why shouldn't all teenagers get a diaphrams so they don't get pregnant?

Question

the world would have less population but they wouldn't drop out of school just to have a kid. they wouln't have to stop having intercourse and also wouln't have an baby!

Answer 1

diaphrams aren't the answer. These teens have to be properly fitted and then have to actually remember to use them. The problem is lack of real sex education.

Answer 2

I think an mandatory IUD is a good idea for people who don't have the will power to abstain from it. I know too many teen girls, a lot of them I knew personally, who would have sex thinking they would never get pregnant and they did and regretted it. I have to say the STD rate would probably shoot through the roof, and condoms can't protect against some of them not to mention diaphrams won't protect against any of them. AIDS is a prime example. How about abstinence? I promise it is possible.

Answer 3

Let's think about your question for a minute. You're "solution" to not getting pregnant is to "fix" all teenagers of becoming pregnant. That way you can get laid all day long and not have to worry about the consequences of your actions. Wouldn't it be great if the world worked this way....

My answer to you is this: if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Basically, if you can't handle the fact that you might become a parent for an hour or so of pleasure, then start using your hands...

Answer 4

Why not give them free condoms? Oh wait.. those are available. There is no good answer to this question. Hubby and I got pregnant when I was 17 and he was 19. I stayed in school and had our baby and he went on to finish college. I had birth control pills (Didn't take them) and hubby had condoms (didn't use them). We knew the consequences and didn't care too much. Teens will do what they want to do. Besides what about protecting them from STD?

Answer 5

Even if it happened, it doesn't mean they would use it. I think most teenagers are perfectly well aware of their birth control options and simply ignore them. I mean how hard is it to use a condom? While we're on the subject, a diaphragm doesn't offer the std protection that a condom does. Also, you are placing all of the responsibility on the girl for birth control. Its a two way street.

Answer 6

Condoms are MUCH better for various reasons
Problems with diaphragms:
1. Failure rate for diaphragms is relatively high.
2. Women have to be comfortable with their bodies in order to use them correctly. Teenage girls are largely in the 'ick' phase.
3. They have to be fitted by a gyn.
4. Don't prevent disease.

Suck it up, be a man, and buy some rubbers.

Answer 7

Why shouldn't all teenagers be taught to respect their bodies and not to involve themselves in risky behavior? There should be more sex education with an emphasis on abstinence. Failing that they should be taught ways to protect themselves from some of the risks. Too much media exposure is teaching our teens that sex is a recreational activity. It is also very risky, causing many wrecked lives everyday. Too many people find themselves with unwanted/unplanned pregnancies and diseases that can't be cured with a shot of penicillin.

Answer 8

Because people still want to preach abstinence only, they do not wish to discuss safe sex practices. And besides...your idea is flawed in that a diaphragm is not very practical in preventing STDs.

Answer 9

All teenagers shouldn't have to get them because not all teenagers have sex!

Answer 10

because that way your encouraging teenagers to have intercourse
diaphrams are not 100% effective either

better sex education is what is needed!!!!
