When it comes to teen contraception, it's important to strike a balance between autonomy and support. While teenagers should have the autonomy to make decisions about their sexual health, it's also crucial for them to have access to support and guidance from trusted adults and healthcare providers.

One example of this balance is the provision of comprehensive sex education in schools. By providing accurate information about contraception and sexual health, teens are empowered to make informed decisions about their reproductive choices. Additionally, healthcare providers can offer confidential and non-judgmental services to ensure that teens have access to contraception if they choose to be sexually active.
