When I was 16 I went to the doctors for the first time without my mum for the contraceptive pill. The doctor told me they were running an STI screening and whether I would like to get checked. At this point I had been with my boyfriend for just less than a year and we had only started having sex the month before. I informed her of this and she just raised her eyebrow and mmhmmed at me. Made me feel like I had to justify myself to her and with only being 16 thought it was quite inappropriate.
