Does access to condoms or birth control pills lead to irresponsible, dangerous, or bad behavior?

     Does access to condoms or birth control pills lead to irresponsible, dangerous, or bad behavior? Honestly, I would have to think this thoroughly instead of researching about condoms and birth control pills effect on modern society. I think that condoms or birth control pills are the reasons for teen sex and pregnancy. Condoms and birth control pills, in my opinion, is there so that those, who chose to have teen sex, make the right chose to at least take a safer course. It is possible that condoms and birth control pills can stimulate ones mind to take this sexual action, but there are those who still take that path without having to be stimulated by a "sexual item". In fact, these items are just 'symbols' to take a safe course then to go around having sex getting and spreading sexually transmitted disease (STD).


     Many adults are saying that condoms and birth control pills are the reasons that young teens are having sex at such a young age, but I think this is only an excuse for them. Adults needed a reason for higher rates of teen sex and pregnancy, and condoms and birth control pills were right in front of them. In my opinion, there are more bigger and more stimulating factors to teen sex than condoms and birth control pills. Movies with sexual parts, novels, social internet websites, and many more can also cause teens to chose to have sex at a young age. In fact, these thing could be happening because teens' parents have not spoken to their children about the 'adult life', creating a curiosity to a young brain seeking for answers, and they cannot openly ask their parents about it since parents cannot even openly talk about it to their own children.

      I do not support those who think teen pregnancy is good, but I do not think it is wise for people to say that condoms and birth control pills stimulate irresponsible, dangerous, or bad behaviors. I think some, not all, but some of these things could be fixed with communications between parents and children in this modern generation where parents and their child do not speak to each other as much as they are supposed to.

SHOULD THE DEATH PENALTY BE USED TO PUNISH VIOLENT CRIMINALS?

     So the this time the question is, 'Should the death penalty be used to punish violent criminals?'. I think that criminal should not have death sentences. Many believe that giving life sentences are the only way to punish a person who has killed another person, but would not that just be the same thing? Would not killing a criminal also make us the same level as that criminal? The only difference between us is that they did it out of their own psychotic behaviours and that we are doing it out of our own selfish beliefs of doing a good deed. Either way, that would not change the fact that a person, even with crimes, is being killed with our own hands. Of course many will say they deserve it, but there are other ways to make them pay for their crimes that taking their life.
     If we really want to punish those who committed a crime, then I do not think that a death sentence would be the best way. I think that a death sentence is sometimes not a punishment, but more of a way to set a criminal free. The only people who are getting punished are those close to that person being executed. If we really want to punish them, then we should sentence them into life in prison. How will they know what they did wrong or be in agony for their crimes if they are dead? Death is not a punishment to criminals, it is a way for them to escape the world and from being truly punished for their crimes. So I do not think that the death penalty should be used to punish violent criminals, but instead, they should go through the same thing they did to their victims, and if they murdered their victims, then they should spend the rest of their lives in agony to atone for their crimes.
