Personally, I do highly believe that Adolescents have the right to make autonomous medical choices but this is a highly argumentative subject. I feel as if my parents shouldn’t have to confirm everything about me, for I am my own person by 15 even though they still look at me as their “baby-girl”. Lets face it by 15 i’m not so much of a baby anymore, i’m not completely grown yet but i’m far enough away from the baby stage and am perfectly capable to make my own decisions by now.

I should be able to fully make my own medical decisions without the approval of a parent or guardian, since the fact that it’s my body and i’m the one who has to live
