    Question

    I'im 16 and I live in Florida. My mom wants to take me to the gynecologist to find out if I'm a virgin or not. I just want to know if she can tell my mom even if I ask her not to because I understand the law refering to this changes depending in the state an your age. Thanks

    Answer

    Please call the doctor's office and ask. They will tell you! Good luck and I am sorry!
