rubbers, love gloves, sheaths, raincoat, jimmy hat, and numerous other, sometimes more vulgar, terms.
The Controversy:
On one hand people believe that young adults should be educated in sex. Where to buy condoms. how to properly put them on....
Then there are others who believe that it's a sign of encouragement for young adults to engage in sex.....
Lets take the show 16 and Pregnant for instance. This show is about young ladies who have gotten pregnant in their teenage lives. Some of them drop out of high school while some struggle through it. They tell the story of how their lives are officially over, no more hanging out, loss of friends, and how some of the fathers aren't pulling their weight. The show was designed to show how hard it is for the young women after having a baby. But is it working?
A spin off of the show came later with Teen Mom 2. This show stars the cast of the second season of 16 and Pregnant. It shows the struggles of being a young mother, marriage, relationships, adoption, finances, graduating high school, college, independence. These two shows are supposed to show the struggle and hardships that come with being a young mother and the challenges that lay around every corner.
Their underlying message is practice safe sex, right?
"Of 100 typical users who start out the year
employing a given method of contraception,
the number who will be pregnant by the end
of that year will be _________."
So asking whether access to condoms prevent teen pregnancy is a bad question... In some cases it does. In others obviously not, we have shows about teen moms.
