I am sorry, but SOCIETY makes laws and we have judged that people under the age of 18 do not have the emotional experience nor the maturity to handle those 3 simple but important things.
That being said, life is an oxymoron. For example, under the age of 18 you are to be triad as a minor. There have been cases where the minors have been triad as adults. To enforce YOUR side, a girl can see a doctor regarding sexual issues WITHOUT her parents at age 14. This supports your side more than anything. BUT this was put in place because kids explore and accidents can happen. It was meant to help, not to see a minor as mature.
Back to the reason it was said. You said Dr. Phil called a 17 year old...a girl. Think about the backlash if he called her a woman. Who watches Dr. Phil? A Young lady would have been better or teenager.
The reason I said what was said was very simple. Dr. Phil is on TV. The girl is a minor. He called her a girl. Nothing wrong there. That was all.
