Should condoms be made available at schools?

Your making several huge extremely problematic assumptions in this post.

"Not ALL teens are going to disobey their parents wishes"

Your assuming having sex = disobeying parents wish. This is not a fair assumption to make in the slightest many, parents in this thread have shown a comprehensive approach to sex ed where "sex" is not equal to "disobeying" .

"totally throw out the window everything that has been taught to them."

This is again even worse having sex is not throwing "everything" out the window, have safe sex may in fact be putting exactly what the parents thought them into practice.

So lets give SOME of the teens out there some credit

Your again making a moralistic judgement that we aren't giving teens credit if we put condoms in schools, that again is "sex logic" it makes no sense. We are giving teens credit by assuming they will have safe sex, when giving the necessary tools. We wouldn't say giving adults free condoms is somehow not giving some of them credit we say we are giving those that wish to have them tools. The logic doesn't change when it comes to teens.

and no have condoms doesn't encourage teens to have sex, any more then seat-belts encourage reckless driving. Even if it did it again your personal moralistic judgment that this is a problem. An increase in teen safer sex with a reduction in teen pregnancy and STD is far better, then less sex but more STDs and pregnancy. Stopping teen sex in it of itself is not the goal of sex education. I refuse to even call any approach that looks at stopping teen sex as a goal in it of itself sex eduction, it isn't its "virginity protection". The assumption underlining the "they will have more sex" argument is that it better to protect the virginity of the minority then the health of the majority.

As someone who someday wants to adopt an infant and raise said child I will say YES!

I would prefer that condoms be provided, (or if the child is brazen enough to buy them themselves if it is legal to do so)... I WOULD RATHER THEY BE SAFE AND PRACTICE SAFE SEX!

I mean teens/ highschoolers having sex is pretty much inevitable no matter how much parents want to deny it, it IS going to happen with your child :/ thats the truth. BUT with this service, AT LEAST it is done safely

yes

I think they should

Definitely. Teens are more likely to get pregnant if condoms aren't available. Besides it would be weird asking a parent.

I think having condoms available to teens, who have sex regardless of what adults tell them, is a great idea, but if they are left out, some prankster would go through and poke holes in them all.

definitely!You know my son started 7th grade this year and first day he came home all upset because he hasnt had sex yet!!most of his friends had sex for the first time at the least! So condoms are necesary in schools..2 years ago in our high school we had 8 pregnant 15yr olds!Maybe it could of been prevented if condoms were offered.Also everyone is having sex with everyone with STDS on the rise..kids don't think it can happen to them but yet clamydia gonireah are some of the ones that have been at our schools.

Not just yes, but HELL yes. I got into so much trouble in high school when my parents found a condom receipt in my room. If I'd been able to get condoms at school, I wouldn't have had to go through two years of being called a slut just because my one, monogamous boyfriend and I decided to have safe sex.

Absolutely.
