I think it should be both.
(But IUD's for teenagers? No.)
I'm with you on that one, I wouldnt go so far as to outlaw it for teenagers, but I think they would be well aware of what they are in for.
I'd certainly not push it. There are a few risks involved that can result in infertility.
I'm sure there might be a good reason for some (heavy periods that do not get less heavy while on the pill, a week in bed because of periods etc etc), but for a normal healthy 16 year old, I would definitely not recommend it.
"Just for convenience" is not a good enough reason for me to put my daughters on an IUD. It is too invasive and there are too many risks involved, imho.
And, since I am paying...
