Are we bold enough to allow distribution of condoms in schools and colleges?
The outlook towards sex related issues is rapidly changing in our country. We are freer discussing sex education and awareness about sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi set up youth Friendly Health Care (YHFC) that was inaugurated this August. What was taboo till a few years back is now a relatively more formally, less insecurely discussed issue.
But, despite our rhetoric about “Chalo condom”, are we liberal enough to see a condom vending machine in our college campus? Even if we leave aside schools, are colleges prepared for it? What will you say when you see your friend slipping a condom from the machine? Are you sure you will not think something is funny?
In India, the legal age to get married is well around the age of a college student. And well, if you permit me, I would like to enlighten you with the fact that Age of Consent is 18. So technically, you might be in need of a condom at the age of 18, just out of school….Reducing rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies especially in the teenage group can be tackled in a three pronged way: abstinence only programs, safe sex education, making condoms available in schools/colleges. There is no statistics that show one way is better than the other. But common sense will tell that the third option is the practical one.
AIDS needs to be tackled, we say; and then what do we do? Hesitate in buying condoms? There is an unfathomed reason behind openly buying a condom. For heaven’s sake, even a married man will think twice before asking for a condom in a chemist’s shop. You can well imagine that if parents turn out this way, they can really not enlighten their kids about The birds and the bees!
Condoms are not aliens. Lets come to terms with reality and accept that it is a part of a healthy life. It is as normal and usual as going for shopping on a normal day. Considering you wouldn’t be embarrassed buying vitamin pills to stay fit, then why a condom?
So ready to see the condom vending machine in your campus?

So ready to see the condom vending machine in your campus?
Well,I don’t think the society is bold enough to take this step and as far as STDs are concerned ,they are not so common and can easily be cured…. For AIDS ,I guess hardly any student or cllg going student suffers from it,so it can not be transmitted by physical contact.
So threat of cllg going student suffering from Aids is nil.For unintended pregnancies,I think opposite sex should take some steps too.
I can bet that none of us can buy a condom from our regular chemist.The whole level of thinking should be changed in an order to take such a bold step.
school /college is place to study not a place to install a condom vending machine…by doing this,system is losing the real value behind imparting education.
n if its too necessary for system to take such kind f step …do it in malls…but y only schools/colleges ???
totally against such an idea
Prevention is better than cure like abortion etc etc……
@Aditya: The number of HIV/AIDS-infected teenagers in the United States is increasing. Nearly 35,000 U.S. teenagers now have AIDS. and in India: by the end of 2005 the total number of reported AIDS cases in India was 116,905, of which 34,177 were women.4 Around a third of these were among people younger than 30 years.
So you think this is not a significant ????
@Harry: I understand the presence of condom vending machine will cause some disturbance in the atmosphere, but education also means being an open minded person. so dont you think that an educated person should be more open to the idea than anyone else?
@Dr Ashok: Exactly! On one hand, we say abortion should be banned, on the other hand we are not ready to accept condoms as an important thing!
There should be co-ed hostel facility also in the colleges otherwise who will be able to use the machine
Educated people should be open minded, rite anwesha
sure buddy! who said there cant be…
in fact, when things are stopped and especially told not to be done, without any proper rhyme or reason, one will do it in a wrong way like without using protection…
what i strongly feel is that if we are actually allowing an 18 yr old to vote for the country, he should be allowed to decide small things like how to behave in a coed hostel too… or is it expecting too much?
I am always in favor of co-ed hostels. By this students will behave properly and will learn to live decent life.
Also people are interested to know more / do things that are banned / not allowed / kanow as wrong. So i think if we give enough freedom to them then these things will not take place out of curiosity.
let me open a university i will do this first ..
well on first words i would say NO…….
but people in schools n colleges are highly vulnerable to sex so its not that bad idea……
but for schools condoms are jus kinda encouraging for them
to deviate them from studies…..
well,college students are practically more mature nd sensible so they know about their limits….
Buddy day by day the physical and mental state of teenagers is changing. The become mature mentally at very early age. They know what exactly the things are.
Also not only mentally the same is with physical growth. Hormonal changes starts at very early stage as compared to earlier generations coz of mental development, so there is no big deal in applying the idea at school level.
If you see something from the childhood you will not be curios about these and none one will be bothered until unless needed.
yeah .. Bring it on..;)
Prevention is better than cure.We are freer discussing sex education and awareness about sexually transmitted diseases… this is something what need to be done. I will suggest even that it should be free and be freely available.
Prevention is better than cure like abortion etc etc……
It’s better to install condom vending matchines at public toilets,bus stands,STD booths..We are still not bold enough to install it at campus..Wasss the point of installing it at campus?If govt wanna 2 target teenagers they can install it at the places i mentioned above..please dont compare us with US!
Let me tell you that,situation is under control as far as 15-25 years age group is concerned,and the scenario is not going to be worse cause in India ,parents do concern.There is hardly any case of teenage pregnancy in India.
We don’t need such efforts atleast now,they will only provoke us to act like a spoiled.
And if college student is smart enough to have a girl for himself then he will be smart enough to get himself away from troubles.
Vending machines might help in rural areas,i guess,where people are unaware and deprived of sex education/prevention.
The idea of “Condoms in schools and colleges” is totally waste.
Srry,I forgot to mention…..teenage pregnancy in urban areas ,i mean cllg going students,literate one and having a family behind……not prostitutes and all.
Please pay attention to the figure: in India: by the end of 2005 the total number of reported AIDS cases in India was 116,905, of which 34,177 were women. Around a third of these were among people younger than 30 years: more than 10000…..
Arre yar,they are not cllg going students…….Rural areas,sex workers also contribute to the fact along with the reason that Aids is transmitted not only through physical contacts,they may have inherited it from their HIV+ mother/drugs intake ,infectious needle/blood contack with the victims and many such reasons.
Do one thing, just go around ask your friends how many have had sex and ask them further whether they had used protection… (sorry to have taken this turn to the discussion but really one needs to open their eyes to ground reality)
None of us have experienced sex…..but given a chance I am pretty sure that we will use protection.
thats good news!
Well the second part or the first part?
that you will use protection
safety..

Big problem. How to tackle it? Giving Condoms for free ? Make them available free in Hospitals & Dispensaries Doctors clinics and other common places.
thats one way out surely!
I think dis edu. Is necesry .cause if u dnt give it to dem de aqur it by any rong methd and dat thing cn bcom n obstacle for der mind developing or broading. Bt dat edu shod given by rit way.we shod go to the level of undrstanding of stu. U ofnly heard about the sex criminals which r simple stu. Of dat schls vehr der is no sex edu. Dey also take d knowlg of sex by anadr means get involved in destroy thhnking.So its a 2 face discusion.i also protest it due to watching its bad results.bt at last agree for dis edu.
what i strongly feel is that if we are actually allowing an 18 yr old to vote for the country, he should be allowed to decide small things like how to behave in a coed hostel too… or is it expecting too much?
@anu
: age to marry is 21 yrs …18 yr old doesnt have that much sense to take a decision on it ..thats wat gov. thinks ….
n about co-ed hostels…. beda garak ho jayega india ka ….
we will never know ki kya hoga unless it is done! maybe Indian youth will turn out to be more responsible than we think they are!
till know what happens is, teenagers get most of the information form television, movies, fiends and few magazines. but these medium do no provide proper education and it results into problems.
if sex education is provided in schools or colleges and such things can be talked freely without any hesitation or feel of shame then this can improve a lot and reduce many problems.
today we are not not able to even speak single word regarding this at home or in front of elders / relatives. its a natural thing and one should be free to guide / ask about it.
