I've never, never understood this issue. Most teens I know are aware of condoms and sex. Hiding them or limiting access to condoms isn;t the issue. The issues - I think - are that parents need to communicate openly with their kids about sex and its repercussions.

My mom was very open with me...and when I decided to start having sex (at 13) I had absolutely no issues walking into the drug store and buying my own condoms, thank you.
