact that she hasn't told my mom anything at all. not to mention, the doctor will be able to tell as soon as she does the examine. it's nothing to worry about. it's better to be honest, especially when dealing with medical issues and such :)

no, they have to get permission from you to tell your parents. don't worry, it's completely confidential doctor-patient information. but yes, the doc will ask, and check.

It will be confidential. You ca neven get birth control without your parent being told.
