| If a high school provides condoms to students, should parents be allowed to opt out so the student cannot receive condoms until they turn 18? |
| Sure. Unsafe sex for all! |
| Rubbers should be given at 7the grade to be honest |
| Ya’ll are crazy - making them accessible is one thing but just giving them to everyone is taking it a litttle too far. |
Agree. |
Yep. |
| Where/how are they being handed out? |
| Which would you rather your child have-- a condom or a baby? Or a condom or an STI? |
So? If you don't like it teach you're kids that they need to be on your timeline for sex. Otherwise MYOB. I would prefer my kids wait but sexual relations happens and I want them to be prepared. |
Yup. |
+1 |
School officials don't stuff them in kids pockets. They are available in the nurses office to any student. I have a feeling that you have an awfully dumb kid who is providing you with info or you are a troll. |
| No. Because it's exactly the kid whose parents are opting out who will probably need them most. |
I'd prefer my child have self control. It's not hard. |
If this is not so hard, then this should be a non issue for you and your child. Condoms are available. Drugs are available as is unlimited icecream in the cafeteria. It is YOUR job as the PARENT to have a conversation with YOUR child about sex and contraception. It is perfectly acceptable for the school to have condoms available to all kids, but YOUR job as the parent to teach your kids your values and make choices based on your beliefs. The average age an American looses his or her virginity is 17, with girls being slightly below that average and boys slightly above that average. You make YOUR family choices and instill YOUR values based on available info and reality. We dont need the school policing a list of who can grab a condom and who can't. That's just silly. Nobody is forcing these condoms into kids pockets. |
