Anna is a 14-year old girl who presents to her GP worried that she may be pregnant. She started her periods at the age of 11 and they had beenregular but she has now missed two and has been suffering from nausea most mornings. she met a 19year old man called Ryan at a party 6 months ago and they have been seeing each other since, mainly at his flat which he shares with three other people, but occasionally at her house when her parent are at work.
Ryan is not her first sexual partner and she has always relied on condoms as she is worried that the contraceptive pill will make her put on weight. Anna has not told her family about Ryan knowing that they will disapprove.Anna is adamant that she does not want the baby and is equally adamant that she does not want to involve her parents or Ryan in any decision about termination. None of them knows she is seeing the GP.
