Dude, alright i live in missouri and I went to a walgreens to purchase some condoms and i am 15. so i was at the check out and the lady said "i'm not going to sell these to you" and i said "uhm lady why not?" and she said "you are too young to be having sex and im not gunna sell these to you" then she put it in the bag to be put back on the shelf...so yah is that legal? (she lectured me for about a 1/2 hr on the subject so please dont lecture me as well

p.s. i rate for good answers

Well, as far as i know, she has no right to do that. I'm pretty sure that you that can even get condoms from the doctors clinic at that age. I think she was just giving you her personal opinion and therefore outstepping her limitations.
I mean, look at it this way, would an adult choose not to give you condoms and risk the fact that you might then go and have unprotected sex? You were doing the right thing, she wasn't. :)
