Can a 14 year old get on birth control without consent from her legal guardian instead a close family member? I am the sister in law for this 14 yr. old teen.  She only confides in me when she talks about her personal life and her feelings.  Her mother is an alcoholic and is not supportive and does not have her priorities straight.  She does not know that her daughter is sexually active and to be honest probably wouldn't care however the daughter does not have a close relationship with her mother. She's closest to me than anybody else.  This child knows who her dad is but has not seen or heard from him in about seven years. She does have a father figure in her life but, surely he's not someone she wants to be there either. Child came to me and said she wanted to get on birth control cause she didn't want to have any accidents. She wants me to take her. She has goals in life and is a straight A student.  I don't know if I should talk to her mother (since she's always drunk) or stay out of it. Can a 14 year old get on birth control without consent from her "legal" guardia
