A friend of mine got pregnant, and it has scared the shit out of me. I totally don't want kids, and my friends experience has motivated me to get get sterilized. I've visited 4 doctors now, and they've all refused me this service because I'm young and don't have kids.
How do I find a doctor to tie my tubes?

>How do I find a doctor to tie my tubes?
You don't. If you don't want kids this bad, research your birth control options, and also use condoms just to be doubly sure.
Either go on birth control or remain abstinent.
Any actual advice on solving my problem, or do I just need to keep shopping around for a doctor willing to do it?

No doctor is just going to let you. They deal with nutjobs all the time and have protections so you don't aue them for buyer's remorse.
There isn't a doctor that's going to be willing to do this. Get an IUD instead. When you're in your late 20s or 30s try again if you still want to be sterilized.

The way you find a doctor who will do it is you wait a few years (or decades) until you're older and they're willing to do it. It is very common policy for doctors to refuse this procedure to younger women. It sucks if you are really sure about your decision, but that's how it goes. You'll have to prevent pregnancy with other options until then.
You could just not have sex.

Go out of the country for this. Don't let the overcautious western doctors deter your hopes.

Yeah, find some backally doctor with no caution at all to hack away at your insides instead! :^)

If you're seriously this hellbent on getting your tubes tied for non-medical reasons to the point where you refuse to use other birth control methods, then there's got to be something wrong in the head with you. No one gets this agitated when a) their friend gets pregnant and b) when they're told exactly the same thing a doctor would tell you when you ask for advice
