Does access to condoms prevent teen pregnancy?



            Access to condoms alone doesn’t prevent teen pregnancy. It don’t protect you against pregnancy it only encourages underage sex and instead of thinking  about all the consequences  , more and more teen are becoming  sexually active without completely understand   the precautions  and bad effect when doing so. Now a days, most of the teen want to try everything new and nothing covered up this is why pregnancy is such a big problem in our society. Furthermore, many people believe that implementation of sex education in schools and a proper guidance of the parents to their children can reduce teen pregnancy  and the children are aware about condom not to used  it because they know and understand that using condom is not safe there’s a risk behind that. The easiest way to prevent pregnancy is to not sex at all.

            Again, I am definitely disagree about accessing condoms alone can prevent teen pregnancy. Educating the children on how and why to use condoms will help prevent teen pregnancy. As teen, pregnancy now accounts for 70% of all pregnancy are obvious that using condom encourage much younger children to have sex. In addition, statistics sat that now 7 out of 10 senior high schoolers  have had multiple sex partners  and 5 out of 10  junior high schoolers have also had multiple  sex partners. In other words, our society  , parents and schools  should build a solid foundation about accessing to condoms  because some teens definitely  end up pregnant.

There is always the risk when using condoms. The reason are inconsistent use of it , condom breaks during  sex , condom was not manufactured properly  , expiration date has passed and ripping during  use and it can cause teen pregnancy. In addition, using oil-based lubricants can weaken  the latex  , causing the condom  to break. Condoms can also weakened by exposure to heat or sunlight or by age , or it can be torn  by teeth or fingernails. Moreover, the researcher has shown that rates of breakage, caused by fault in the condom itself, are less than 2 condoms out of every 100 condoms. Studies also indicate that condoms slip of the penis in about 1-5% of acts of vaginal intercourse and slip down. In addition, a major factor that can lead to a condom breaking or slipping  of during sex is it’s  size this can affect how easy it is to put on and likely it is to stay on.

Thousands of teenagers in our country putting themselves at risk for pregnancies because curiosity of using condoms. Some people may argue that condom distribution is a misguided solution due to the fact that it influences sexual promiscuity. It seems that after all it turns out to be not all that helpful. In my opinion, is tat easy access to condoms does not prevent pregnancy; In fact, it only makes it worst. In the times when contraceptives were either non-existent or ineffective. It is understood that the consequences of accessing condoms is very unpleasant. In other words, our society need to teach them out to get away with premarital sex  so that teenagers are not force to use condoms. It is immature and immoral to access condoms easily in order not to be pregnant.

Teenagers engaged in premarital sex it’s because they are very curious and they want to explore something new. For instance, there are teens out there that don’t know about condoms and where to get them for free then they shouldn’t be having sex to begin with. Condoms needs not only be accessible but obtainable. For example, young girls in the rural area, at parties and in malls, without them fully understand that what they see on TV is just an act. Moreover, teens need to understand the dignity and sanity of their own body and in doing so , they will think twice before  going to bed  and finding themselves pregnant. Indeed of, Schools, Society and their parents need to educate  their children  how to use condom at the right age, sex education  should come from parents  having a vested interest  in helping their kids  make good informed  in that  matter. Truly, the problem is that the teenagers are very impulsive and lack of ability to understand the long term effect.

In conclusion, teenagers should not be having sex at all. Schools need to stop trying to hide the issue and make the decision at least provide some means of  protection. Though this may hold some truth, teenagers are maturing faster. If they are educated well enough on all possible options teens are very capable of making decisions even though  such things are supposedly influencing them. One thing teenagers cannot stand if someone is telling them why should do; therefore just educate them on every means of protection.
