condoms save lives!

(shared on fb)

okay i was going to make a note and list the number of ways that condoms save lives but its harder than you would think to get the stats you are really looking for... so lets just try something different...

first off... i am not saying everyone should go and have sex... in fact im not saying that at all... what i am saying is people are having sex no matter how many times you say dont or how bad society says sex is... (even though everything seems to be about sex)

THE BIG ONE: STD's aka STI's (sexually transmitted infections: new name for stds that can transfer from person to person without sex being involved... needles, blood, etc.)

i tried looking up the number of stds there are and i couldnt find it... i found the common stds over and over but lets face it common or uncommon if you get one it doesnt really matter what % of a chance you had cause you hit the lotto...

std's range from nothing but a nuisance to life ending... in fact some stds that are nothing but a bother if left untreated can result in fatal outcomes... you can also become infertile aka no longer able to have kids, have you std open the door for other serious diseases (not sex related), stds cause cancer, weaken organs, etc... there is much much more to stds than just AIDS being the fatal one... if you are having sex especially unprotected sex... get tested!!!!! there are plenty of stds that dont show symptoms and if you are a carrier you are playing russian rulet with everyone you have sex with... dont commit murder cause youre to lazy to take the appropriate precautions...

pregnancy: NOTHING IS 100% (abstinence is unless you're mary...)... but wearing condoms can prevent unwanted pregnancy... and even if you are one of those ppl who used protection but still got pregnant just imagine all the kids you could have if every time you decided; well lets not even bother with protection... not to mention that lots of times when condoms are ineffective it isnt from one night stands but from relationships... aka sex over and over again... so yes you got pregnant but you could of gotten pregnant a lot sooner... aka the first time you had sex...

eradication of youth: kids... not even teens... but kids are having sex all the time... in fact there are elementary students that are practicing sexual favors as early as kindergarten... and yet we think kids are to young to speak with them about sex... if you arent talking to your kid about sex someone else is... and i assure you it isnt "abstinence is cool!"

there are kids getting std's before they even go through puberty... there are kids getting pregnant before their first period... how can we think that talking to your kids about sex is taboo... your kids life can be ruined because once they get an std or pregnant they become figuratively "ostracized"... is it any wonder that suicide is so high in relation to children... everyone looks down on you already and yet you do something "stupid" and you lose all your friends, the respect and trust of your parents, the privacy you once had... you have nothing so you have nothing to lose... but suicide is never the answer!!!

so moving on to teens/ young adults... how many have to grow up so fast that they cant even take care of themselves let alone a small child... or they are so involved in their own life that they ditch the kid with whomever just so they can have a life... who cares how you will emotionally scare your child because you are a child... nah the life of the kid doesnt matter... ITS ALL ABOUT ME!!!

adultery: lets face it... adultery is never good... but unprotected adultery... come on now... how many marriages were ruined... not because of infidelity but because they brought some random disease home with them... I HAVE NEVER HAD SEX WITH ANYONE BUT YOU, MY SPOUSE, AND YOUVE BEEN SLEEPING AROUND ON THE SIDE AND GOT ME AN STD!!!  or how about those "relations" that cause pregnancy... the addition of any child is hard on parents as well as the children already in the home... but half-siblings has its own set of circumstances that can scare children for life... taking away a part of who they would of been, could of been, should of been... just cause you wanted something "fresh"... or again the marriage would of been salvaged... but the wife doesnt want to have to deal with someone elses baby or the "baby momma"... or the man of the house doesnt want to have to raise a kid by someone else...

another big one MONEY: parents struggle enough with planned pregnancies... let alone unplanned... KIDS ARE EXPENSIVE... there are tons of parents out there working 2-3-4 jobs just trying to make ends meet... they dont have time to spend with their kids cause they are to busy making sure their kid has food and a roof over their head... the children end up suffering or growing up to fast... the kids can even become the "parent" of their younger siblings...but lets face it money is so bad that even if you do everything right... youre still gonna struggle...

abortion: how many abortions would of been prevented if condoms were used... and forget the unborn babies... abortion scares the mother for life... figuratively and actually... it also scares the fathers in more ways then most realize... there are parents who have abortions and then cant live with themselves so they resort to other things... drugs, alcohol, suicide, etc...

death: we all know how stds can kill and do kill... how many lives were lost cause someone found out they were pregnant by a rapist and the thought of killing themselves was a better idea than bearing this rapist's baby...IF YOU ARE GOING TO RAP SOMEONE... WEAR A CONDOM...  i already spoke of little kids killing themselves due to society... or lets say someone has a fatal condition that isnt even considered an std but because of the circumstances it became fatal to the "partner"... there are also semen allergies (allergic reactions can be fatal)...

WHATS EVEN WORSE IS THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF WAYS THAT LIVES CAN BE RUINED OR COMPLETELY CHANGED FOR THE WORSE... AND CONDOMS COULD OF PREVENTED A GREAT DEAL OF LIFE LOSE... (the actual life and the figurative one...)

do you all get it... when i say condoms save lives... i dont mean condoms prevent stds... or foul around as much as you want just wear a condom... i mean CONDOMS SAVE LIVES!!! so dont you dare judge me for telling others just how serious it is to wear condoms...  YOU ARE NEVER TO YOUNG OR TO OLD TO HAVE ONE STUPID OCCURRENCE COMPLETELY RUIN THE LIFE YOU WOULD OF HAD...
