Yeah.. But I'd want them to be, at the very least, 14.

of course

Of course.

Absolutely. With schools pushing the abstinence only crap parents need to communicate with their kids, give them the information they need, etc.

Yes

Hell yeah I am not ready to be a grandparent yet,and I don't want my kid catching anything.

Wouldn't want my teen having sex, but he they would I want them to be safe.

I think this is implied, but you obviously have a long conversation and don't just give out the condom. Sex ed in school is helpful but not always taken seriously.

I don't want kids, but I'm happy to see that the majority of responses to this poll is "of course!"

I absolutely would and i would tell them id rather you have sex under my room than anywhere else. You know us crazy teens. if we have no where to go we will have sex in the car n that means risking getting caught. set limits tho if they see your cool with it they might over use the privilage.

Def. would!! Better safe than sorry!

Safe sex is fun sex!

I can only see terrible consequences if you don't give them condoms quite frankly.

I don't have kids yet but I definitely plan on being proactive with safety!
(haha I know having your mom talk about this stuff kills the mood like no other so muahahaha!!)
I know a lot of people that wished their parents had sat them down, given them a condom, and given them the talk. It's better to be safe than sorry for sure!

Er yes, obviously
They are hormone ridden teenagers -snicker-
Just because the adult expects them not to be sexually active doesn't mean it's going to happen. -shrug-

No way!

they are going to have sex whether we tell them to or not. might as well be safe.

Yeah I'd give condoms to my teenager, if I had one. I offered to buy condoms for my little brother when I suspected he was sexually active. It was one of those "If you're too embarrassed to go buy them, I'll get some for you. Which is still embarrassing but one way or another you're going to get condoms."

I'd give my teen a box of them! I'm still only 20 myself, but I know a lot about teens, I was one and I am studying to be a high school educator. It may be awkward for you and your son to come together and actually talk about condoms, but it needs to be done. I'm not sure, as I am not actually a parent yet, when I might find it necessary to give the condoms. For some teens, sex isn't even what they are thinking about yet, but others will be sneaking it before you realize. Opening up a trusting relationship will allow your child to come to you for a lot more than just a condom in the long run.

Perhaps if your kid is old enough, simply ask if he thinks he will need them one day when you have the time to discuss sex with him. Even if he's not going to use them right away (which would be a relief for a parent) they are good for years and its easier to talk before that day comes than to walk up to your parent and say you are actually about to be sexually active. Either way, teens are much happier knowing they don't have to sneak around just to get a condom.

if it's going to make the teen uncomfortable, i would try to get someone diff to. but one way or another i'd make sure they had some even if i didn't really think they were having sex
