Can my mom force me to take a Pap smear?

Question

I have a slight risk of Ovarian cancer on my Dad's side of the family, so my mom wants me to go take a pap test, i guess. I'm almost 15- can she force me?

Answer 1

nope, she can't make you.  Learn the facts about cervical cancer and then make your own decision. I've decided never to screen because I am so low risk.  But you have to do what is right for you.

Its your body and you have every right to protect it how you see fit.  You are old enough that your mom cannot even force her way into the exam room, let alone force what procedures you have done.  As long as you do what you think is right then you can feel good about your decision.
