as minors you don't have a say because the people above you think that you are not responsible enough to make your own choices even if they are the right ones. trust me its all happened to me.

Another View: Because, under the law, you are not considered to be a mature sentient legal being until you achieve the age of adulthoodwhich im most states is 18 years of age.

How do you encourage children to make decisions for themselves?

They already make decisions for themselves;). You can provide them with opportunities to make decisions on their own. If they are a bit older, be their guide and provide them with advise, rather than do things for them that they can so themselves. Understand that if they are capable and have the resources to do something, they CAN do it. Just remember that if they do make bad decisions, you let them know the negative consequences.

Is it legal to be forced to the gynecologist?

It can be legal if it is determined that there is a significant threat to the patient or to someone else and/ or that the person is not competent to make decisions for themselves (it's a general legal principle that minors are not competent to make decisions regarding their own medical care; their parents are expected to make these decisions for them... with a couple of significant exceptions). It is also legal to examine a minor over both the parent's and minors objections if there is a suspicion of abuse or some other serious medical condition. The details of exactly when these things apply varies from state to state and unless there is an immediate emergency usually requires going to court. It is generally not legal to compel competant adults who present no imminent danger to themselves or others to any medical exam (and may still not be legal even if there is a danger to themselves).
