They should receive more information about the emotional responsibility and personal commitment sex brings. It's not just doing it safely for the sake of not transmitting diseases and preventing undesirable pregnancies, it's about having the conversation of the why and how sexual encounters do much more than release desires and pleasure. What's not being talked about ENOUGH is the emotional and spiritual impact sex brings to each person. It is the most personal act one can consume and it's been reduced to a sort of "mutual masturbation". Sex is amazing and having access to STI and unplanned pregnancy prevention is paramount but please add more mental health awareness into the mix.
What about dealing with strict parents and guardians? When I was 15 – 16 years old my guardian took the birth control I had and flushed each and every one of them down the drain and took condoms poked holes in them and threw them in the garbage. What happens then? How can teens deal with these types of parents when they are trying to prevent themselves from becoming pregnant and catching an STI if they are sexually active?
I also don’t agree with telling kids abstinence is the best way I understand it’s the truth but it’s unrealistic and when you start out a conversation like that with a teen I believe it’s just gonna make them shut down even more because you can’t even relate with them unfortunately our society is totally OK with kids having sex at a young age obviously otherwise the parents are not supervising very well
Will we ever talk about EMOTIONAL consequences in sex?? Why is it NEVER talked about? There are SO MANY girls REGRETING having sex and I am one of them. If someone told me about how awful you can feel after it and how important it is choose someone who will care about you, I would have waited more. That is why I wish more girls were aware about how emotionally damaging sex can be when you do it with the wrong person.
Why make it available….why not talk about healthy relationships instead of safe sex and how it can impact sex. Also safe sex should be taught but is this really a Amin topic just abstain until you graduate from high school
Abortion should also be free and without parental consent at any age, with a dr's visit. ALL repro options should be taught to girls starting in 5th grade.
I feel so blessed that I live in England, the clinics here are free and you don't need a parent. When I was 15 I walked in filled the form and got a contraceptive implant in my arm. The doctor was phenomenal and she gave me a big bag of free condoms/leaflets 😁
Maybe yes, but I still disagree with teens doing that, cause they are still young, they are still children. It doesnt matter if you love your boyfriend/girlfriend so much, or you think your an adult, your still a child not an adult, you may be a little developed, but not fully. But I know it will never stop, but I still don't think its OK for teens Literal children to do that. And plus you teens need to focus on your education, then getting serious with your bf/gf, like I said y'all guys are still children.
I have two daughters, one is 11 and 17. I’m the one who should be talking to them, not a doctor going behind my back and prescribing medicine. That is taking a right away from the parent. It’s lying to us, how is that ok?
Yoo first

I don’t agree with this doctor at all to have a discussion with a minor without a parent being in the room I don’t feel is right

I read the title and yelled “YES!!” … I’ve been saying this for years!!!
Than ADULTS!? NO?!. THAT could make a knocked up teen a ,"Dr.," Before an adult that could have DESERVED the title one day
Not to mention who ever heard of a minor trying to have a baby without some type of abuse and crime involved?
Horrible! No! Parents are responsible for their children not government schools

Is it not easy?… guess im kinda “boxed in my country”
They should allow girls in high school to have the choice in like health class to sign up or something
Abstinence is really unrealistic… I’m sorry but teenagers discover it… it’s normal and I think with education, it’s better than without it
I agree!!!
The answer is no.

Can someone told me the exact title and author about the research study that Dr. mentioned?
