Birth Control and Teens
Teenage girls should be allowed to be on birth control without the permission of their parents. The problem is that if they do have to ask permission from their parents, they might not let them be on birth control. Also These teenage girls might be having sexual reactions with a friend or boyfriend and might end up pregnant in an early age or might have to have an abortion and lose their first baby/child.
Teenage girls should be allowed to be on birth control without parental permission so they can be safe and not end up pregnant. If girls get pregnant in an early age, they won’t be able to finish their school or take care of the baby the way a child suppose to be treated. Since many parents doesn’t allow their teenage girls be on birth control, many of them will try to do many things behind their backs and even change their attitudes toward their parents.
According to KontrolMag.com, it states that “Currently teenage pregnancies are on the rise, therefore birth control is often utilized and needed by the teenage population. Without it pregnancy rates are high and affects the lives of those who are the recipients of it” (Larisa).
Some people believe that their parents should be strict with their teenage girls and put them on household then they won't be able to have sex and not get pregnant.Many teenage girls get kidnapped and raped and get pregnant that way and have a criminals’ child because their parents didn’t allow them to be on birth control when they ask to be on them.
According to Ucsf.edu, It states that “Parents perceptions of their daughters likelihood to have sex their parenting beliefs, their own sexual health as teens and their knowledge of sexually transmitted infections. The researchers then examined the influence of these factors on the parents acceptability of seven contraceptive methods.” (Bunim).
Some people believe that if teenage girls stay at their homes most of the time and walk around where there are a lot of people, the won’t get kidnapped or raped and never end up pregnant.
Teenage girls should be allowed to express their opinions and feelings. They are old enough to understand what’s right or wrong.They should decide whether or not be on birth control.
According to Ucsf.edu, it also states that “This conflict of interest puts teenage females in danger if they are sexually alive without the usage of birth control and contraceptives, these dangers consist of getting pregnant and contracting an STD or HIV.” Drinking birth control prevent you from catching these type of diseases.(Bunim).
Some people might think that teenage girls shouldn’t be on birth control or shouldn’t be having sex but people have to understand that some teenage girls want to experience and many girls now and days are getting pregnant more and more each year.
Teenage girls should have the right suggest whether or not they should be on birth control because they would know the responsibilities they would go through in life. If they dont be on birth control and they are still going to have sex behind their parents back. If your parent don’t like you doing things behind their backs, they should be able to trust you more and let you do whatever you think it’s best for you.
