It's a confusing place. GD generally hates abortion and loves fetuses until they're born. Then they become "little welfare parasites" that should be allowed starve to death before a single dime of public funding is spent on them. Compassion only extends to a narrow range here. View Quote But don't dare talk about a 16 year old kid being responsible to not want a "Crotch fruit" I'm not saying I would be pleased with the school, or my Daughter for doing this without my permission. But at least the kid is taking responsibility for her actions and future. |

Getting a three-year device at age 16 probably isn't the worst idea. That said it's really not the school's business. View Quote |

"However, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years of age or older. This is partially based on the legal principle that a minor cannot enter into a legal contract or otherwise render informed consent for a procedure."

Eh I was torn, but I decided the minor can make her own choice on birth control, including hormonal. Especially at age 16.

I don't see why everyone is so pissed off. She's 16, she's probably already sexually active. Aren't we always bitching about welfare mothers on here? So she got birth control and her mother didn't know. Maybe her mother is catholic and against it. Who cares? She's trying to be responsible about having sex. It wasn't a "school field trip". If you read the article it says very clearly that it's an outside group the girl was interested in visiting and they called the mother to ask if the girl could go. We can either freak out about welfare mothers or we can freak out about teen birth control, but not both. View Quote |

But, but some here claim the public schools your best friend. Don't let the government schools near your kids. They are not your friend. It doesn't matter how well you trust them, they won't hesitate to betray you just like this mother was betrayed.

What the heck is this!! I don't want my daughter to be learning about safe sex or getting contraceptives in school. Who do these schools think they are trying to teach my kids to be responsible. My children won't have sex because I told them not to, and my kids always obey my rules and never lie. Hey if they catch an STD or get pregnant that's their fault for not listening to dad. They can live on welfare and government handouts like the dummies they are.

The facility gets paid per implant, and they found some new candidates.

Kid is not old enough to vote, drink, serve, but is she past the legal age to fuck?
In all fairness, I would be a pissed off parent if he school did this. I also believe that the side effects are vastly underpublished. That said, if a girl is going to fuck, she is going to fuck. There are side effects for doing that as well. ---- pretty sure I knew at least one woman who had some complications with her implant either shattering or migrating. She got married and wanted kids, but could not have them or get the stupid thing removed. |

Because some parents are just too fucking stupid or iggorant to understand what their little rosebud is up to. Kids have been fucking for thousands of years, shit, 200 years ago they were getting married at 13. I still remember taking my 14 yr old GF to the doctor and getting her on the pill, because we were being responsible about birth control. He said, ' You are 15, right? Cause I am not supposed to prescribe these for you until you are 15.' "Sure thing, Doc." 'OK then. see you in 6 months for a refill' We even ripped one off in his parking lot to celebrate. Her parents assumed we were having sex, but never asked, never knowingly caught us, either. And this was 51 years ago, admittedly in a different country, where attitudes towards sex are nowhere near as puritanical as here. So this young lady was just being practical, safe and responsible, is spite of her parents ideals. IMHO YMMV. View Quote |

You and many others are missing the point. The point is not whether or not a 16 year old should or should not be on birth control--people are not bitching about that. What they are concerned with is that an agent of the state facilitated a medical procedure on a minor child without parental notification. THAT, sir, is the primary issue here. View Quote |

That 16 yo was probably subjected to a high pressure Time Share type presentation from the moment she arrived....including a free luncheon and a free 3 night stay at a seedy motel of her choice.
Next up is: " Hey, I got this 3 month birth control thingy.....let's see if it works." Parents proper reply to the MD's , PA's, NP's, LPN's that fomented this: " Do you know Negan?......because I'm going back out to the car to get Lucille." |

Wow what a bad idea. Hitting a kid with long term hormones that can't be easily stopped and not telling anyone. Think of it like roid rage, ladies can get the same thing. After our second child my wife got back on birth control after 4-5 months. The brand she was on changed to something else. Two days later we are talking about something and she starts throwing stuff. Broke a large vase with water and flowers In it, 2 plates and runs outside screaming and pulling her hair. I was like what the heck? She comes back in a couple min like normal says sorry and we clean it up. Next day she calls me to come home get the kids she was thinking of stabbing them with a kitchen knife. Turnd out to be the birth control she was on not depression or anything baby related. We stopped the BC and she was normal in a couple days. Changed BC and no more issues. I would be very pissed if this was my girl. I wonder how many teen suicides are related, can't know because it's under the table.

That 16 yo was probably subjected to a high pressure Time Share type presentation from the moment she arrived... View Quote But none of that is the relevant point. The government-run school is willfully acting and assisting in undermining the authority and primacy of the parents. That's not only wrong, it runs counter to the school's supposed mission of education, considering parental cooperation is rather important in that effort. Then there's the fact that we're not treating an invasive medical procedure that alters the patient's hormonal balance with due respect, excused because, "Well, birth control is different, because kids want to fuck." |

I'm betting the school intentionally left out the part about the purpose for the trip. Or maybe the clinic had the plan and the school was just clueless rubes, just arranging a busload of potential customers to be dropped off at a retail location, and the school had no idea what might happen. Sure. That's believable. To be clear, I don't really care about the BC thing. But the school needs to not be participating in facilitating medical procedures on the students without the consent or knowledge of the parents. |

View Quote Most forms or oral and implanted birth control is essentially nothing more than a large does of estrogen and or progestin. Now it may be possible that your wife was placed on a low or non estrogen pill after her body had acclimated to previous high estrogen pills that reduced her bodies natural production. That combined with some form of post partum depression could cause such behavior but a simple increase in estrogen alone will not cause aggression. Aggressive behavior in males using steroids is the result of elevated testosterone levels which are the exact opposite of estrogen. |
