Yes. Its that simple. * No, not in the general context. Federal regulation Title X supports a minors rights to privacy when it pertains to issues such as contraception, treatment of STD, etc. (the exception in some states is abortion). 30 US states by statutory law protect the minors rights to privacy when it relates to medical care such as cited in the question. The US Supreme Court has continued to rule that the US Constitution affords a minor the same privacy rights in such issues as it does an adult regardless of the laws of the state in which the minor resides. The best choice would be for the minor to discuss such matters with their parents. In lieu of such, the legal community will uphold said minor's legal rights to privacy in such issues. The medical community tends to have the same view with the exception of life threatening situations where it is believed that the minor is not able to make an informed decision.

What are the laws regarding a child being solicited for sex in Ohio?
In Ohio compelling another individual to prostitute themselves is a third degree felony. Soliciting a minor age 16-17 is a second degree felony, and soliciting a minor under the age of 16 is a first degree felony. The appropriate law is below: Ohio Revised Code 2907.21 (A) No person shall knowingly do any of the following: (2) Induce, procure, encourage, solicit, request, or otherwise facilitate either of the following: (a) A minor to engage in sexual activity for hire, whether or not the offender knows the age of the minor; (b) A person the offender believes to be a minor to engage in sexual activity for hire, whether or not the person is a minor. (3) (a) Pay or agree to pay a minor, either directly or through the minor's agent, so that the minor will engage in sexual activity, whether or not the offender knows the age of the minor; (b) Pay or agree to pay a person the offender believes to be a minor, either directly or through the person's agent, so that the person will engage in sexual activity, whether or not the person is a minor. (4) (a) Pay a minor, either directly or through the minor's agent, for the minor having engaged in sexual activity pursuant to a prior agreement, whether or not the offender knows the age of the minor; (b) Pay a person the offender believes to be a minor, either directly or through the person's agent, for the person having engaged in sexual activity pursuant to a prior agreement, whether or not the person is a minor. (5) (a) Allow a minor to engage in sexual activity for hire if the person allowing the child to engage in sexual activity for hire is the parent, guardian, custodian, person having custody or control, or person in loco parentis of the minor; (b) Allow a person the offender believes to be a minor to engage in sexual activity for hire if the person allowing the person to engage in sexual activity for hire is the parent, guardian, custodian, person having custody or control, or person in loco parentis of the person the offender believes to be a minor, whether or not the person is a minor. (B) For a prosecution under division (A)(1) of this section, the element "compel" does not require that the compulsion be openly displayed or physically exerted. The element "compel" has been established if the state proves that the victim's will was overcome by force, fear, duress, or intimidation. (C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of compelling prostitution. Except as otherwise provided in this division, compelling prostitution is a felony of the third degree. If the offender commits a violation of division (A)(1) of this section and the person compelled to engage in sexual activity for hire in violation of that division is sixteen years of age or older but less than eighteen years of age, compelling prostitution is a felony of the second degree. If the offender commits a violation of division (A)(1) of this section and the person compelled to engage in sexual activity for hire in violation of that division is less than sixteen years of age, compelling prostitution is a felony of the first degree.

How can you solve teenage pregnancy?
The sex hormones are jerking in the teen age. It is very difficult for you to control yourself in such a situation. The children are under the influence of the parents. Parents are usually against the sexual activity of the children. But it is too human to err. I take it as compliment that not all the girls and boys go for sexual activity. Few are going to make mistakes. The problem is too be handled with great sympathy and care. Sex education may help you a lot to prevent the problem. That will probably, increase the percentage of the children, which get involved in the sexual activities. Few of the children are going to get involved in sexual activity and that can not be prevented.

What age can you be involved with a minor in Maryland?
If by "involved" you mean some kind of overt sexual activity, it falls under several different laws on sexual offenses. If however one does not mean sexual activity (that is, actions are confined to dating, hugging and kissing only), there is no specific law about that. Regarding sexual activity, if the minor is 16 or older, there is no restriction (unless you work at the minor's school or are soliciting them for prostitution). If they are under 16, you must be within 4 years of their age, or you are in violation of one of four different laws: Sexual offense in the second, third or fourth degree, or Rape in the second degree.
