It's probably not a good thing, but we have asked for it as a society. It's a desperate measure for a desperate situation. For years now parents have turned over their kids to the "visual baby-sitter" called a TV filled with sex, not really interacting with them and wonder why they get into trouble. It goes with the saying, "either take control of your life or someone else will". Well, I can tell you from my standpoint, that I'm damn tired of paying taxes and it going for food stamps and welfare to all these un-wed mothers. Of course we have always had un-wed mothers, but not in the numbers we have today. What's ironic is, many of the same people who don't want these kids to have birth control pills or condoms, are also against them getting an abortion, and will also ***** about the public support they will receive after the baby is born! Church support, forget it! Those hypocrites are too busy spending their contributions on building bigger churches or a gym or a new sound system. And the kids are going to have sex, you can bet on that. So since the parents aren't doing their job, the church isn't helping, the State and local government has no choice but to do something. And if a parent has a good honest relationship with their kids, then they won't have to worry about this. If any of you have any better ideas, I'm sure they would be willing to listen.

it is so incredably bad! To all you dumb, uneducated people, heres why. If you agree with this ridiculous rule, then you must've had sex at 7!!! I honestly dont't understand this mentalitly of "if they're gonna do it, then they should be protected." That is such you know what. Does that mean they should hand out baby blankets too!? Just in case they have the "urge?" Come on guys! Kids need to have some responsibility and self control for their actions! Believe it or not, not all kids will or SHOULD have sex when they are in 6th grade! Our culture is going down, way down, and it is because of this and dumb stuff like the HPV virus. Kids SHOULD NOT be having sex until they're mentally, and physically ready. And I don't care what kind of so called "mature" kid it is, because that's what they are, KIDS! They are not emotionally prepared for the aftermath of sex, no matter how many condoms or pills they have.These KIDS are in middle school, they should not even be THINKING about sex until they are much older, AT LEAST in High School for crying out loud! And where are these parents whose kids are having sex in middle school?! I'm sorry, but parents need to be parents NOT friends. They need to say no once in a while, and set restrictions. This is truly and utterly ridiculous.

Good, because getting pregnant too young can cause heart attack or stroke! When the age of consent in Canada & Mexico is as low as 12, we have to face facts that young people are having sex, and no amount of moralizing is going to do anything but get some unfortunate child killed.

i do no longer approve of youthful youngsters having intercourse -yet, i might lots fairly have each and every new child in u.s. have delivery administration fairly then having an abortion. Granted, in a acceptable international mothers and dads might and could take the accountability for his or her own little ones the two in training and with the intention that in the event that they test they use delivery administration. Edit: Nandina has a solid factor touching directly to the form of delivery administration, I actual think of that the tablet isn't the suitable factor to be dispensing to youthful girls human beings devoid of scientific supervision. on the different hand Latex condoms serve 2 purposes: delivery administration and a few secure practices from STD's. it is likewise important to deliver the message (this could be coming from mothers and dads) that being arranged and having a in charge physique of strategies in the direction of intercourse isn't the comparable as having permission to have intercourse.

They have no right to be giving it out like M&Ms with no parental consent...are they even giving the girls the medical exams necessary to determine if they are physically OK to take the pill?
No, kids that young should not be handed potentially dangerous medication from a school!!!

Bad Idea. Do the kids even tell their parents? I am telling you it is going to get really bad! Girls are going to be taking these pills without parent's notice?!

I think they should have parental consent but other than that its okay. It's better to be protected than be pregnant at 13 or 14!! So just look at it that way. I would rather be looked at as a 14 yr old on bc than a 14 yr old that is pregnant!!:)(:

Bad. Schools can't even pass out an asprin, but it's Ok to pass out birth control? Maybe they should just take in all those kids since they think they know how to raise them better than their parents do.

You have a lot of answers making it out that the kids do not know about sex. I am surprised that people can be so naive. I am quite sure that the school is not just passing them out like candy, or saying; "here it's okay now to screw your brains out". Someone made an analogy about teaching a kid to drive a car. My dad taught me how to drive at a young age, he also taught me when I could and could not drive.

Bad idea. The pill may prevent the girls from becoming pregnant but the it does not protect against other diseases. At this age they should be abstinent
