Since 50% of teen pregnancies are due to using no contraceptives, why not give it to them with their school breakfast everyday ? I mean..go beyond telling them. Actually GIVE IT TO THEM everyday.
Then just educate them on disease transmission.
Schools are practically doing everything but handing out the pill to girls so why not take that step and do it ?
The majority don't mind them having sex at such a young age but still want teen pregnancy prevented.
Education only goes so far..can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink.
I agree, but that always does not happen with most teens. It's better to actually give the options over sticking your head in the sand.
That's why I'm a Libertarian. Better to take responsibility for your own actions than to be bailed out for your mistakes. Your approach is absolving the teens of responsibility

It behooves the mind. I wonder what excuses we're gonna be given? I have a feeling one of the main reasons from the boys are "I don't like the feeling of condoms"

How is having protected sex not being responsible?

Well the options aren't working out so well so why not take the next step..give all girls 12 and older "the pill" at school ? Or is that crossing the line ?

Im iffy with the pill since family complications are something a teen might not know about when trying to get on BC. But i mean its legal with no real restrictions in 36 states so technically with a doctor on staff you could do it.
Because you can still get the girl pregnant it's scientifically proven birth control is not 100% effective
Of course it's not 100 percent. But the fact is they are still exhibiting a higher level of maturity then someone who doesn't use it, so i fail to see how denying them easy access is going to help them.
So for those opposed, what is the correct age to give students condoms?
