Doesn't matter to me. Parenting begins at home.

Distribute? No.
Available? Yes.
That they should be made available to teenagers who want them, and not distributed to everyone.
tru dat
please don't pm Kori thanks!
I hear ya mouse.
What's the ethical age a kid should be to handed a condom?
Is there one?
The condoms should be available for anyone to pick up, along with brochures. Put them in the nurse's office. Also, sex education should be taught. But the most important thing is this, someone should be there to actually teach the kids how to use a condom. Believe it or not, but in 9/10 instances of condom failure, the cause is human error. A lot of people don't know how to use condoms properly.
Typical user failure rate of condoms is between 15 and 20%.
I'll check my stats again, but I learned from Planned Parenthood that condoms are 99% effective, but that 90% of those failures were usage error. Things like people only putting it on the tip (benefit of the doubt on the user wanted the most natural feel) and putting on the condom too tight and not leaving a little space for the semen.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, typing while distracted. You are correct, your stats are just lower than what I've seen elsewhere. Perfect use rate/method success rate for condoms is between 97 and 99% effective. Typical user failure is around 15%, splitting the differences in numbers (or 10-20%).
Your point was a good one. I agree with you that teaching kids the proper way to use them is better than simply sticking a bowl out on a desk and letting them help themselves.
There sure are different agendas towards condoms. I've seen condoms being over 90% safe and others say that condoms fail 70% of the time. Too funny. Still can't find the stat I'm looking for.
I'd 85% of what y'all are both talking about is valid 20% of the time. Especially on Wednesday. After that it shoots up to 21%.
Yes, they should.
You say that as if wikipedia entry for "condoms" was difficult to find.

That's a good question...I'm not quite sure on what the statistics of kids having sex pre-high school are...but I'd say maybe high schools should offer them to anyone that asks for them.
1) Wikipedia still isn't a valid source, especially in college classes.You say that as if wikipedia entry for "condoms" was difficult to find.

2) If I'm not mistaken, when I read it, I didn't see what percentage of failures were the result of user error.
