No restrictions - teens cna just walk in and get condoms, no questions ask

Opt-in form - in order to ahve access to the condoms, the parnets have to ahve singed a 'permission slip'

Opt -out form- parents have the option of signing a form that would exclude thier children from getting condoms, other than that any kid can get them (this si what they had at my HS..I think omost parents ignored it)

No condoms alowed under any circumstances

Other; Do you think they should have a basic sex ed class first, Do you think they should be ahnded ut to every student? etc etc

teens are at the peak of sexual exploration so i voted YES! but not like it's 'permission' to have it but they're going to do it regardless. allowing condoms in HS shows me the school officials eyes are open and they're doing something about it. it's very responsible. i would also hope this condom includes pamphlets of info on std's, pregnancies and etx. does it? this should be brought up. in each package a student picks up that contains a condom should also contain important info. in my HS of some department had condoms to give out but didn't include the vital info that comes with the territory. bad mistake! we had some teen pregnancies.. i knew of a few who had to abort their's.. and a few who took the 'morning after pill' a few times. very irresponsible. so again, i vote for YES along with related information.

I totally agree with this. Exactly how I feel.
