Last Thursday I had sex for the first time. I wasn't thinking straight at all. I have been sexually assaulted before, and since last week I have been really upset even though this was consensual. I know I need to talk about this with my therapist but I don't know if I will if she has to tell my parents.
So my question is, if I tell my therapist that I lost my virginity will she have to tell my parents? I am a 15 yr old female and he had just turned 16 yrs old the week before. I am turning 16 yrs old in 3 weeks. The age of consent in my state is 16. I have known him for 2-3 yrs and we both had never had sex before. He wore a condom and it didn't break. I have an eating disorder and my period is irregular but I bought a pregnancy test anyway and I will do it in a few days just to see. I might go to Planned Parenthood and get STD test done just to be sure (I have horrible anxiety about this crap) We aren't a couple and honestly we hadn't even been talking except for the past 2 weeks. It just kinda happened. This is just some info if it may help answer the question. Because of my trauma I am having some stuff come up that I need to talk about but I CANNOT have my mother know about this. So does anybody know if my therapist would have to tell my mom if I talked to her about this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi kelsey, I honestly don't know if your therapist has to tell your parents because you are not yet 16 and this young man was 16 and should not have had sex with an underage female. However, this happens a lot as teens are sexually active at earlier ages now.
Maybe you can try looking it up by doing a search. |

I'm not sure about the law in your country. In mine, the age of consent is also 16 but, as long as the other person is within 2 years of your age, it is not illegal to have sex before the age of 16. That doesn't help you though, as I'm in another country and laws are likely to be different in your area.

In the US I don't believe she can tell your parents. The age is 14 for privacy. You should talk to her about it and let her know you want it private. good luck hun. I am glad you used protection!!I hope she helps you work through your feelings. Good luck
