Debate: Should condoms be made available in high schools?
Side: No

Ooooo I sense some condescention! Lets address your counterpoints.Are you actually advocating thievery? Yes. If your good enough to steal it, its yours. What is property anyway? You are a revolutionary! Quick, take your idea to the news, so that they might educate the ignorant masses of this amazing new idea!Abstinence only education does not work. I never claimed to be a revolutionary because abstinence is not a revolutionary idea, but that does not take away from the merit of my argument. Would society be better if teenagers practiced abstinence? I think it would, can't have a baby if you don't have sex. But as i said, I would be naive to believe that ignoramuses would be open to the ideaThere are more choices than abstinence, or have a baby. We are talking about contraceptives, after all. You are correct. But condoms do break, so what do you do then? Abortion perhaps? But there is much controversy about that as well. There are also a lot of crazy females who seek to sort of "trap" their partner into commitments by breaking the condom before its used. I understand the other side of this issue but I do not see a very obvious flaw being addressed. If the issue is that people do not want more of their money taken for public health, then what happens when teenagers do not have easier access to condoms, don't use them as often, and STDs and pregnancies are more common? The alternative is far more expensive. Actually, my issue is peoples money being used for things they dont support. Yes, high school girls getting pregnant is a problem. So therefore we should use public schools to solve the problem? How ridiculous. It's one thing to use peoples money to fund the government to protect the rights of people, its another to use it for things that there is a clear divide on.Condoms are generally uncomfortble, and sure there are some brands out there that make it feel like you're not wearing one, but can we expect the schools to provide this? - meWhy not? why not? because they can barely afford decent textbooks or teachers for that matter, or provide a quality education. If that doesn't shed any light, I don't know what to tell youBut it is just as naive, if not more so, to believe that the schools can fix this problem. Providing easier, anonymous access to contraceptives, combined with comprehensive sex education, would help. Schools are capable of doing this. And how do you know it would help? Have you done extensive research on the subject? Schools arent even capable of educating our children properly, but yet you want them to give them a "comprehensive sex education"? What does that entail exactly? Will they be teaching them positions as well? Parents need to start giving their kids the talk, and not schools. If parents neglect to do this, then the cost their child may incur is the responsibility of everyone. MAY being the key word here. Parents who wish their children to only practice abstinence are still free to raise them in a way that encourages such a procedure. Easily accessible contraceptives just ensure that a child who disobeys is not permanently afflicted with a disease or a child because of it. That falls under the personal responsibility categorySo basically what I'm gathering here is that you believe that the schools should provide condoms to teenagers because it would provide a safety net. Well, let's say schools do end up providing condoms for their students. Who is actually going to use them? The reason they don't is just as I already pointed out, they're uncomfortable. Everyone I know doesn't use them for that reason, hell I don't use them for that reason.
