So my school wants to make condoms readily available to all of us students.
It wants to kick off the grand opening with what can only be called as the Condom Charity. Where us students sit before pure wisdom (our administration) as it strolls on the stage explaining to us profound ideas, like what a condom is and why spermies shouldn't be allowed to roam freely. After the breakthrough, eye-opening speech where we all walk away with insight, we get condoms. Girls and boys alike. I wonder how they will deliver them to us. Maybe have a sort of Condom Parade where condoms are thrown about. Condoms galore! Fend for yourself! Everyone races to scoop up the little gifts, second to only that Easter parade.
I hear the girls are going to learn defensive techniques like the ol' stop-and-pull-out-a-condom maneuver when a guy comes on to them. Ouch! Sounds effective. But at least us students will be well equipped when we dabble in sexual intercourse, made readily available before being OK'ed by our public school. It's not like my parents are ever home or have any say in my life.
I'll be sure to stop by the school on Friday night and make sure my repertoire is fitting. Ridged or non-ridged?
But honestly.
Who are they kidding. Condoms are so accessible in general, if you're too shy to buy them from Hank in the drug store, being the one kid that isn't inflating the condoms or sticking them to the ceiling is going to be mighty obvious.
Give me my tax money back.

If free condoms can help to prevent even 1 teen pregnancy, it will be well worth it.
Oh, and btw, what will cost you more tax money, buying a couple thousand condoms (which are dirt cheap) or paying for welfare for the kids of these pregnant teens?
Well sure.
I can't see my sexually active classmates suddenly obtaining responsibility because they got some free wraps at school. When dropping a few dollars at the gas station wasn't already a routine practice, finding a condom at school is more of a "You can do it!" salute from administration.
EDIT: To add upon this, I'm not attacking premarital endeavors, but the unnecessary, futile attempts of my school to be progressive. Not salutary. Progressive.
Some kids dont bother to go out and buy them. If they happen to have condoms good if not oh well. This can help teen pregnacy a lot.
Dirt cheap?
Where you buy your condoms at?
The cheapest I have seen them is $10 for 12. Or maybe I'm just cheap. I would just think they would sale condoms for less.
I dont know I just know I end up spending $15 every other week it seems like.
Condoms are expensive too, I wish my school gave out free condoms.
Just came upon this blog and posting - wanted to respond immediately:
Yes, condoms are expensive (think about it: They are made for 2-3 cents EACH and are sold for over $1.00 each in most retail outlets). They are highly stigmatized and are, more and more, not even used for these - and a host of other- reasons. We created the Great American Condom Campaign - a DC-based non-profit organization to get top-quality condoms, for free, into the hands of anyone who wants them.
They are delivered directly to your door- by the hundred and by the month - for free. No strings attached. No financial commitments. No spam. Just condoms. We call it the Safesites program and it takes less than a minute to sign up for through our website (www.condomcampaign.org). The only thing we ask is that, once registered, you distribute the condoms to your friends, neighbors, and community as you best see fit. You know your social networks and your community better than any organization could ever hope to -- and you'll know the best way to get these important tool of a healthy and responsible lifestyle out there. We'll make sure you have them.
We just launched it in Washington, DC and UCONN and have already been inundated with students and campuses who are wanting to participate. Whether you are student or a non-student, Safesites works. Try it out - it's worth it.
