They were available when I was in high school. The fact is that they're probably going to do it anyway, so why make it safer.
Would you like the school to sent a weekly letter to describing how many condoms Johnny grabbed from the condom bucket? Where is this abortion stuff coming from?
These boys also need to understand that using condoms at the beach is a terrible idea. The sand turns them into an organ grinder.
Condoms are readily available at any general store for any kid that wants them... I don't see how putting them in the high schools will make the kids (that don't use them already) want to use them anymore... The problem (for me) isn't that they'll be readily available at school but the underlying premise and acceptance of sex out of wedlock that goes with it, from our school/local "leaders".
I think he was getting at the fact that abortions are being brought up in a thread about condoms at school...
In the case of the Buffalo schools and many others parents will be able to opt their kids out of the condom/sex ed program.
Honestly I think people just don't remember what it's like to be a 15-year-old boy. I can assure you that 99% of the time, they're not thinking about marriage in 10 or so years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I also don't get the whole wait till marriage idea either. Hopefully my children get married after grad school. And honestly I don't think waiting that long healthy or normal. Further more I don't feel it's smartest unknown variable to have between two people when we are talking about making a life time commitment.
The point I'm making is that providing condoms, or in this case facilitating an abortion is outside the scope of what the school system is in place for. The parents are the guardians of these children, they get to make decision for these children, not the school. The school is there to provide an education for these children and that is it. They should have a neutral stance on anything that isn't directly related to the children meeting the education requirement. We all know kids have sex, we also know many of them experiment in drinking and using drugs. Should the schools also provide a bucket full of clean needles for those that choose to shoot up?
I agree. Parents need to be proactive with their kids. Be open and honest and get them the help they need. Not the school.
Actually, that's not really true. Every state has an Age of consent. What is the Missouri Legal Age of Consent for 2015?
Lots of things are legal that I do not want my children to participate in. I feel as long as I am the parent I should decide what is right for my kids to participate in. I might even condone my kids having sex(doubt it), but the school should not play a part in the decision making process directly or in this case indirectly.
