Surveying of Condom Distribution in High School

Many questions and concerns have come about regarding this promotion of condoms being distributed in public schools. Will it lower teen pregnancy rates? Will condoms reduce sexually transmitted diseases? Will the distribution of condoms in public

Condoms should be given to middle schoolers because this access does not encourage them to have more sex at a younger age, it makes them more aware. Peaking in the early 1990s, teen pregnancy rates have declined 51 percent and teen births are down 61 percent, said Bill Albert of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancies. Many schools say that their kids participated in surveys to see if they have been sexually active during their middle school years. In the article by Larsen-Fleming, it pointed out that 8.5 percent of Oakland’s Unified seventh-graders

The variable “‘‘percent protected intercourse’’ by isolating the total number of condom protected vaginal and anal acts by total protected and unprotected vaginal and

While there were 20 students in total, we could only use 19 students pre and posttest information. On the chart, you can see it shows that seven out ten females chose condoms as a contraceptive and 7 out of 9 males wanted condoms and indicates that 3/10 women chose birth control, and 2/10 males chose birth control. Among race

Some high schools in large cities do distribute condoms to their students, just as many colleges all over the United States. Yet this should not be limited solely to college students and inner city high school students.

Of the 43,780 completed surveys, a total of 29,308 (66.9 %) were included in this analysis based on the above criteria. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations were calculated to characterize demographic information and sexual and other risky behaviors. Those with missing values or “not applicable” responses were excluded from the relevant analyses.

Although, (NIH, 2007) reports that condoms have reduce HIV Transmission by 87-95 percent. To get these African American male students from seeing it to exploring condom use as an option or a benefit is contemplation. However, a Condom Education Program is placed an inner city high school, whose population is 65 percent Afro-American male. NIH reported data is the goal of the program. The objective is by the end of the year, 45% of Afro American sexual active males are

You experience a terrible feeling in your stomach as you rush to open and proceed to put in on. Afterward, you noticed that the condom wasn't put on correctly and had ripped. The feeling in your stomach is worse than before. But, this can be prevented if teens were taught how to properly have safe sex and put on a condom. Using a condom is effective with preventing STDs and pregnancies 98% of the time. Imagine if all teens used condoms if they decided to have sex. And, if they were taught how. In the end, teaching teens how to use a condom in se education will reduce the risk of contracting diseases and

One of the best and easiest ways to stay safe from an STD is simply to wear a condom (Sigel), but a lot of programs worry that it would encourage the youth to have sex (Stienmetz). The current ways of sex ED don’t keep youth from having sex, they are having it at the same rate, it endangers them because they don’t have the knowledge of protection. Teaching safe sex techniques is vital for young Americans so they can lead a long, healthy life.

Also, check whether they can perceive that it is essential to practice safe sex practices and how they can be flawed. The information uncovered that most understudies comprehended one of the real hindrances of condoms was putting it on wrong or not knowing how to put it on effectively. At the point when posed the question what is a disadvantage of the utilization of a condom, the age groups disagree. While most 18 years express that not putting on a condom effectively versus the 17 years who agreed that not putting on a condom, but as well as allergic reaction and breakage are cause of a disadvantage. Out of gender, 5/10 females said stated that was one of the major weakness of condoms along with male being 4/9. Which then drove us into a discussion on how to put on a condom efficiently and how to know whether it's on accurately. One of the namelessly questions was how would they know whether his condom is on a properly? You can see these illustrations in the appendix c and see the inquiries asked alongside the information in the index a figure

Statistics from recent studies suggest that only 13% of U.S. teens have ever had sex by the age of 15. But by the age of 19, seven in ten teens of both sexes have had sex. Between 1995 and 2006-2008, the percentage of teens aged 15-17 who had ever engaged in sexual intercourse declined from 38% to 28%. Among teens aged 18-19, it declined from 68% in 1995 to 60% in 2006-2008. The pregnancy rate among young women has declined steadily from 117 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-19 in 1990 to 70 per 1,000 in 2005. However in 2006, the rate increased for the first time in more than a decade, rising to

In this day in time it is not an uncommon sight in my school to see a young girl with a baby bump. Or when you hear of that someone has contracted an STD it is not that surprising. My mom speaks of a time when someone contracted a STD it was handled like a death sentence. Also whenever a young girl became pregnant after she started “showing” you would not see her until after the baby was delivered. I believe that there are countless factors to why many teens in my Community are more vulnerable to having risky sex, such as the media, lack of activities and peer pressure. I believe that since most teens between the ages of 13-18 are in school for eight hours out of the day five day a week and many parents are at work when they arrive home until late at night that this issue could be addressed at school. So I believe that schools should pass out condoms to high school students.

Thesis Statement: Condoms and contraceptives should be freely given to high school students because of its effectiveness against the risks they face caused by their sexual lifestyle of today.

   The topic of condom distribution in public schools has caused many heated debates throughout our country in the last decade. Proponents of distribution state that free condom distribution will ensure that teenagers will practice safe sex and that the rate of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy will decline. Opponents of distribution state that free condom distribution will encourage sexual activity and foster the idea that premarital sex is acceptable. Judges in federal court have even considered whether or not condom distribution and sex education without prior parental notification violates parents' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The only viewpoint absent in a discussion of this

Coinciding with the onslaught of the new millennium, schools are beginning to realize that the parents are not doing their job when it comes to sexual education. The school system already has classes on sexual education; these classes are based mainly on human anatomy. Most schools do not teach their students about relationships, morals, respect, self-discipline, self-respect, and most importantly contraceptives. Everyday students engage in sexual activity, many of them with out condoms. This simple act jeopardizes these students' futures and possibly their lives. An increasing amount of school systems are starting to combine messages involving abstinence from sexual activity,
