Should all High Schools in America be allowed to dispense Condoms? Why or Why not?

Question

Somebody debated this topic in speech i was both for AND against it... it's a challenging one huh? what ya'll all think though?

Answer 1

Being that I was a teenager once, I would say that yes they should be dispensed whereever sexually aware teens might be!
Being that I am a mom of 2 teenagers, PLEASE MAKE CONDOMS AVAILABLE TO SEXUALLY AWARE TEENS!

I do not condone sex for my children, and hope they wait until they are in a committed and loving relationship. But I live in the real world, and I want them to live through any sexual relationship they may encounter. The shoulds and should not's are all well and good, but sex can kill these days so please make safety the priority!

Answer 2

You betcha. Most high school teens won't get them the traditional way (in supermarkets or pharmacies) out of embarassment or fear that someone who knows them (or worse yet, knows their parents) will see them. Chances are most of the condoms that get sold from schools will just be wasted: Stretched over doorknobs and the like. But the ones that DO get used? That makes it worth it. Teens have hormones, and hormones will make them do strange things--like want to have sex, for example! They're going to do it. Face it and deal with it. But if they had the means to do it safely, we might have one or two less STDs spread around, or a few less pregnant teens. I'd say that makes it worth doing.

Answer 3

australian intense colleges furnish condoms after intercourse guidance training yet no longer an ongoing furnish. ok this is clever to sell secure intercourse yet colleges seem to concentration on the actual variations of having intercourse and the outcomes. they do no longer communicate the emotional outcomes of being sexually energetic. some youngsters get into relationships and can't cope with person situations. some would experience forced into intercourse. peer rigidity to have intercourse. providing condoms is basically 0.5 the subject solved IMO.

Answer 4

Yes, they should. If the students are going to have sex, they are going to have sex whether the condoms are available or not(It's not like they are difficult to get, anyway), so it is prudent to have the condoms easily accessible. This does not encourage sex--it encourages safe sex. There's an important distinction between the two.

Answer 5

yes. i think that teens are going to do it anyway,so why not make it more accessible to be safe. i know i did it anyways - and thank god i didn't get pregnant or catch a disease. but - lots of teens do,and i think they should have the option of protection available as easily and discretely as possible.

Answer 6

I think schools should not be allowed to dispense condoms. That teaches kids that it's okay to have sex outside marriage when really, it's not. People who have sex before they get married are far more likely to get divorced, commit adultery, or be just plain dissatisfied in their marriage. Schools need to teach that sex is for marriage alone, and it's NOT okay to be having sex with every other flavor of the month they hook up with. And even if you feel that sex before marriage is fine, schools STILL shouldn't dispense condoms because if kids are going to have sex, they need to be responsible about it for themselves. They need to get their own condoms.

Answer 7

Yes, they should, because if there aren't condoms there, we'll have sex anyway and get pregnant/contaminated with AIDs/lucky.

Answer 8

Absolutely not. It is not the role of government to prevent pregnancy or STDs. It's called personal responsibility.

Answer 9

I was going to say something along the lines of what Jack said, but since he already said it, I won't bore you with repetition.
