The heartache of the 12 year old
This recent news in the Media concerning the 12 year old girl being put on the pill really saddens me. On first hearing it I had a mixture of emotions. Anger, horror, sympathy, sadness, to name a few. I honestly didn't think that it was legal for a Dr to prescribe contraceptives to minors without the parents permission. As a parent I would have been furious to have been 'kept in the dark' over it.
On the other hand, why is this kid - and yes, that's all she is, a kid, find the need for contraception? What has happened to her in the past for her to take this pathway? My heart goes out to her and to her parents. I just hope that there can be some bridges built within the family and pray that there will be help for this young person who has the rest of her life ahead of her.
