Should middle schools give out condom
[ ] Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category? Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
Truthfully, I think yes. I mean the kids are going to do it either way and I think it would be way smarter to educate them and give them the means to protect themselves. You can't really stop it if they are going to do it, so you might as well give them the tools they need to be safe in doing so.
Kids are having sex younger and younger, and if they can't get condomns then they are probably going to have unprotected sex, which puts them at a very high risk of contracting an STD or getting pregnant. Society promotes sex everywhere, so we might as well promote the ways to prevent the spread of STD's and pregnancy as well. We should educate the younger children, give them someone to talk to, and a means to get protection. If they are going to have sex, I would prefer they use protection and be educated rather than jumping in and screwing up royally.
Again this is really an opinion question and would be based on the certain communities response to the situation

Well, since it's illegal to buy them until you're 16 (in the US, anyway), I would have to say no. I highly doubt there are any 16 year old middle schoolers.
Then again, if the parents vote on it and give their permission, I guess there's no reason not to.
We can only educate young kids so much before they decide for themselves what they want and how far they'll go to get it.
Better to have them protected than not.
Some may argue that offering condoms will entice them, make them feel we are telling them it's okay.
I don't see that as the case. I see giving out condoms as telling people to have safe sex...
