| Choice free condom issued by the Government: source |
My answer to this question is that; yes condoms should be distributed in high schools. We as a society need to face the reality that high school pupils are having sex inside the school premises without using protection. Let us forget about the law that is prohibiting 16 years old from having sexual intercourse and deal with this issue.
The distribution of condoms in high schools is causing a legal snag because the law prohibits 16 years old from having sexual intercourse. I do not understand this how can the law prohibits 16 years old from having sexual intercourse and then allow 12 year old to have abortions. Do you think that this is a valid reason or it is just an excuse not wanting to provide condoms to high school pupils?
The soon-to-be-launched Integrated School Health Programme. In high schools, I think that it is a good idea that needs to be taken into consideration fast. The reason why I am saying that this is a good initiative is because the pogramme is going to offer a basket of services which including HIV counseling and testing, education on sexual and reproductive health, and the provision of condoms for the high school pupils.
Our high school pupil’s need this programme and the government should consider changing the law before it is too late.
i agree with you condoms should be distributed because high school pupils are already engaging in sex so by educating and at the same time giving them we are telling them to be protected all the time
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with the point that you have made that the distribution will teach them to protect theselves when having sex.
DeleteYes condoms should be distributed to schools because our kids already now more about sex and the distribution will help decrease the number of teenage dropouts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the distribution of condoms in high schools will help to prevent a lot of things that are affecting our teenagers.
DeleteIts high time we became realistic and provide condoms to these pupils if we want to see them continuing with school and not dropping out because of unwanted preganancies and abortions because the truth of the matter is that high school kids know more about sex than we think and yes they are practising it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you we as a society need to face the fact that high school pupils are aready having sex and by the distribution of condoms we will be preventing a lot of problems that they will face if they do not use protection.
DeleteYes condoms should be distributed because we are already facing a big challenge.If we leave this issue unattended therefore there will be no children in SA because Aids and other negative results of unprotected sex will destroy and kill them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you if we do not act to this problem we are destroying our youths future because it seems like they are not afraid of anything even if they are putting they lives at risks.
Deleteif we distribute condoms to high schools,i think indirectly we are prompting sex in high schools,take an exampl,if i am from a cape tree organisation,and i start distributing apples in each and every class in your enviroment waht will you do when you recieve that apple?
ReplyDeleteI am obviously going to eat that apple but the distribution of condoms is to teach them to protect themselves when they are having sex not to promote them to have sex.
DeleteMy answer is no,the government should distribute books not condoms as school premise is a place for learning.
ReplyDeleteI agree with schools are premises for learning not for having sex but the fact is that 70% of sexually activities take place inside the school, during school hours so why not protect them by giving them condoms.
DeleteIf high school pupils want condoms, why don't they go to clinics? The only thing that schools can do is teach sex education whereby there is encouragement of going to clinics, and to also promote abstinance.I think that for school children to be afraid of going to clinics is proof enough that they are not matured enough to have sex. Full stop.
ReplyDeleteYou have made a valid point that needs to be taken to consideration but the problem is that school pupils are embarrassed to go to clinics and fetch condoms so we were trying to make things easier for them.
