looking at this from a 17-yr old viewpoint, they (and we) have never experienced ANYTHING like this desperate and despicable medical/pharm community...if you can't get exemption, for any/all reasons, then my suggestion would be to delay, delay, delay...as a young person, he hasn't experienced enough of life yet to make an educated decision (is there any such thing anymore)...i think one cave-in to medical demands will surely lead to another, and no stopping there...you're in a tough spot as a parent these days, but you ARE the parent nontheless...
