A Preservative Ready-to-go at the Nurse’s Office Someone must be responsible for making sure that students are aware of the world of adulthood that they are about to leap into, especially parents who play the most important role in their children’s sexual education. Parents must be conscious and open-minded; however, they sometimes are skewed to their own beliefs and do not explain to them the responsibilities that takes to be sexually active. School should support this education with basic facts, showing them the different situations that can be faced with sex, but most important, letting them know what could be some of the consequences and how can they be protected. Even though condoms are not the best way to protect against all this terrorization, it will protect a percentage if used correctly and reduce the probabilities of being transmitted or pregnant. The best way to encourage teenagers to use a preservative or this in particular would be have it available for them in school, so they do not have to worry about all the issues that they have to deal with if not used.
