Should Parents Give Permission to Give Out Condoms in School?

I do not believe this is a good idea because the idea of offering contraceptives is promoting the idea that sex at such a young age is alright. It tells the students that they should all of a sudden grow up and do things that will not have severe or any consequences, whereas before having sex at such a young age was a shame on the family and indirectly the community in which the people belonged. Sex at such a young age is a dangerous and bad idea because it means kids can do things some adults haven’t done yet. If this were to happen at my child’s school I would not give consent to having contraceptives at school, and would strongly advocate a health seminar that would teach the kids about sex and all the information they want to gain through actually experiencing sex. If my child wanted to have sex, I would sit down with him or her and ask her the reasoning for her feelings and give the best advice I could. I would make sure he or she told me about what was going on. However, if my own sister was using contraceptives during her middle school years, I would not tell my parents, because I feel as though some things should be kept away from them, and also the fact that if they found out my little sister was having sex with someone, they would hit the walls. NO JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They would seriously consider kicking her out of the house. I would not tell them and help my sister as much as I could. First of all in middle school I was too naïve to even think about doing these things, it occurred to me as disgusting and I was definitely not ready to have sex. Also I believe I have my whole life to do such things, and if I do all this now, what will I do when I am older??!!
