¶ … Condoms Prevent Teen Pregnancy Millions and billions of people who survive in this world are segregated into diverse cultures and civilizations with different sets of norms and values for living. Amongst these culturally diverse people, numerous social issues exist. However, few of these social issues have emerged on a global platform, where scores of nations are confronting these issues on a mutual basis.

The social issue of teen pregnancy in the past few decades has become one of the escalating and serious social issues in many parts of the world, and United States is one of those nations. However, today, numerous options are available for the people of all ages (teens as well as adults) that can help them prevent the birth control or pregnancy. Condoms are one of the effective, popular and perhaps the oldest forms of contraception that helps in birth control (Feinstein, 2009).

In this regard, the question has been raised that whether condoms prevent teen pregnancy or not, and has also been a hot topic of discussion, arguments and quarrels. This issue has provided controversial and different opinions and perspectives by the experts and common people.

I firmly believe that condom is a vital and imperative step for the teens in their sexual relationships because it protects the sexually active youngsters from having undesired pregnancies. Even though, the opponents claim that access to condoms also promote and persuade the youth to get involved in sexual activities, yet, the access is an essential element that cannot be ignored as birth prevention contraceptive (Feinstein, 2009).

Sexual relationships in a young age has become an attribute of the teenage culture that is presided over their distinct rules, customs and norm and are quite different from the teachings of their parents.
