Be Prepared
Quote From: coldfeatYou are unfortunately the exception to the rule with many kids today. You believe sex before marriage is wrong, and that is a good thing! I wish there were more kids like you! Your school sounds like they are a little more truthful in their sex ed program. Is your school's sex ed program abstinence based? or have you made your decision based on parental/church guidance? also did your school tell you that condoms are only about 85% effective in preventing pregnancy and STDs? I believe education is the best thing, but let's not lead these kids astray by telling them one thing (premarital sex is a bad idea) then turning around and giving them condoms. to me that makes no sense whatsoever.
I have no problem with giving out free condoms in the schools. Pre-marital sex, or any sexual relationship, is much more than an "idea," it is also a matter of hormones. We tell people when driving a car to wear a seat belt - not because we truely believe they will be in an accident but because we wish them to be prepared in case they are in an accident; just in case they should use poor judgment and go too fast around a curve. It seems to me that even the best intentioned can make a mistake, why should the pentality for that mistake be contracting an STD, some which can be life-threatening, or conceiving a child that is not truely wanted. Whether a person of any age has pre-marital sex is a matter of moral values coupled with their ability to control their emotions. Not an easy task even for those of a mature age, whatever that may be.
