22.does access to condoms prevent teen pregnancy?

Is it really helpful in achieving its main purpose – decreasing the rates of teen pregnancy and venereal diseases?

It seems that after all it turns out to be not all that helpful. The rates are still growing and some really gruesome cases, when teens of 13 or 14 get pregnant increase as well. And the reason, in my opinion, is that easy access to condoms does not cultivate safe sex; it cultivates irresponsibility. In the times when contraceptives were either nonexistent, ineffective or very hard to come by it was not the higher level of morals that kept teenagers from getting pregnant – it was understanding that the consequences of having a good time may be very, very unpleasant. That is, in addition to this kind of things being shunned by the society.
Modern teenagers that are taught from the very childhood that sex is completely alright, no matter in what age, with whom or in what circumstances you have it, that you can buy condoms whenever and anywhere, don’t have such preconceptions. They know that all the negative consequences may be easily averted if sex is safe – but it only breeds overall contempt for the above-mentioned outdated preconceptions and the precautionary measures as well.
Easy access to condoms doesn’t and cannot prevent teen pregnancy, for it doesn’t do anything with the source of the problem; in fact, it only makes it worse. If teenagers don’t understand the seriousness of consequences, nothing short of outright sterilization will help.
