Should condoms be distributed in high schools without parents permission>?
or is it just none of the parents buisness and were all grown and its our body?
what do u think?
need to know what you guys think!!!!
Im writing a paper on th subject .....and need sum opinions.
should parents be informed of what goes on in the schools?
does giving condoms to students, mean they will go and have sex?
is it better if they have protected sex than unprotected sex?
or is no sex good and the only way to go.....NO CONDOMS NO IDEA OF SEX!!!!!!
out of sight outa mind.
do u think Students in schools where condoms were easily accessible did not perceive them to be so - any more than students where there were no condoms.
An increase in reported sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV/AIDS, among adolescents has prompted many communities to take action to protect their youth. One proven method is to provide comprehensive sexuality education along with school based programs that make condoms available to sexually active youth. Numerous national health organizations have adopted policies in support of school condom availability as a component of comprehensive sexuality education.WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!!!!!!

well I think those who really think that no condoms means no thoughts of sex or no sex or less sex....are in denial.
condoms should only be available/distributed with proper sex education. Like what can happen with unprotected sex, what can happen if protection fails, that the only 100% from STD's and pregnancy is no sex. But if you have sex, better be packing. Also, that each person has a right to say no and draw their boundaires. EVERYTIME, regardless of the nature of the relationship.
Just my opinion.

I think it highly depends on the school and the social attitudes or development around the school.
My high school and the nearby middle school definitely could have used one. When I was a senior, 14 (!) freshman girls had babies, and 3 freshmen girls were pregnant (the freshmen class was only about 130 students); 8 Senior girls were pregnant, and 5 had babies (my graduating class was comprised of 89 students). And we were all taught about risks, dangers, STDs and etc. Our sex education classes were very thorough.
I remember asking one girl why she didn't use a condom, and her answer was simple: "Cause I couldn't get one, my parents won't buy them for me". And I think that's a common thought.
But there are other schools with virtually no incidents of teenage parents, or very, very few in comparison. These schools may not even benefit from condom dispensers.
And I do think the parents should know about them - but I don't think it should be up to them - not solely. Perhaps a meeting between the Boards of Education, the parents, the teachers, and the students collectively could decide together. Then they could research their area, compare it to similar areas to see if there is a trend, and come to an agreement. For example, they might not want dispensers available, but having a Health Ed. teacher with a stock of them gives students a safe person to go to when they need one without feeling judged, and could put parent's minds at ease that someone knows what's going on.

I think it should be condoms in H.S. because the will have the chance get them if them are going to have sex. This will cut down teens having babies are a young age. At this time and day kids are having sex without the perents knowing that they are having sex. Why not let the schools pass them out to the students.
