of the question and preventing sexual diseases or STD information was never offered. Because they did not offer this information, I believe that that is why so many students ended up with teenage pregnancies since they were never told where to get condoms or how to talk about sexual activity with their parents or an adult.

The quote is, “if my own 16-year-old daughter tells me she’s going to be sexually active, I would not tell her to use a condom”, which may be one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever heard. What parent, who knows that their child may become sexually active, would rather have them risk getting a STI or getting pregnant, just because they do not want to…

argue that it is not the school 's job to give out contraception; but that parents should decide when their kids should have access to birth control methods. A principal from a school in Gainesville, Florida banned school nurses from handing out condoms stating, “I just don 't believe it is the responsibility of the school system to do that...I just don 't believe we should cross that line.” (Jester). In an article regarding the birth control program in Baltimore, many parents said they deserved…
