re: Don't forget the Norcan and Plan B....

End Norcan. Too many people on campus

If your kid needs narcan, plan b and condoms, either they weren’t properly raised or they’re going somewhere they have no business being.

Good. What’s wrong with this?

I figure you wouldn’t want your kid having sex, but would you have an issue with condoms or birth control? If you’re smart enough to know they should be prepared for reality, then you wouldn’t have an issue with condoms.

So what’s wrong with narcan and plan B? Narcan can save your kid’s life. Plan B can stop a college freshman’s pregnancy. Seems smart to me.

You can't fathom giving your kids Narcan, explaining what it does and what it's for, and making it clear that it's something to hopefully never have to use but it's a dangerous world and denying bad stuff is out there is foolish?

This is not the context I was responding to so it’s irrelevant. I’ve made it clear what my point is, so why keep making me respond to tangents?

What you're not understanding is that no one is saying that. You're just interpreting things that way.

That’s good. Glad they tell their kids something different than the “you’re going to do drugs anyway” that they post in here.

Not a good analogy. I didn’t say parents think their kids should do it.

You’re trolling right

It’s far better to provide these solutions because it provides a more realistic approach and point of view. It doesn’t mean they’ll ever get addicted to drugs, sex, etc just that they have access to those things to minimize hard and maintain their quality of life and dignity

We can agree to disagree. My kid will know how to obtain Narcan if that’s what they believe they need.

Well, you are really splitting hairs here. The point of your comment is that giving kids Narcan, which is for an absolute worst case scenario, would “reinforce that drugs are okay.” My point is that my dad giving me pepper spray, which is also for an absolute worst case scenario, didn’t reinforce in my mind that it was suddenly okay to engage in risky behaviors such as walking down a dark alley at night. I actually think it’s a pretty solid metaphor.

As I’ve said before it’s entirely dependent on what parents say. I have no doubt many parents will explain the reason for Narcan well. Although as we’ve seen many in here implying the kids will use anyway. So parents who are presenting it to their kids that way, are reinforcing the likelihood of needing it. I understand my original post was provocative but it was done purposely to expose this mindset that, “Well it’s going to happen anyway so might as well protect them”. Now many in here have responded to me that this is not their view or what they would tell their kid. And they were not my target audience.
