I've often sat and thought to myself why adults look down their
noses at the teen generation today. They whine and moan at how retched they
think our behavior is, but very few do anything to help us. That is why I
have come to the conclusion that it is easier for them to put us down and
stereotype us all than to acknowledge our needs and reach out to help. This
thought directly ties into the subject I have decided to write my
persuasive paper on; Should the free distribution of condoms be practiced
more often? I decided to do my paper on that topic because it is a
controversy whether handing out condoms to kids encourages them to have sex,
or makes them more aware of the dangers. Personally I agree with the latter.
I believe that handing out condoms should definitely be a more
widespread practice. I believe teenagers would greatly benefit from it for
many reasons. Firstly, to further emphasize my point of view lets pretend
just for a moment that I am a shy girl named Mary. And lets say that I have
a boyfriend named Joe. Joe and I have been together for quite a while and
are beginning to be sexually active. In this scenario my alter ego, Mary,
is in need of some condoms, but she would not feel comfortable asking her
parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not
be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities.
If Mary had a free condom distribution program in place at her
school, then Mary might feel more comfortable receiving condoms from nurses
and health officials at her school rather than her parents. That is why I
believe that it would be extremely beneficial to have a program like the
one at Mary's school in effect at our school. All the girls and boys out
there that are in Mary's situation ...
