[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a private school that for a homework assignment requires kids to go to a local CVS and purchased condoms and provide the receipt to the teacher.
The point is - if you are uncomfortable buying condoms - you might want to think twice about if you are ready to have sex.

I know many will talk about the injustice of the assignment - but if nothing else, it gets the kids talking.[/quote]

On that note, I made my son do this when he was a young teen. If I remember correctly I think I made him buy condoms and tampons while I watched from the aisle to ensure he did it. He wasn't embarrassed and didn't care but I wanted to make sure. I also had condoms available in the bathroom cabinet and had many discussions about birth control. The discussions were not like I hope you don't do that but if you do, but more like I expect you will be doing this and taking precautions needs to be part of the plan. With that said I didn't allow private time with girlfriends in my house during high school.

Had I had a girl I would have put her on the pill or IUD to "regulate her period." I wouldn't want any teenage carelessness getting things off track for my kid [/quote]

I would never lie to my kid and say she needed to be on the pill to "regulate her period." Getting on the pill too young for an extended period of time can compromise your future fertility. I know a woman that was put on the pill to regulate her period. It took her ten years of secondary fertility to conceive her second child. If you are going to put your child on the pill/IUD, at least be honest about the side effects.[/quote]
