Yikes, I don’t think I like this. A Republican-controlled committee in North Carolina has approved a bill that would require teens to present a notarized parental consent form in order to get STD testing and treatment, mental health counseling, pregnancy care or substance abuse treatment. This scares me, because a lot of teens would NEVER want to tell their parents about ANY of this stuff. What do you think of this?
