Renae is a 16-year-old high school sophomore who was participating in therapy for long-standing problems with depression. During one session, Renae tells her therapist that her parents are leaving for an overnight trip that weekend and she intends to have sex with her boyfriend while they are gone. She explains that this decision is “huge” because she has never had sex with anyone before.

Renae’s therapist asks questions about Renae’s sexual health and access to birth control. She also wants to know if Renae is experiencing any pressure to initiate a sexual relationship. Should Renae’s decision to have sex remain confidential, between Renae and her therapist, or do her parents have a right to know her plans?
