Question: How would you feel if schools (high and middle) had condom dispensers? How would you feel if your church promoted condom use for teens?

I don't think that there should be condom dispensers in schools, but the students should be given a way to get condoms. My high school had a wellness center that provided gynecological exams, birth control counseling and advice, and free contraceptives to all students. I think this is a better idea than just having the condom dispensers because the school was taking a proactive stance. Honestly, there are a lot of teens (and grown folks too) that don't know how to properly use condoms. They should be taught safe sex practices before they are just given the condoms.
I also think that the church should take a proactive stance as well. I don't know if condoms are the right way to go for the church. Churches should begin to counsel the teens about the Lord and try to teach them ways to abstain. But, they should also realize that not all teens will be able to abstain and teach them safe sex practices if they decided to take that step.
