Condoms in the schools?
Condoms in the schools?
Edited by moderator - moved
I am also writting an argument paper on whether or not condoms should be in the school. I do believe they should. I have 2 teenagers and I have seen the increase in teen pregnancy, as well as STD's. Even though I do believe in waiting till married, I know for alot of people this is hard or impossible now these days. But I believe our kids should have the education and choice to go along with that. Some parents don't teach or support this, and so then what are they suppose to do? Could you please give me your opioion, and reasoning. Please and Thank you.

In places where abstinence only sex education (southern usa) is taught it would be a bit strange to distribute condoms. In schools that teach safe sex practices, it seems necessary to distribute them, or at least explain how to acquire condoms if not through a drug store. The British governement has a programme set up for young people (16-19 year olds) that is a discreet way of getting protection, and they go into schools and universities around the country through health programmes explaining the importance of safe sex practices and they distribute condoms and a card to get a year supply.

i think that condoms should be made available to teenagers, considering the increase in teenage pregnancy and STD's. At the same time, teenagers should be given sex education regarding proper precautions and also where to draw the line. Making condoms easily available doesn't mean encouraging pre-maritial sex, rather making them more aware, responsible and safe. If we dont teach them the cons, then we can also never teach them any prons.

The increase of STD is not caused by not using a condom, but by having sex. Not because there is a gun people get killed, but because someone got in his mind to kill somebody people die.
We can take the easy way out, hand out condoms and ignore the problem. Or educate our children properly about love, respect, loyalty and relationsships. With a society which is quickly sexualising we have to resist that, not encourage it. With good education and most of all parental control and couching we can protect ourself and the next generation.
Do we want a world in which sex is more important then loyalty and loyalty? Is that our generations heritage to our children?I pray not.

Any school that teaches sex education would be being pretty hypocritical if they did not!
