Should Contraceptives Be Given To Middle School Girls?

Give birth control to middle school children who ask; they are obviously in need of them. although this may cause a serge in sexual activity amoung the young children, it will at least be promoting healthy sex habbits. One problem is that parents won't know about their child recieving the contraceptives or of their childs sexual behavior. It is nave to think that children will tell their parents about their sexual activities. Children do the opposite and try to hide this from their parents under lock and key. So there is no lost or gain in that area. I think giving out contraceptives promotes healthy sex. If i found out that my little sister was taking contraceptives I wouldn't be happy but I wouldn't necessarily tell my parents either. I would encourage her to tell them. I would make sure i could stay in a position where i could advise her an know what she is up too. This way if things get out of hand I could stop it. If I were given contraceptives (condoms) I wouldn't care at all. It would be my choice to use them or not. I think I'm old enough and responsible enough to know how and when to use them.
