Look, birth control and contraceptives are choices, not things that should be given out with no questioning. Schools do not have the right to pass them out, for it isn't really any of their business. Although there is an exception, when you are in high school taking sex-ed, because that is when teens become more aware. It is however sad the amount of middle and high schoolers who are affected by S.t.D.s and unexpected pregnancies, so protection is good for those who have chosen not to wait until marriage, but what would be better is prevention. Condoms and birth control cannot solve the sexual issues in this society. Besides, it can be extremely rude to those of us who are members to religions that may say to wait until marriage. If the school systems would really like to help, then they should help prevent NOT promote.
By the way I am in sixth grade and I wrote this because even us youngsters understand what a jeopardizing situation sex can be.

I'm also with that girl at the top. In my opinion, sex if for marriage. But I'm also a Catholic... but honestly, just because it might be 'inappropriate' i don't think there should be any reason that they aren't given out. Kids are going to do it whether their parents approve or not. I think that they might as well provide them. I mean, parents, would you rather have a pregnant daughter or teen dad on your hands? I really don't think it's a problem.

This is really sickening. Can't they just teach 12 year olds to wait for that instead of giving then contraceptives? And that is encouraging kids to have sex. It's putting the issue right out there on the table, showing that it is accepted and normal for middle schoolers to be doing that. It shouldn't be.
