Your friend should be able to get birth control withour her father knowing about it. There is a law that is being considered but hasn't been voted in committee, known as the "Permit Notification to Treat Minors."\n\nSee if you can help your friend get to a local Planned Parenthood. She will be able to have other options available besides Depo Provera, such as different birth control pills, Nuva Ring, etc. They also have a sliding fee scale so if you can't afford it, that's what they provide the services for. They may even have a program for teens that lets them get their birth control free of charge. My friend is on this program and it pays for birth control as well as yearly pap smears and breast exams.

No, that's statutory rape. Legally, a minor is not old enough to consent.

Back before 1973 (Roe vs. Wade), states could legalize / not legalize aspects of abortion, and under what circumstances they could be performed. So for instance, here in Maryland, there were about 6,000 abortions performed in 1972, under review board process that considered aspects of each pregnancy.\n\nSince Roe v Wade, the 9 justices on the Supreme court 'discovered' it was a constitutional right guaranteed by the USA Founding Fathers, -to have an abortion. States therefore can not supersede this newly found constitutional 'right'.\n\nSo yes, abortion is legal in North Carolina, as it currently is in all 50 states.

It varies state to state.  Some places it is as low as 14 with parental consent.  You would have to check out what your state laws are.  Usually you can go to your state's website and find information on it.  Otherwise you might want to call something like a local unemployment office or even a temporary agency and ask them.  They should be able to tell you.

It depends on why you need a dr.  Most states allow minors to seek medical care without parents permission for abuse, venereal diseases, and pregnancy.

I think whoever got her pregnant would be in more trouble, dependant on their age. If the guy is over 18, then that could be classed as statutory rape. As far as being expelled from school, i dont think they can do that under grounds of discrimination, however, it all depends on school policy. If she is already showing and hasnt been expelled yet, chances are that they are not going to.

You can petition the court for emancipation at the age of 16 in NC.  This means that you can live on your own or determine your own guardian.  But it does require that you work through family court.  Your best bet is to see if there is an answer/question line - website for your county social services.\n\nYou can try the website listed below for a start.
