Condoms?!?

Yes, condoms. At least for one school.

A school in Arizona has voted to put condoms in a goodie bag they will be handing out at prom. The bag will contain balloons, candy, pictures frames and condoms.

It’s widely known that many people have sex after prom. Sometimes for the first time. Prom is the one night some parents let their kids stay out all night. A few parents even get hotel rooms for their student and their friends. But, even with this fact, should schools be providing students with condoms?

On one hand, if kids are going to have sex anyway it’s best that they protect themselves. Many teenagers think they are ready for sex, yet don’t have the nerve to purchase condoms at the store. So maybe they would be more apt to have safe sex with condoms in their goodie bags.

But I’d rather see schools trying to find activities to sponsor fun instead of sex. Many schools have after prom parties with non-alcoholic drinks, snacks and fun games and prizes. Some of the prizes at our local schools are pretty darn good prizes, like a television. From what I’ve seen in our community these after prom parties have gotten pretty popular and kids have a lot of fun at them. I would prefer the school to spend money on a post party rather than on condoms.

What do you think?
