Like say you had parents that had a different view on birth control like most parents and went against it, the teenager might feel as if they were going against his/her parents and wouldn’t get what they needed. This goes along with being disowned by family because of your choice. If a teen has sex, don’t you think they should have access to the proper protection with or without parent consent? Teenagers don’t have that sense of comfort in talking to their parents about sex because some feel as if it’s awkward, weird or as if their parents will get mad or judge them.
