Do you think the government should let our middle school's hand out condom's an birth control to pre-teen's.

I think it should be the parent's choice an not the school's...





all the school's are doing is saying to our children is ';Don't have sex'; But then again ';here's a rubber an birth control an have fun..Do you think the government should let our middle school's hand out condom's an birth control to pre-teen's.
I think birth control should be available. They have already decided to have sex. Birth control should be there.Do you think the government should let our middle school's hand out condom's an birth control to pre-teen's.
from what I have heard in the media, there's no connection between the availability of birth control and the increase in sexual behavior in these age groups...what is increasing is sex without the availability. so my answer is YES!
I think condoms are fine to hand out. They lower the chances of a person contracting an STD in addition to being birth control. I don't agree with giving preteens birth control pills. Preteens have a mind of their own. If they have decided they want to have sex they'll do it, even if it is not in a safe way. I'd rather they are told the risks and ways to lessen the risks by any mature, responsible adult so they take the appropriate measures. You can't force a preteen to consult with their parents, even though that would be ideal. A parent should be concerned about their child being safe in whatever decision they make, even if it is not a decision with which they would agree.


Just because the school is giving out condoms doesn't mean a person is going to have sex. They gave them out when I was in school and none of my friends took the school up on it. We all remained virgins into adulthood (20s). Our parents instilled a good value system in us at home, as well as talking to us about uncomfortable topics, which we took with us into the community. Parents who make this kind of an effort can trust their children to make the right decisions when they are not around.





And a note to the person who wondered who would pay for the condoms being distributed...isn't it cheaper for us as taxpayers to pay for condoms than to help support a young mother and baby on welfare/medicaid?
not in middle school but in high school birth control should be handed out. middle school is way to extreme.
yes they should if parents wont take the time to educate there kids and tell them this is how you protect yourself who esle is going to teach them there friends kids are having sex at a younger age now so why not have the school had out condoms and birth control i rather my kid have and know what it for then come home telling me there having a baby or have an STD
I don't think it's the Schools place to give it out.And Who would pay for it? Another expense for tax payers.I think that they should be taught about birth control at school.They can go to the store and purchase their on.
yes i do because kids thees days are so much different fro me back when no matter how well you have raised them they are going to be pure pressure and there friends are going to influence them so much that it would be safer for them . all so even if the child didn't get influenced easal it would still be better on a girl if she was on birth controll for regular and lighter period's and you never no when someone could try to hurt her she wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant its all scary and disgusting to think about but its a different world out there for are kids and i would rather take all the safe ways i can and the schools are not just saying here go have sex there telling them the right things there just trying to help other kids who parent don't care
Hopefully parents are in good communication with their children and know what is going on in their life. But this is not always the case. Be vigilant and protective of your children, but let the schools help take care of the kids who's parents don't care, or can't get through to them. The kids who are going to have sex will have sex no matter what the schools teach, so I think it is okay that the schools are helping to protect these kids.





My girls are still babies, and I hope that when they grow up we will be close enough to talk about these matters together, but if they won't talk to me and come to me for advice, I am glad that the schools will help.





If they are going to do it, I would rather them be having sex protected from disease, than having sex with nothing.
