I knew so many girls who were pregnant during their teen-age years it is unbelievable. I do believe it is up to the parents to provide the education and moral basis, but obviously that is not happening. I think that providing kids with condoms is not encouraging sex, they are already doing it, I think it encourages safer sex. It's a scary world we live in and kids who don't have an adult they can form a connection to need to have someone to help them...it's disappointing that it has to be the Health Department, but honestly, what is the alternative?
