Wrong to give condoms to students

THE EDITOR: I have some questions for the young man from the YMCA who distributed the condoms in front of the Woodbrook Secondary School. Did you get the approval of the YMCA to do this? Why did you not just give out the pamphlets educating the students of HIV/AIDS, sex etc? Why did you not do the proper thing and get permission from the Principal to have a talk to the students in the classroom - if you are so versed on the subject? What are your qualifications in this area?

It is my opinion that we need to teach the young people that they are responsible for their actions. Once we educate them on the right way to go, they are the ones to decide whether to go that way, or the wrong way and that has its price. Also, do you think those students have the money to buy condoms in the supermarket or drug store after they get their little bit of freeness which is just one sexual experience?
