Discussion i know most of us are pro choice but...

i'm quite curious to know what you guys think about children and teens with mental health problems lurking on here or wanting to ctb? do you believe they should have the right to end their lives too or are they too young? i'm talking about, say, 13-17 year olds

that age it would be hard to tell if what they are going through is true pain or hormones, what in their short life has caused them to become suicidal, is it trauma, or a life changing event, a serious illness, or is it literally teenage angst.
I do believe at that age, there needs to be intervention too seek the deeper root of the issue, because they are still classed as a minor and are under adult care of some kind (or at least most are)
BUT pro choice should be a freedom of right regardless, whether someone acts on it esp at that age, what i wrote above comes into my thoughts

In general, I don't think people under 18 should ctb unless they have serious health issues.
