I think if the teenager is mature and responsible enough to bring up this topic and put themselves in that situation then they should be able to make that decision on their own. As long as they are informed and are of clear mind, I don't see why not.

Yes. If someone is sexually active and feeling that he or she may be at risk of exposure, they should be able to get medicine to protect them and the rest of the community regardless of whether or not a parent approves or not.

Who asks their parents if they can have sex anyway? How many people discussed losing their virginity with their parents right after it happened? How many of you waited until years and years later?

Something to think about anyway...

My daughter is 25 yrs old. And we've always talked about any and everything. Don't get me wrong she wasnt an angel..lol. Once she became an adult she told me some things that made me say oh really! When it came to sex, of course i talked about abstinence, diseases, babies, birth control. I told her if she couldnt wait to come to me and i would make sure was protected. Protected not just from getting pregnant but she needed to know that there was diseases out there that could kill her and didnt have cures for. Im the ONLY woman in my family that put my daughter on birth control when she began her cycle at the age of 13. They said she would be pregnant before she was 15. Instead of putting her on birth control and basically saying go forth and sex because you won't get a baby, i taught her this motto and she had to repeat it before she went anywhere: FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE'S A REACTION AND CONSEQUENCE! CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD CHANGE MY LIFE OR TAKE MY LIFE! No doctor told her that.

There has to be serious discussions that would have to include a patent or guardian. A Dr doesn't have a choice, and a teenager probably wouldn't be able to get the meds without a patent and someone would have to make sure the teenager actually took the meds.

Sorry but i didnt finish my answer. In my opinion, no doctor, teacher or any adult should start procedure that involves your child's health without parental consent. They are the parent anything that happens to the child the parent will be responsible for. Establish good communication with your child as early as possible. Maybe then you won't have to worry about anyone setting up procedures without your consent. Oh and FYI, my daughter wasnt an angel she's like any other child. She was just confident to know she could come to me if needed. I went with her at the age of 23 to get birth control. She told me the day afterwards that she was no longer a virgin. She told me when she became pregnant at 24 with the father that she was making wedding plans with. I have a grandson and i hopefully will be escorted in at her wedding in August as the mother of the bride. Not bragging just happy that my daughter's life was nothing like mine because of the relationship we had from birth! All praises go to God!
