Kids Condoms?!
April 23, 2010 by TreadmillsCenter · Leave a Comment
Yes, you are reading the title correctly, a company has actually released 12 yr old condoms! The real question that needs to be asked is, what impact is this going to make if released in countries such as the USA and Great Britain.
The story is that these condoms have been made for the smaller penis and specifically for children. The company are of course saying that this is going to benefit the world because if a child does go out and have sex then they are going to have better fitting condoms which of course means they are less likely to take them off because they are slipping.
It is true to say that many people have mixed opinions when it comes to something like these so called “hotshots” condoms and some parents think that it will decrease the amount of teen pregnancies whereas some of course think that it is merely going to encourage sex within young people which I believe will be the case.
Parents should not be handing out better fitting condoms but telling the children to go and have a game of soccer or doing something children do? Why do parents simply not sit their kids down and explain to them that what they really need to be doing is having fun and not having sex. Sex is of course not legal at this age and it should not be done by children of this age, why is this happening.
All in all, although condoms are supposed to be out there to help people in the case of children I really do not think that it is going to be the case. The entire prospect of condoms on children is just plain Dappy if you ask me and it most certainly should not be introduced here in the UK. For goodness sake why can children not just have fun and act like kids!
When Social Anxiety Stops Teens From Living Their Life

Do you know that social anxiety disorder is something that is devastating to many people, but specifically to teens? Teenagers who have a social anxiety problem, or simply social phobia, are very much concerned about being embarrassed or humiliated by other people. Despite their fears being wholly unreasonable, they cannot view them objectively, and friends and family members who try to encourage them are perceived as being ‘against them’.
We cannot deny the fact that being shy is something that is common to lots of us, however, for those people who are influenced by social anxiety disorder, they take a natural feeling and blow it out of all proportion. Such fears are so strong that it leads to the idea of staying away from all contact with groups of people where possible.
Teens who are socially challenged are always faced with the fear of doing something wrong and being harshly judged by others. They are virtually paralyzed with worrying about receiving negative reactions from all those whom they come into contact with. Therefore, they withdraw themselves and remain silent so as to draw as little attention to themselves as they can.
There are physical symptoms that are very apparent in teens who have social anxiety disorder. These teens tend to sweat excessively, tremble and blush. Aside from the physical symptoms, there are also behavioral symptoms that we can notice in them. The common scenarios wherein they manifest social anxiety disorder are engaging in conversation with others, giving oral presentation, and attending social events.
All such situations are seen by them as presenting opportunities where they may be criticized or laughed at. All teenagers may excessively fear being criticized or laughed from time to time, as this is part of the normal process of growing up, but for suffering from social anxiety disorder, rather than this fear arising occasionally, it is with them all of the time.
When a teenager is suffering from social anxiety disorder, they are advised to seek the assistance of a mental health specialist as soon as possible, so that they can be given with the treatment do deal with the social phobia. In doing so, affected teenagers can get back to being a ‘normal’ teen and have a real chance of having a successful and fulfilling life.
