  • Visiting your doctor is a vital part in staying healthy. As you get older, especially during #puberty, you may notice that your doctor starts asking you questions directly, instead of asking your parent or guardian. Watch our new video to learn more about doctor confidentiality!

    Also, Doctor Confidentiality means in legal terms that when you ask a doctor about something like harming your self or something embarrassing that something you told your doctor cant be used in court and its illegal to tell it to anyone what you said in there

      I am not currently a lawyer, and I am not your lawyer, my comment is not legal advice nor intended to. I am pretty sure that there are some laws that obligate a doctor or other people you might be having confidential conversations to let someone know in cases where a patient discloses that they are, have, or are planning to harm themselves or others, or if someone is harming them.

      Well me too. I pretty much hvae a phobia of going there just for a checkup once or twice a year. If you would have asked me when i was 12, i wouldve said id go once every decade. And then my mom used a trick on me to get me to visit my first gynecologist. She said were going to visit grandma so i was exited but when her car stopped at the docs door,i swear i almost died. I went pale,started sweating uncontrollably and i was crying like the world was gonna end. For me,going to a gynocologist was worse than death. So i just paniced. She dragged me inside, and tried to comfort me when we sat down in the waiting room. I stopped crying, but my face was so scared people probably thought id seen a ghost. I stared at the clock on the wall,watching time go bye until my last minute before i was called into the doctors room. "This is it"i thought. I said my prayers, whispered my last words, and we went inside. We sat down, and the moment my butt hit the seat,my panic was back. Ive never been so shocked by a person i dont know knowing my name, age, where i live, my birth place, when i was last vaccinated,and how tall i am. She sent my mom outside, which freaked me out even more because if i dont have my teddy bear or my mom, my mental support isnt there. So the doc sat down infront of me,turned around and asked me how i am. "G-good" no, i mean, any problems? "N-o , im doing fine." Lets have a look then. Could you please lift up your skirt and remove your panties? I froze . Then everything went black and i wake up in the hospital. W-wheres the doc? "Right here. "Says one of the docs in the hospital. "A sec ago i was still in the other office....wheres my mom? " shes outside. Ill call her in. I passed out. I passed out from shock and all the fear i had from this innocent human being trying to help me with my health.
      And thats why , kids, you should be confindent while going there. They wont do anything bad. Theyre just trying to help. Its okay to be scared, just- dont pass out, okay? ;)

      If it helps, remember doctors have done many years of training and seen lots of people's butts (and genitals, and bodies in general) so don't worry, they won't be surprised or grossed out or fazed by your medical issues; they've seen it all before!

      Hi, there! This sounds like a very tough situation, and to be honest, it doesn't come with any easy answers. You do still have the right to request confidentiality with your doctor; however, unfortunately, there are still certain things (like the choice to begin hormones) that do require parental consent. If you trust your doctor, perhaps you can ask them for advice on how to approach the conversation with your grandma. Sorry we don't have a better answer for you; in the meantime, please stay encouraged!

    But what about when your doctor is a 68 year old woman who talks too much...
    I would love to ask my doctor some questions and talk to them more about what’s going on in my life (such as how my parents don’t believe I have anxiety disorder). But I don’t feel comfortable talking to her about that type of stuff. She’s very straight forward. One time she kept going on and on about how bad global warming is and I started crying. She then said “Oh sweetie!! I forgot you were so FragiLe!” I was SCARED about global warming and that’s what she says? Also, when I came out to her a month ago she said “well how do you know?”. I didn’t know what to say to that. I just really don’t trust her with anything. Does anybody know any ways I could possibly ask for a new doctor?!?

      Hey, there! Your concern is valid; not every doctor is comfortable with working with trans or gender non-conforming children, and some can be downright hostile! Do you have a supportive adult in your life you can raise your concerns with? If you can reach out to a parent or other relative--or even a teacher you trust--there might be someone who can help you find a doctor that you do feel comfortable with. In any case, have faith--the support you need is out there!

      Hey, there! This is such a popular question! The truth is that there's no one way to know for sure what age is best to begin having sex. What's more important than age is determining what you would need to know that having sex now is the right decision. Do you feel safe with the person you want to have sex with? Does it matter to you if the encounter turns into a relationship, or if they go and tell everyone once you're done? Are you equipped to protect yourself from an unexpected pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections? There's many questions you might want to answer beforehand; before making the decision, considering reaching out to your parents or another trusted adult who can help you think it through.
