Allowing children age 11-15 to get birth control with out parent consent is a good idea. I am a student in college and i know many young children that are out there having sex at a young age. Yes it is very sicken but you have to understand that rather you accept it or not it is going to happen. The best thing that we can do is speak to them influence these children about why not to do it and the danger that can happen from have sex. But right now you got to understand that there can be children younger then even 11 that is having sex. I myself rather that they do not do it and focus more on school but since they are doing it at least have them be aware of birth control and condoms. This way we can at least do our part in influence them about protection and hopefully decrease the amount of STD's and HIV that is in this world.

Also, the next reason why it should be without parent consent because most children may not go to there parents about them having sex so they will continue to have sex with out telling them and end up doing it unprotected. Some of the reason why they may not tell there parents because they already know what there parents may say to them, they can be scared and afraid what may happen. Most parents may react in a harsh manner and that is the main reason why children would not tell parents about what they may think or may already have started doing.

The sad part about all of these parents is in denial about these things and they would not accept it. Not all parent knows best a child may not tell you what is going on but maybe a teenager may let you know the truth and if not then speak to a young adult they may let you be aware with what was or is happen when they were younger or what is goin on now in schools or neighborhoods today.
