[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]

Quite frankly, I’ve had the sex talk, we’ve discussed the risks of pregnancy and std’s and i have made them aware of my personal views that having sex with someone with whom you are not ready to have a child (note that i do not say that the point of sex is to have a kid, merely that this is one of the more obvious outcomes) is really effing stupid.  And obviously if they are too immature to buy condoms, they’re too immature to have sex.

If they choose to disregard all of those warnings, you are right in that I can’t stop them, but unfortunately the consequences are on them.  I am NOT buying them condoms, because I do NOT approve of them having sex while still in high school.  Just like I am not going to buy them alcohol even though lot of high school kids drink.[/quote]
