MLA Persuasive Paper Should teenage girls be allowed to get birth control without parents consent? In my opinion, I think teenage girls should be able to get birth control without their parents knowing simply because some parents wouldn’t allow it. Another reason a young girl should be allowed to access birth control without their parents’ permission is because if parents are involved, some teens will not seek the treatment needed. Also if a teen was to ask a parent to help them get birth control, some parents might automatically jump to conclusions and assume their child is having sex. Teenage girls should be able to get birth control without their parents knowing because some parents wouldn’t allow it.
4). These days most teenagers learn most of what they know about sexual intercourse from the media or friends, which means they are less likely to understand all of the dangers they might encounter such as: sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, or the emotional toll. The morning after pill is definitely not the only way to prevent pregnancies though. There are other forms that are more effective, and that do not cause as many problems as the morning after pill. First and foremost there is only one way to be 100 percent sure you will not become pregnant.
By taking the decision out of the parent’s hand, the relationship is also affected as the child is no longer discussing what is going on in their life and freeze the lines of communications between parent and child. It encourages teens to have unprotected sex which leads to STD’s /STI’s It can lead teens to believing that getting pregnant will be ok and they will be able to turn to a Plan B pill. Females should have the option to be examined and advised on what their options are when it comes to the different types of birth control…There could be cases where the student could be allergic to some of the ingredients.

If schools can’t give kids Aspirin or Motrin without informing the parents; then why should they be able to administer birth control without the parents
Melissa Capristo Mr. Baumgartner English 10 Honors 2 December 2012 Pro-Choice How would you feel if someone controlled what you did to your own body? I feel that by not making abortion legal you are controlling someone’s rights to their own body. Many women that want to have an abortion have emotional and personal reasons behind it. Some women choose to have their babies even though they didn’t want to but I believe that those kids have a high chance of growing up feeling unloved by their mother. I believe that every single person that is born into this world should have the rights to their own body.
However, humans are sexual beings. Like all sexual creatures we have an instinctive sexual desire (Taflinger, 1996). Because of the nature of human beings, it is reasonable that students receive comprehensive sexual education combined with abstinence education, so youth can make informed reproductive choices, understand the risks of sex (and know how to protect themselves from those risks), and be active in promoting their own sexual well-being. Abstinence-only programs can be dangerous because students do not receive the information regarding safe sex and contraception. Studies have shown students who participated in comprehensive sexual education were no more likely to engage in sexual activity than a student who participated in abstinence-only programs.
Peer pressure is so common in schools from middle school all the way to junior high. If parents aren’t able to help the next generation our future who will also be responsible for our future generations shouldn’t we give them a professional environment where they can actually learn how to be safe and handle the emotions and new feelings they get from puberty. Parents will argue against their sons or daughters to go take sex education. Fear is common that sex education will be a gate way to believing sex is ok. Sex education however provides different methods to prevent having STD’s or giving birth which happens without a basis of how to use protection.
They often time just make decisions that will benefit them for the moment. The decision to have sex at a young age could have more devastating consequences than becoming pregnant such as contracting a disease that could be life threatening. It is becoming the norm in our society for teens to engage in sexual relations which is an unfortunate problem in my
Unfortunately, the baby has not. Many people abuse the fact that they are pregnant and end up harming the baby by their own wrongful doings. For example, if the mother smokes, the child has an increased chance that it could come out with asthma. Whether it is more serious or something little such as asthma, they think that if their child is not going to be normal that it would be easier to just get rid of him or her before they have to live a life like that. This is wrong, in my
BIRTH CONTROL FOR TEENS BY: MICHELE CLARK COMPOSITION I ENC 1101 – 120 EVEREST UNIVERSITY BIRTH CONTROL FOR TEENS The age long debate about giving birth control to teenagers has gone on for decades. Some says that by giving birth control (the pill and/or condoms) to teens, we are giving them the green light so to speak to become sexually active. That it is the individual parents’ decision to make. Whereas others say by doing so we are protecting our children from sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned teen pregnancies. Birth control can be and is prescribed for more than protection.
Group # 4 English 99 Wiley Group Project The Plan B Pill Some argue that by allowing the morning after pill drug to be sold to kids, would give them the consent to have sex. However, young kids are already having sex, whether Plan B is sold in pharmacies without a prescription. People argued that it was too dangerous for girls to be allowed this drug. They think girls wouldn’t understand the proper use, and might abuse it. The Plan B is legally available to girls age 17 with proof of age right now.
