Each year there are many unwanted babies born, or even worse aborted in this
country. Many which are born too young people with little or no education about condom
use and safe sex are prone to several circumstances. Many of these unnecessary
pregnancies could certainly be prevented in such genuine ways. Some parents do not
educate their children about sex, therefore the burden usually falls on the schools.
Somehow, condoms should definitely be readily available in the school system along with a
sex education program that includes how and why to use condoms properly. However, the
topic of distributing condoms in high schools had caused a great deal of debate over the
last decade. Those that favor in condom distribution say that distributing them will ensure
teenagers practice safe sex and the rate of teenage pregnancy will decline dramatically.
Additionally, those that are against in distributing condoms insisted that giving them out
will encourage early sexual activity and promote the idea that premarital sex is fine.
The aim of this research study is to know the level of knowledge and acceptance of
condom distribution among Grade 11 students in DEGMNHS as well as to know their
awareness along with the level of their perception in terms of the advantages and
disadvantages of using condoms. This research study is a qualitative research study with a
descriptive research design. The researchers gathered data from 214 people and those
respondents answered the disseminated questionnaires. The data collected from the
respondents were interpreted using the Likert Format. It is being chosen actually by the
researchers to be proposed because it simply caters the perception of Senior High students
along with the factors that affect their adolescent periods’ life.
