I wonder about a view that has been put forward in a recent survey that an increased cost would make condoms seem more desirable, almost of a status symbol, do you think that this might have solved the embarrassment problems that resulted in your friends getting pregnant and STDs? Hi Buy,

I wonder about a view that has been put forward in a recent survey that an increased cost would make condoms seem more desirable, almost of a status symbol, do you think that this might have solved the embarrassment problems that resulted in your friends getting pregnant and STDs?

Hormones flowing and curiosity at its peak. Feeling like you knew it all and you were invincible. If you decide you're going to have sex you're going to do it. Regardless of condom availability. I say educate the youth it is wrong, but still make condoms accessible. To many of my friends ended up pregnant or with an STD just because they were embarrassed to buy. What's going to happen if you add another stumbling point to the purchase of condoms? And did anyone consider the education factor of the area that had the lower pregnancy rate? Perhaps the parenting is better. Do any of you remember what it was like to be 17. Hormones flowing and curiosity at its peak. Feeling like you knew it all and you were invincible.
