According to the NHS : Contraception services are free and confidential, including for people under 16 years old. This means the doctor or nurse won't tell your parents or anyone else, as long as they believe you're mature enough to understand the information and decisions involved.

I started the pill at 14, the doctor was very supportive and gave plenty of advice
