Everyone does it! Assumptions like this can lead many adolescents to engage in sexual activity. The number of adolescents involved in sexual activity has increased significantly in recent decades. Especially during high school due to the scandalous status of sex. Due to the high number of sexually active adolescents, high school condom distribution could be implemented in all school districts in the United States. Many people believe in using protection like condoms. Yet many may have some sort of hang-up about how society may perceive them. This includes friends, families and society. There is a stigma when it comes to dealing with society, adults and adolescents. On the one hand, society and adults aspire to prevent adolescents from repeating their past sexual mistakes. On the other hand, most teenagers are already experimenting with sex. It seems very difficult to prevent a natural sexual act once the adolescent's individual biological hormones become active. The major dilemma is the fear of giving condoms the green light to have sex. When in reality, giving condoms could be an inexpensive and effective prevention measure that school districts could incorporate. The choice to use a condom during sex can make all the difference in determining participants' futures. Although some adults believe that distributing condoms in high school may promote sexual activity, distributing condoms will encourage adolescents to fully protect themselves. Sexual activities in high school appear to be based on peer pressure, alcohol and/or drug use, due to peer pressure and the desire to satisfy curiosity. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim that "the safest way... middle of paper ... Sexual activity among America's young adolescents is costly, damaging, and forever life-changing." It is time to truly implement prevention and awareness systems that will reach the youth and adolescent population where it is so desperately needed.
