Youngsters of fifteen and sixteen have easy access to contraception at schools. In sex education and often, PSHE (Physical Social health Education) a youngster can simply ask for condoms and advice on the pill without their parents consent.
Should this be allowed? Of course, parents are outraged that their children can be given contraception at school as it is an encouragement for them to have sex and underage sex. On the other hand, how many pregnant teens would there be today if youngsters didn't have access to condoms and other contraceptives?
Should parents be told? Or should parents have to give consent for their child to receive contraceptives through school ? Or do we accept that the child is acting responsibly by using contraception and hope that they will take care of themselves?
