i read an aticle called Do schools have birth-control role? and it talked about schools being allowed to give out birth conrtoll pills in health clinics. It talked about how many girls in CO are getting pregnant and that is the main cuase of girls dropping out of high school. 54.5 girls get pregnat in the city of denver and 24.3 get pregnant else where in CO. They also talked about giving them out in Middle Schools as well as High Schools.

I disagree with giving them out in middle schools becuase students that age or anyone that age shouldnt be having sexual intercourse. In high school I can understand becuase kids start turning into adults or they think they are adults and start doing "adult things". Giving out birth control pills at high school should be ok but i think that the parents of the girl should sign a waver telling the school its ok to give them the pill. Kids shouldnt be taking pills without their parents or guardians knowing.

This relates to the world becuase kids are kids and if kids do those types of thing here the world is bound to have others doing it somewhere else in the world. Espeically in third world countrys I have heard of children getting pregnant very early and if they had birth conrtol pills they might be okay.
