In the grand scheme of things, condoms cost pence..

Unwanted teenage pregnancies, STI's and HIV cost Millions of pounds. Teenagers will have sex whether we want them to or not and as a society we have made it socially acceptable for young teenagers to become parents. If society has made this acceptable then there should be the means to protect teenagers from disease. STI's and HIV are most common between the ages of 15-25.

I would personally prefer not to see pregnant teenagers but have to accept that that is how it is these days. When my grandma was a lass, teenage girls getting pregnant either had to get rid or get wed. I'm not saying that the old ways were necessarily the best, but we have to accept that things have changed and employ whichever method of damage limitation we can. If it means easily accessible condoms then so be it.
