And this is relevant why ? I get the feeling you think that underage teenagers shouldn't get these things.

What is wrong with them getting birth control, therapy, HPV vaccine, therapy or abortion?

First of all: You can't deny them birth control and then when they get pregnant deny them abortion. That is stupid.

Second of all: What is wrong with getting HPV vaccine? Isn't it to prevent diseases?

Third of all: What the hell is wrong with getting therapy?

I did NOT say they should NOT get this things. I said a parent has a right to know. Most parents want what is best for their children. Parents need to be in the loop so that they can guide their child.

Under technical law they do own them (with limits) until the age of 18. Then the child can do what they bloody like.

No technical law says that parents own their children.--------

Which 'technical law' is this? The law hasn't operated like that for about a century in the UK. I assume USA is the same.

There is a law about parental control over a kid until the age of 18. That is when a child can start to make they're own decisions without there parents "ok" after 18 a parent has no control unless the child lives under their roof.

Wrong. You do not own people. That is slavery. .

no, it is childhood. Parents are the legal guardians of their children. They are better prepared to make decisions for their children. Yes there are abusive parents out there who should have child custody get involved, but a parent who lets their children do whatever they want is just as bad.

Yeah. Here in Utah, the state owns your children. Straight up.

Eh....to an extent. You can't make a child give up a kidney, but you can severely restrict their rights that don't have to do with their life. They can't say whatever they want under a certain age, they can't do what they want, under that same age, etc, if the parent so wills it.

That's right.

But LGBT doesn't own them either.

Stop brainwashing them in schools.

Leave them kids alone!

It's not brainwashing- it's "Hey kids, some women have sex with women, some men have sex with men- this is what they do and the contraception they use. These people suffer from discrimination, but don't hate them, okay? They're not hurting you."

That's about it in my school.
