Schools Providing Birth Control

After the news being boggled down with the news of the Gloucester High School students making a pact to become pregnant all at the same time caused such controversy. Many schools have dealt with young girls having children and learning to work with other students by teaching safe sex and ways to prevent pregnancy. Is actually physically giving out birth control in school going to far? In Maine a Middle School by the name of Kings Middle School, will take the idea of safe sex to a different level from most schools, instead of sticking with the norm of classes and the occasional passing out of condoms, contraceptives will be available for the students in this Middle School. When looking at those who are sexually active at this age you see that there are many students that are and they are not using the right preventative measures. I think that although this may be a very risky idea, that those whom are already having sex can benefit from this and those who are not sexually active it the future have a place to go and talk and receive the right information for preventing pregnancy and STDs. I think that with a safe sex course and the right contraceptives this could help students in many ways. Although some say that this will just make students think that having this available for them means that they can go and become promiscuous, but in reality I personally think that those who are not sexually active will not become active because this is available.
