And most of all are our young adults being affected by it? .....

.... would have them or be able to get them if they need to use them. This would cut down on unprotected sexual intercourse and prevent the pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and H.I.V. infection. If a student was at a party and decided, on the spur of the moment, to engage in sexual intercourse, then it is more likely that they have a condom if schools distributed them.

.... working conditions. The twelve to sixteen hour days may have left no time for the immigrants to focus on the family values that they had always know, yet they were in a new country now and they needed to learn to carry on traditions and cultures where they were the minority. On the other hand, these immigrants added their cultures to the American society; thus none were forced to give up their roots.
