CMV: Middle schools should not have condoms freely accessible for students

I am all for birth control, sex-ed, and sex-positive lifestyles. However, many of my friends who also believe in these have advocated for condoms in middle school, which I simply cannot bring myself to support. While I feel strongly about condom access in high schools, it seems irresponsible for school's to leave out condoms with a "Go, be free!" attitude. The school would be creating an expectation that their sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are having sex. These kids likely have not had comprehensive sex-ed or learned about STDs or consent, but students who hadn't considered it before would now be thinking that they are *supposed to be* having sex, and would make irresponsible decisions. Further, is it the school's responsibility to be providing condoms at that age? Middle schoolers who want to have sex should talk to their parents and receive birth control through them.

The students *are already having sex*. It's not creating an expectation; it's acknowledging reality.

Perhaps they should introduce comprehensive sex-ed earlier. There is no student who hasn't considered sex. Puberty means you get interested in sex. Either you go into it with misinformation like "you can't get pregnant if you have sex while standing up", or you learn how to do it safely. 

It's a fact that ignoring reality, like with abstinence-only sex-ed, leads to higher teen pregnancy rates. If you want to address the actual problem, you need things like this.

Even adults are uncomfortable talking about sex with their parents. In the ideal world, parents are these great understanding people that children feel comfortable confiding in. The reality is that children don't want to talk about it with parents. Parents will freak out, forbid them to be alone with the opposite sex, and refuse to give birth control.
