Hey there! You are an awesome and brave teen! I can relate to how hard it really can be to find the right. That is extremely symptomatic of someone whose moral compass is off (sorry to be frank), unless he has some deep concerns for getting it and is fearful, in which case the hesitancy can be helped by persuading him to talk to a doctor, someone he trusts who got vaccinated…acknowledging that hesitancy is real without passing judgment can help but only if the person hasn’t gone off the deep end.
Secondly, if I read your post correctly, your friend seems to be okay with others around him doing their part to protect him (by being vaccinated) but he is okay not doing his part for others (he intends to party etc., so clearly not just isolated within his quorum of vaccinated ppl). And many have had to drop off from college too. There is so much to unpack from your post…įirst off, I’m posting one story from (there are several like this), where healthy teens are suffering from long haul COVID. Hey there, sorry to hear about your friend. You aren’t alone…you can get through this…We sincerely hope convincing your mom works out. Also, bear in mind that teens who typically want to take this route should have some knowledge of their medical history and try to get a school nurse consult if possible. These are complicated to navigate not as simple as looking up the law since there are also rules for whether the teen needs to be accompanied or not and those vary by age within state.

We also maintain an accurate list of laws, health dept rules by state, along with pharmacy locations by zip code. These examples and more tips are in the link above. One teen we helped shared examples with her mom (who was a bit more open to listen) and it helped. We have seen that sometimes parents don’t want to keep hearing facts and studies…a more emotional, gentle persistence works better.ĭoes she know about healthy young teens catching severe long-haul COVID and many dying? This whole “teens are a low risk” is not true especially with the highly contagious delta variant. And in a couple days, you can suggest perhaps both of you can go to the doctor and just speak to doctor. She may open up either right away or it will give her something to think about. She wants the best for you in the way she knows best (even if she is misguided), so just make sure you resonate to that emotion that she cares for you and you are sad (don’t weave in the angry, frustrated part). Just a heart-to-heart chat about how you feel. Are you able to find a happy time with her that she sees you emotional about not getting the vaccine and how you are sad about not being able to do things you want to? Don’t mix this convo with facts, studies, etc., to prove anything.
If she is saying that it’s poison etc., it is a strong indication that she is buying into all the disinformation out there. Is there anyone in your family (or extended family) or her friends she trusts and who are provax for the COVID vaccine? Sometimes adults are only willing to hear it from other adults (like a friend’s mom talking to her). All these are also in the link to the guide for teens. Hey there, sorry to hear this…so proud of you for trying!! Below are some tips from the work we do with teens who are trying to convince their parents.
