Hope this is o.k. to put it this way ...If you think it needs changing ...please do so... You have a young man ,age ,around 15 yrs.old ,and he ask you for a comdom. Do you give to him or not ? Do you talk to him about "why" he wants it..How are we as Chirurgeon to handal this ? This is after all a minor.



It's nice to be important..but....It's more important to be nice...

I would be interested to hear from those who are either Middle School/High School counselors and/or related health professionals (since they probably deal with in on a more frequent basis than the average Chiurgeon).

However, IMHO, since the individual in question is under legal age to purchase said condom, I would say no. If they persist, then I would ask the teen to have their parent(s) come ask for it.  Then I would ask the parents why they believe their son should need a condom.

If the teen does not want their parents to be involved, then I would remind said teen that the legal age of consent in Texas is 17 years of age.  There have been statutory rape cases where both the individuals involved were as young as 14.
