Do you think it's wrong to give condoms to your kids' friends if you know they are already sexually active?

I think that was perfectly reasonable. If the parents get mad, that shows how ignorant they are. You are doing what you can to prevent a teen pregnancy. They should commend you for that.

I think that I hope I have friends just like you.

It sounds like you are concerned that the parents might believe that by providing condoms you would be condoning their active sex life. IF it ever comes up, I would explain that you did what you thought best for their children. However, I don't expect that it will ever come up in any conversation, ever.

Their parents can't stop them from having sex with each other, no matter how hard they try to control their teenagers. What you have done is protect these teens from consequences that could affect the rest of their lives. You can't stop teenage sex -- but you can prevent unplanned, unwanted pregnancies.

I suspect you have to look at from the other side. If your son was having unprotected sex, wouldn't you want a friend to provide him some condoms and show him how to use them properly?

It is not your responsibility to provide someone else's child with condoms. You are a parent, you should have informed their parents and allowed them to handle the situation in the way they deem appropriate. It is not your business if the parents get mad. The parents have a right to be upset if it goes against their beliefs. I would be livid if it was my child and I found out what you did. I would not allow them to go around you anymore and I would not speak to you anymore. Not because of the condoms but because you overstepped your boundaries and disrespected my place as a parent.

I love parents like you!!! Some parents are in denial and thus have a child end up pregnant or with some kind of disease. We have to understand that we are in the age where abstinence is nearly unheard of. We can preach it all we want but curiosity is taking over. I applaud you. The parents may be angry at first but at least someone is helping them to take preventative measures.

I think that was actually very smart of you :)

You may have helped to prevent pregnancy or STD's in that case.

You did a good thing. Some people may not see it that way; they think it's up to the child's parents to take care of that. But if you knew they were having unprotected sex for a fact, then it was really nice of you to give them condoms and talk to them.

Good for you :D

I think that it is not your place to provide contraceptives to other people's kids. And to provide it and then hide it from their parents? That's just plain wrong. I am very open about sex with my kids, and if/when the time comes, I will provide them with protection. But if another parent knew my child was having sex and not only kept me in the dark about it but bought condoms for them - ooh, I would be HOT!

Yes you are overstepping your bounds. In a way you are encouraging them to have sex. You should have talked to their parents and let them handle it these kids are minors and you could get into legal trouble if their parents find out and decide to push the issue.

Edit

I have raised kids and if you done that with my kids I would have been right over to your house. Who ever put you in charge of interfering in other peoples business when it comes to raising their kids. The bottom line is mind your own business.

Have no doubt about it, you did the right thing AND it's legal. One day they will thank you for it. Perhaps their parents would've wanted you to inform them but you have no obligation. You might have to answer to this in the future if they find out though. I wish more parents were like you.

I don't think it was the right thing to do. It might of felt like it at the time, but your sons friends are not your responsibility. Its his parents jobs to teach him about that. How would you feel if your sons friends mom was talking about this with your son? Would you feel happy or like they were condoning it? I just think its wrong, sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear. I know you were trying to help but I don't think it was your place.

No, l think that was very smart of you! Condoms are free, so what difference does it make for you giving it out to them? No, not wrong at all. Just tell them to wear them in future and give them advice on where to get them from (Family Planning Clinic, Doctors or drug stores.) lt's not your duty to tell their parents' whatever you do. They will find out eventually. Parents instinct to know what their kids are going.

no!

your not their parent

if i found out that some person was supplying condoms to my kid I'd be pissed

you have noo proof they were having sex

EDIT

just cause they say it doesn't mean they are going to do it, they could either chicken out or change their mind. the point is you are in no position to be supplying condoms to teenagers. it is just encouraging them

EDIT

look it is NONE of your Business at all! one of the consciousnesses of having sex when your young is you may get pregnant, teach her a lesson
