How tragic that parenting is so devoid of character, so lacking trust and mentoring, that they assume the worst of their children. Imagine telling your child that you don't even trust her with her own body. They claim to be trusting, while at the same time trying to inoculate them rather than mentor them and trust them.
This is a basic question of morality. If you teach children by example that you are nothing more than mindless baboons that cannot live in a moral way, then perhaps you do need to protect them from their own poor choices.
Here's a thought. Make good choices.
If you went into your child's bedroom, and found her playing Russian Roulette with a revolver, which would be your response:
1 - leave without saying anything ... (apathy)
2 - take the revolver from her hand and give her a revolver with 12 chambers instead of 6 (reduce the risk)
3 - speak to her about how much God loves her, and how valuable she is.
Option 2 is the solution that the media and society and even the schools push on everyone. Handing out condoms or getting the promiscuous vaccine does nothing but reduce the risk. It does not protect the child, nor is it safe. It could perhaps be called safer....but certainly not safe.
There is so much focus on the negative, that it is difficult to see the simple solution. You concentrate on the positive, not the negative. You do what you should have been doing their whole lives, and talking to them about God, and His plan for them, and how very much He loves each one of them. He created them and their worth comes from Him, not from family nor friends. You tell children that they are accidents of nature, and overdeveloped baboons, and they will start acting like them.
HPV is spreading like wildfire, and condoms have little effect against the spread of this VD ... which is the only reason they worked so hard on getting this vaccine. Because you cannot tell people that there are dangers with acting immorally.
