whether or not condoms should be distributed in schools.
If the aim is to firstly encourage kids to not engage in sexual intercourse as there are dangers associated with unprotected sex...then the distribution of condoms is not it.
When I look back on my time in school 12 years through school leaving age...I remember some of my friends - girls and boys and myself engaging in having sex...but my recollection is that having of sex usually occurred as spontaneous actions. Sure there were times when "we went out and sought 'it"...but not often. In fact, it was certainly for me and most of my friends usually the 'farthest thing from our minds'.
Why then were we not having sex frequently?
One thing comes to mind - We were otherwise engaged in things we enjoyed or willingly undertook - time with family, with family members, school, church, sports & games, chores, doing homework and other organised activities.
Yes kids will given 'down time' and being in enviroment where 'privacy' ...i.e. being left alone for prolonged periods where attention span wavers i.e. doredom with 'wholesome activities' occur and attention turns to 'boy/girl intimacy'...'have' sex.
From personal experience - When I was first introduced to...first few times of having sex...I was not even sure what was going on. I have often wondered...and am on the side of believing that kids are usually introduced to having sex by an older child who had been earlier introduced to the activity.
I have not a clue what happens with kids today as they are left alone to own devices much more than when I was a child.
My suggestion would be greater planning by those who are parents, guardians and other authority figures to channel the young into using as near as possible 100% waking hours on interesting wholesome organised activities. Keep the kids focused on those interesting organised wholesome activities and there should be little time...and or little thought of going off on 'sex-capades'.
My kids are all adults now...perhaps, I need to consult them on what was the norm as they saw it when they were 12 through 18?
One thing I can say they are all good kids. ..but I have not a clue if they at anytime had sex during those years. I never saw anything that suggested they were so engaged...but on looking back I was conditioned to not expect them to be so engaged and therefore was not focused on looking for signs of such activitiy ...and up until typing this I just assumed they all never did (I am now wondering on that).
???????
Anyway my whole point is to minimise the incidence of kids having sex they should be given 'tons' of organised interesting wholesome activities.
My position: I do not think condoms should be handed out in schools.
...however, if the authorities so decide that they are to be handed out, that should be the last 'post' to make passionate appeal for the kid(s) to reconsider...and be persauded to 'forggetaboutit' at that time!

The media reports of the carrying-ons of some of our school kids to me appears 'unreal'! Extremely hard to believe - Has me wonderig if "dem rite-tid"?
