it really struck me that as a doctor next time, i'm gonna have to make such decisions(about letting the girl's parents know about her pregnancy or not). well, as i'm a person with rather traditional values, i think it's already kinda "absurd/unacceptable" for a girl to get pregnant and i really think that as the older generation with more knowledge and experience, parents are the people who know how to best help their pregnant daughters, 'cos no parent would ever harm his/her child. so yep, i will tell the parents. but looking at the teenager's point of view, they may have their difficulties as well. so it's really hard to decide.
for me personally, besides taking care of the biological aspects, i will definitely try my best to be a counsellor to the pregnant girl as well. if she really doesn't want her parents to know, then i guess i'd have to take that role(partially, one way or another). this is what i truly believe in i guess.
this is a very thought-provoking learning issue which i enjoyed mulling over. but still, i believe that getting pregnant as a teenager is such a big mistake. no matter how u justify it.
