[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I was 13 and I had an std I wouldn't want my parents to know. Great idea now kids can get treated without their parents knowing, [/quote]

If a young teen (still a child) is having sex that results in an std or worse, their parents should know, because either the kid is engaging in terrible at risk behavior or the teen it being abused or exploited by someone.  That same kid cannot carry her own epipen or inhaler in school without written parent permission, nor can she take her own tylenol at school, yet her parents must jumo through hoops to access her medical info?

This is stupidity at its worst.[/quote] +1[/quote]

It's great that you think parents should know, but if that prevents a kid from actually getting medical help, then all the "shoulds" in the world are pointless. Additionally, a lot of this is due to sexual abuse which is often perpetrated by relatives. This isn't a perfect system, and I hope that there is some adjustment as technology increases and time passes, but for those most at risk it's a good thing.[/quote]
