[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 88275, member: 1233"] Part of what bothers me with this is that it really only impacts the girls. It is saying that it is OK to give powerful hormones to girls with-o parents advice at a very young age. Boys can become fathers, but there are no hormone treatments at this time to prevent it. I think that if there were male hormone pills being dispensed, with the same risks girls face, the situation would be different. If my daughter was given bc pills it would be extremely dangerous for her. Her neuro problems are such that hormone therapy is just not an option. I do not think she is capable, at this age, of giving a complete medical history to the docs, not without me there. If boys ran the risk of stroke or other neuro catastrophes, then the dispensing would be different. But it is just girls. Unfortunately, this is the attitude I picked up from several articles.
