[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t need to be 21 to buy condoms. Using condoms can’t kill someone if you get behind the wheel. Stop comparing apples to oranges. [/quote]

If they’re not mature enough to get their own condoms. Whether that be from the counselors office at school, or asking for a store employee to unlock the antitheft case and then have the cashier ring them up—then they’re not mature enough for sex.[/quote]

This is exactly my view as well.[/quote]

You’re missing the part where plenty of kids are doing it anyway. So the question is this:

If your kid elected to disregard your advice and counsel and have sex, would you like him or her to have protected sex or unprotected sex?  I assume we can agree even if every parent said not to, some kids will anyway. Should those kids have control over their own bodies and have protection if that is their wish and desire? Or, should those kids assume all risks of STDs and pregnancy because they failed to heed their parents’ warning AND failed to buy their own condoms?[/quote]

It’s not advice or counsel. It’s a strict boundary. If you know where your kids are, who they’re hanging out, and what they’re doing. And have also explained STDs and pregnancy and made clear that if the latter happens their life/goals are done for because they’ll have to take care of a child, and if your kid isn’t a fool, that should be enough. [b]And for the vast majority is enough.[/b]

On top of that, if I had a girl I’d have no issue getting her BC pills from her doctor. Since those have the added benefit of helping regulate hormones and lessening PMS symptoms. And it’d just be smart.

But I’m not giving sons condoms, nor would I give them to a daughter. That’s essentially just saying “alright here just incase, but you still shouldn’t…” *wink wink*[/quote]

Over half the kids have had sex by 18. Let me guess, all of them came from parents without strict boundaries. 100% of the half who abstained had strict boundary parents. Wink wink
