Teenager Healthcare (privacy)

It was believed and backed up by law that confidential heath care is the right of every human and failure to respect this term would mean breaking the law.
An assistance has no right to release any record without informing the administrator, this could mean that the data has lost its security and that all records kept in the supposed system are not well guarded thereby content of many or all the records kept might have been accessed by the assistant or someone else without consenting the owners of such information.
Should the assistant release the record without consenting the administrator then the admin could sue him or her for data violation in the court of law.
A teenager is considered to be a soft minded individual that could easily be made to change their mind even in the wrong direction; the teenager should not be asked to request the record except they decided on their own but should such occur a discussion with the teenager about informing or involving his or her parents must be met but in a careful manner so as not to breach privacy which could lead to teenagers refusing treatments in future time.
Any part of the record is to be kept confidential though this section may exclude some amount of fact that can be shared with parents but these parts are the parts that will not breach the privacy rule, healthcare professional might await court order before releasing health records of teenagers.
The parents have right over their children to an extent because adolescents too wanted a private life they are not willing to share all of their day to day activities with their parents let alone health matters, they also rely on their doctors to keep all infomation that have been disclose or gathered through diagnosis confidential except; should an exemption applies just as adult too would.
