I read a story over the holidays and it kind of shocked me. While the teens are out on winter break a Philadelphia school district installed 22 condom machines on campus.Apparently there is an epidemic of STD's amongst Philly's teens. It is a pilot program designed to address the problem of adolescent STD's. They started giving away condoms to teens in 2011 and report that STD rates are falling.

Do we need a program like this in Tri-Cities? Would it fly in this area? Just curious and I have a teen at home!
