I am really excited to be a part of The Great American Condom Compaign. A friend of mine sent me a link to this website and told me to sign up. I've always been really passionate about sex education and sexual health among teens and young adults. It's mostly due to the fact that I am a "victim" of abstinence-only sex education. Luckily, I was one of the very few students in my school that decided it was better to learn things for myself. I really wish I had known then what I know now because I would have challenged the teacher and gotten the truth out to my classmates. I didn't have any help from home either; my mom's views about sex are pretty consistent with ab-only. In 10th grade, there were 5 pregnant girls in my school, 3 were in my graduating class. When I was a senior, 2 of those girls were pregnant again and another one of my close friends had an abortion. I don't know exactly, but if I had to guess, I would say that while I was in high school there were probably 20+ girls who become pregnant teens. Being a SafeSite is something that I think will help me a get a better understanding of how other people in my area view the importance of sexual health and how to address certain misconceptions, if any, that I may be confronted with.
The supply of condoms that I will be passing out at my university have finally sent out and I have already received the sticker to put on my dorm door to let everyone know that they can get free condoms from me. Since I have a pretty demanding class schedule, I won't be able to have very many actual events where I can get the word out about what I'm doing. I have, however, found a very fun way to put condoms in every dorm at my university. I'm going to make condom trees (small ones) and put them in the lobbies along with information about the condom campaign and my contact information on a poster (or maybe a pamphlet?). So I guess I'll be heading to Hobby Lobby while I wait for my supply to arrive.
