Condoms and withdrawal are methods that can be used without parental knowledge. Teens generally do not want their parents to be aware of their sexual activity. Prescriptions are required for birth control pills, diaphragms, and cervical caps. Also, parental travel to both obtain the prescriptions and get them filled at a pharmacy will often be required. Abstinence-only education is limited in preventing pregnancy.
