Definitions1.Rational-.agreeable to reason; reasonable; sensible: 2. condom-thin sheath, usually of very thin rubber, worn over the penis during sexual intercourse to prevent conception or sexually transmitted disease.http://dictionary.reference.com...Kids are having sex and deserve to have protection.It is very rational to allow children to have access to condoms. In a perfect world all our children would wait until marriage to have sex. In reality children are having sex faster than we can talk to them about the birds and the bees. We ought to be educating children about sex according to their age group. Here's what were facing....."an average 86 per cent of respondents, between ages 10-14, know that the disease was contracted and spread during sexual intercourse, only 34 per cent of them used a condom the last time they had sex."......there's not enough information to determine if the 34% of them actually using condoms is because of fear of embarrassment or limited access but the fact is children are having sex at a early age. These children need to have access to condoms to prevent Stds, and possibly pregnancies. If there was some unethical law requiring a minimum age, then children are going to have sex anyway and will b extremely at risk of pregnancy and std'shttp://jamaica-gleaner.com...counselors giving sexually active students condoms is justifiedDr. Eugene Beresin, a professor at Harvard University and director of training in child and adolescent psychiatry said this;....... "If kids are taught and have access to counseling, there's a better chance of abstinence being maintained and the risk of STDs is diminished," he said. But, he said, condom distribution should not be the "flagship" of sex education. "Let's face it," he said. "You can't stop kids from having sex if they want to. It would be great if they hold off, but we can't stop it. What we can do is improve responsibility. So while we have to be thoughtful about randomly distributing condoms in the first grades, sex behavior and its consequences are part of the lives of young teens through young adulthood." http://abcnews.go.com... Some people may say that giving condoms to children promotes promiscuity. First of all the child's going to be scared to go to the counselor in the first place so its not like schools are handing out condoms like lollipops. It’s not like along with their milk and school lunch, kids get a Trojan condom on their tray. That’s not what’s happening. Their only giving students condoms whom are sexually active and request them from a counselor. They are talking to them, educating them, and discussing the responsibilities of having sex before there giving these out. Witch is very reasonable. Allowing access to condoms will not promote sex no more than talking about suicide and awareness promotes suicide.To be honest, if your 10 or 11 year old is going to the school nurse to ask for a condom to have sex…you’ve pretty much already lost the first battle. Wouldn’t you rather know your “Little angel” has somewhere to go for protection if they want to hide it from you? Because the truth is, if kids really want to do it…they will do it. Conclusion Fact: Teaching abstinence doesn't guarantee abstinence, children are having sex at early ages, Girls start puberty early as 8 y.o,The pro of this debate is very rational because If we don't allow children to have access to condoms then besides the fact of there brain not making the best decisions at that age and their hormones going crazy, there constantly "in heat" so there going to have sex regardless of if you teach them about it or not. Knowing that we cant prevent someone from having sex, We ought to give them the tools to protect themselves from the possible life changing dangers of having sex. So it is rational to allow children of any age to buy condoms.
