Yeah I'm under 18, just by two years though but they are strictly against me going. I could ask her to simply explain about mental health problems although knowing my close minded parents, they won't care nor listen. They are just so very close minded, they really think meds are just another way to get hooked on a drug. I need to find a way they can understand and it's only getting worst and worst and I don't think I can wait two years. Besides, it's not even in our insurance. How can I get them to understand (just to put it this way, when I was extremely suicidal, they were strictly against putting me in the hospital)?
