Birth Control, Who has say in whether or not todays youth gets it? Options

[MissFits]

It isn't just given out. You see the school nurse and she tells you what would be best for you. Just because the nurse works at the school doesn't mean she doesn't know medicine.

Also. YOUNG KIDS ARE HAVING SEX!!!!!!!! We aren't going to be able to stop them, yes, I agree we should educate them on safe sex, but as long as kids are having sex they need to be on birth control. I know that giving it to young people is strange, but it's much better to get it to them while they are young and prevent pregnancy than it is to have them try and raise a child.

An added note. In most states you don't need parental permission anyway, they are making it easier to access by having it at school.

Nurses not "knowing medicine" is not the issue. At the schools, they aren't going to have all the recourses than an OB/GYN does, and having such easy access to the pill would take away the necessity for girls to visit an OB/GYN, which is important for the sexually active. I'm not saying that schools have incompetent nurses, but taking care of that sort of thing isn't their job, and it doesn't really need to be, because it still isn't the same as actually going to a doctor that specializes in that area.

No one is denying that kids have sex at young ages. And yeah, education needs to be reinforced by actual preventive measures. I'm not even saying that it's that strange for young girls to be on it, but that I don't feel that is the best way to go about it.

i like these debates they make me laugh, and this is why:

no one wants to be aborted.

i think giving birthcontrol pills encourages the kids to have sex more often thus having a higher risk in getting disease since BC has absolutely 0% chance of blocking out stds. i think they should give out female and male condoms instead of bc.

kinda off topic and stupid but isnt the original reason for sexual intercourse getting pregnant and reproduce.

I am assuming so but we live in a different time, and some young girls whore it up. They need to be on birth control.

Are you Catholic? If not, you should look into it; it might be the right religion for you.

[datass]

i'm not saying we're not supposed to have sex unless we're tryna get preggo.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

That's not really what I meant either, but that's their reasoning behind their stance on birth control.

[Uronacid]

There are medical side effects to this shit. It's not right.

I'll be honest, I didn't read everyone's repsonses, so I don't know if someone already said this, but here's my oppinion:

I think it's kind of...bad that they're giving middle schoolers condoms and birth control.It's almost like they're encouraging them to have sex.I think it's more important to educate them on sex and maybe explain to them why they shouldn't be having it.

However, for, like, high school students, I don't think it's that bad.I think it's a little more difficult to abstain (?)from having sex once you get older.
...But, I don't know, I think maybe they should have some form of parental consent (Though, I guess if I wanted to get the pill, it would be hard for me to ask my mom...)

I don't think the school should give anything out. Now, if they want to put a machine in the bathrooms so the kids can buy the condoms for $25 cents, cool . Now, when it comes to birth control, I think they should leave that up to the parents because every girl would have to see their gynecologist because there are different type of pills and one pill is not for every girl.

If the school still like to give out birth control pills they should send out a letter to every parent and have them sign up for the pills if they want their child to have them, and have every girl to see their gynecologist.

[MissFits]

Tested for what?

When I get birth control they don't test me. They just give it to you and if it makes you sick then you get another kind.

Or just have every girl to see a doctor or their gynecologist. I didn't mean to say test.

Haha.That's cool, I never thought of that.

[*jeanna*]

Haha.That's cool, I never thought of that.

yeah nothing like popping out condoms like candy

[xCutUpAngelxxx]

^ Well, would you rather have a bunch of kids getting pregnant?

[ashxx69xbaby]

i have no idea how many junior high girls that are pregnant.... if they are sexualy active then they should be on birth control but with the parental guidence and permission first but if they 'rents dont know they might go behinde the 'rents back and get the BC.... on the flip side if these schools will take time out to actually see that there are young ones haven sex they should take that into consideration about the schools sexual education... if they teach kids in like junior high school PRACTICE SAFE SEX.... hell give em damn effen BIRTH CONTROL and throw CONDOMS at em... teach these kids whats its like to have a kid at the age of 10 or 13... they are just kids themselves.... why make a kid wen you have to still relie on your 'rents to take care of you?? srsly this sexual education now a days are wacked up soo much.... thy dont teach these ne thing but about STDs, HIV, & AIDS.

There's no such thing as safe sex. Everyone might as well go out like Tung and go on one night stands without a condom. + He's still clean.

[hypnotique]

Are you Catholic? If not, you should look into it; it might be the right religion for you.

HAHAHA

Damn.
I got no defense for that.

Or do it like arjuna and not do it at all.

You mean "abstinence-only" programs. Which do not work. At all. Sex-ed advocating same sex and sex-ed that's abstinence-only produce around the same number of kids having sex. Except, abstinence-only students are more likely to practice unsafe sex because they never were really taught the importance of contraception.

The education system really has to step up their sex-ed programs. Many places get pressured to abandon sex-ed because parents are like... "It's out job to teach our kids about sex." But they don't end up doing it. They just go "Sex is bad. Don't have it. Listen to your Mama."

I fully support condom distribution but not birth control. They are still middle school students that are starting puberty.

And just because you get condoms doesn't mean you'll suddenly have sex. It's like saying getting the means to do any thing means you HAVE to do it.

Well, if teen girls get pregnent and have kids, it's their responsibility. They should suffer for:

a.) Being stupid (aka not having protection).
b.) Being a whore (having so much sex that a condom broke/etc.)

It's just a pity that the child will have to suffer too.

[kryogenix]

The best type of birth control is common sense.

[dannyordinary]

I don't mind it. it's better than them having babies, and
not going to school, since they are gonna f**k eventually.

I hope you know... that you only use a condom ONCE. Which means, that if it breaks, it breaks. It's made of thin rubber. It's not like she's having sex 43958734503245 times with one condom.

...

And... how is a or b relevant to this? When the point of this is debate is whether or not to provide protection so we can prevent A or pregnancy or STIs/STDs.

I don't think anyone deserves an unwanted pregnancy but they have to take responsibility, however they really see fit.

And your morals are really outstanding. I want the girl to suffer, even if the baby does too, but i want the girl to suffer.
