<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just curious but since when were
condoms a age restricted purchase? I've never heard that before.
Just curious; I don't have kids and I'm over 17 (heh) but I was just
wondering.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S. I would give the 15 year old one.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>******************************************</FONT><BR>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).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
