they own your organs until you are 18

Spiritually it was intended to be that you were obliged to give that child or children the religious education that the parents couldn't should they die.  In today's society, it has come to mean something different, such as taking care of a child or children PERIOD, should something happen to the parents.  It has the connotation of being there for that child, of remaining in that childs life, etc... possibly helping out financially or physically if needed.

Yes it is allowed, and I am one.  Saving the life of another is a very high honor in Islam.  Life is sacred.  I am a muslim woman and I signed the back of my Driver's License that states that I wish to donate my organs.  God willing, I can save somebody in death with my heart, brain, or other items.  I don't think my lungs would be too good, though, since I have chronic bronchitis and have had pneumonia.

Donate all body parts (a) to those who need them, e.g kidney, heart, etc, and (b) the rest to medical research.\n\nIf you are a minor, please seek parental consent first.  Be warned that such permission will be denied!!\n\nSeriously now, look around to see if there is someone who needs your help, e,g  a neglected child, an elderly neighbor, an academically challenged youth.  Try to bring some joy to someone else (even if you yourself do not have much joy).

Parents tend to do this, especially if they think we might be making the wrong decision or we take for granted what we have presently. They do it to help us avoid andlearn (from) the mistakes they made and to be able to live a better live than they did.\n\nParents feel that the proof of your life (and its conditions) is a reflection of the job they did as a parent and they want to do it to the best of their ability.\n\nLook at the motivation behind the "lectures" then you can appreciate the effort of your parents.\n\nbest wishes for a great relationship with your parents!

It's called rebellion.  I had 3 teenage girls at the same time.  A teen feels they are old enough to make their own decisions and don't need their parents telling them what to do.  You don't realize that your parents were once teens also and they know and understand what is going on with you because they went through it to.  truth is, you are not old enough to know better.  You think you are, but you are not.  Parents only want what is best for their children no matter what age.  As hard as it may be, try listening to your parents.  Sit down and talk.  Ask them why they are being so forbidden on certain liberties that you want.  You will be surprised how understanding parents can really be.  Don't give up...it gets better, believe me.

In most states it is 18, otherwise a parent or guardian would need to sign for the person.

Most often, teens still live at home in the care of their parents.\nThey are not considered adults by society or by law.\n\nTo become a parent in this situation, someone who is still considered a child, now has a child to raise of their own.

To different questions.  A person is declared dead by a doctor in most states.  (Some allow paramedics or RNs in certain situations to do it, but most require a doctor)\n\nA person is available to be harvested only if a family member consents to it.  Once they have consent they see if there is anything they can harvest.  By law they can't begin this process/conversation until the person is dead.  Also the doctor declaring the patient dead can't have any interest in the transplant.  (can't be his patient getting the organs, a family member getting them, can't be the one harvesting them, etc)

Some teens are turned on by the sex with an older man thing. They don't understand (or care) that you can get in serious trouble if their parents find out. You could even be accused of statutory rate. Maybe it's all a thrill for them.\n It's good to hear you have better morals that R. Kelly!!

Most teenagers think their parents dont know anything. I suspect that people asking for such advice on here, arent really seeking advice; they are looking for connections. Additionally, no-one can accept advice from someone they dont know and cant make a proper judgement as to the quality of that advice. Advice is valuable only when it comes from someone you know and trust or from a professional in whom you have confidence. At best, they are looking for support for what they already think. But then thats why most people seek 'advice' anyway, isnt it?? :-)

Because they love their child. And they want to give it better future and life better than they lived. Thats it. You will also do same with your child.

Because they are boys; because they are teenagers; because they have an odd family situation.  Need any more reasons?

actually, they think now that both parents have to be carriers ,but my sister has it, and we can only trace it through my dad's side of the family. but still, she is worried about passing it to her kids, to the point of not wanting to bare her own. diabetics can live full lives, but it is a lot of stress, and the complications can be pretty serious. it is understandable that diabetics would not want their children to go through what they did.

It is completely up to you because if you think  you are mature enoughto take responsibility to use poretection and be safe then go for it. Be careful the person you chose to give your virginity to because it is sacred and it can never be given away again. If you want to let your parents opinions be a factor in your decision then its up to you.
