Ok, I hope this is PG-13 but this isn't really nasty or supposed to be, but the question in the matter is:
Should condoms be distributed at school? Why or why not? (i.e.: to prevent pregnancies, STDs, etc.) What do you think? |

Yup I know that, there's always a chance, but if they pass it out at school, it reduces the chance of obtaining an STD...slightly *cough*

i think that they should be distributed because kids are having sex and they need some way to protect themselves. its bad enough that there are so many diseases out there and to have no protection then that would make it worse..plus it helps to decrease the amount of teen pregnancys...

Well if they want to say "practice abstinence, but use condoms if you must" then they should give them out, shouldn't they?

If they distribute condoms at school, that's SOMEWHAT saying that it's okay to have sex whilst young as long as you have a condom. I know, I know.. they're not seriously trying to send that message if they distribute them, but some people might get that idea and start to experiment around. The positive message is that condoms keep yah safe. That is very true. It's probably a hell of a lot easier for everyone to get a condom from the school, than going out and buying one at a drug store.. It's a good thing to teach kids.. the fact that condoms keep yah safe, and that you should use them when having sex. Personally, I think abstinence is the best condom..  .. if that made sense..

I'm undecided. On the one hand, it would be a good idea to lower STDs. On the other hand, I find it wrong to waste people's tax dollars because some kids are irresponsible. I think that each school should be free to make their own decision.

No it's saying sex exist.
It's like war. Saying that there should be rules of war is not saying that war's okay, it's acknowledging that war will always exist no matter what. |

If the school didnt distribute the condom, she would have gotten pregnant anyways QUOTE No it's saying sex exist. It's like war. Saying that there should be rules of war is not saying that war's okay, it's acknowledging that war will always exist no matter what. EXACTLY. They're accepting the fact that teenagers will still go ahead and have sex anyways, regardless of the fact that it's illegal and regardless of their parents restrictions.. so they might as well make sure the teens have protected sex |

They already have classes encouraging the "best sex" (as my Sex ed teacher was told to say) so condoms would further encourage sex in schools. Its ok to have sex but not mid- high school age or in that location... I mean ive heard of weird places to have sex but school isnt 1 of dem

It's not illegal for minors to have sex with each other. It's only illegal for a minor to have sex with an adult... At least that's the way it is in PA.
Either way, statutory rape is a victimless crime that enforcing laws against is definitionally harmful. It should be legalized. |
