Health Care

Our teen years are about gaining independence from our parents, and this includes the point at which we learn to care for ourselves, and seek healthcare when we need it. This volume helps readers understand the real and perceived teen rights related to health care, such as the level at which minors should be involved in their own health-care decisions, abortion rights, and the role religion plays in health care. One compelling essay is a parent's explanation of why she denied medical treatment for her teen.
