Don't do it because everybody else does it. Make sure you wait until that inner voice of yours says it's right. Now, I don't want people to engage in sex too early. But if teens decide they're going to be sexually active, I say go and be protected. I want to see health clinics in junior highs and high schools, not sex clinics.
Health clinics can give out contraceptives when indicated, but in private.
I don't want that tenth grader, Betsy, if she goes in for condoms, the whole school has to know. Maybe she went in there because she had a headache. And I don't want school employees to hand out condoms as if they were balloons. Scare techniques don't work. They've been tried.
