Would you buy a kid some condoms?

no i wouldn't, id tell him if he's worried about 'getting in trouble from his mommy' that hes not ready to be having sex. and that if he's going to anyway that he should buy them from the supermarket.. or the gas station or anywhere else they are sold.. not a very smart kid if he cant work that out for himself.

Edit - Johanna, if you had your first child at 14 then YOU are one of the dumb kids who 'didn't think it through' . no i didn't ask my mother if it was ok to have sex, i was responsible for myself and my own actions and i guess im just a bit more intelligent than you because i didn't get pregnant as a teen. i was in my 20's when i had my first child, married and he was planned. if you were intelligent enough to comprehend what you read then you'd understand that i was saying, a child who's worried about getting into trouble for having sex shouldn't be having sex and that being the case i wont help them do so.. its not my job to be responsible for all the stupid kids out there having sex before they can handle the consequences and if they get pregnant because they were too stupid to buy condoms from a store where they didn't know the clerk, then they get the pleasure of informing their parents that they got their girlfriend pregnant.. personally i think i'd rather risk my parents finding out i bought condoms than having to tell them they are about to be grandparents. if the parents didn't do their job and teach their kids about sex and the consequences of that as well as how to prevent or minimize those consequences then they only have themselves to blame for their child's mistakes.. as im sure your parents know all too well.

i would by them cause we dont want teen pregnancy anymore than already is but then there is the knowing that teenager from ages 11 up are having sex these days. which shouldnt be happening. people should push more for sex after marriage and not lead by bad examples.

I am 14 and i have decided to wait for marriage but one of my friends as i said before didnt wait and she got pregnant at 11 and had a kid at 12 and its ruined her life.

i would but them for sure i had my first kid at 14 yea they might be a little older but she still could get pregnant. and the fact is no matter what anyone says to them about having sex they are going to keep doing it with or without a condom. so i would def get them because at least they are being smart about having sex

and to the person above me you must not be very smart because if you were you would know that you dont have to be smart to have sex (look at all the teen moms with kids) and if you dont mind when did you have sex first.... and did you ask your mom for condoms or go right to her and be like mom im having sex. so before you give advice think it though

so i guess your a republican right and i guess your child will be coming to you at like 15 telling your your going to be a grandparent because your one of those dumb parents who dont realize that kids aren't able to think things thought because their frontal lobes are not develop yet so they cant think things though. so its not that they are dumb or unintelligent its just that they dont have the ability to think things through yet. this web page i am going to post is so you can see what im saying is correct. and by the way. what type of college degree do you have and what did you graduate with??

As a mother of son's I would hope they would feel comfortable enough to come and talk to me - or talk to their dad!

However, IF they did not feel comfortable then I would hope that a trusted friend that they feel comfortable enough to approach for this sort of help in the first place, respected the responsibility imparted to them enough to do what is in the best interest of my child.

He has told you he "wants to have sex" "needs condoms" ... he is doing the right thing - respect the fact that he has come to you and go buy them for him .... THEN have a chat about where else he can get them from if he needs (community health centres & in Australia his school nurse can provide these free!!)

Yes I would buy them. Kids are gonna have sex no matter what anyone says. I would buy them for him. It's his decision, and at least he will be wearing a condom.

I think I would. But I'd be more likely to tell the kid to go to a different store. :)
