Best Answer

Yes and no. It was relatively easy - they were available in restrooms, from clinics, and of course drugstores. However, in some parts of the country, there was (and is) a social stigma associated with fornication. As such, people were apprehensive about possessing (or buying) condoms. Because people didn't want to be seen buying them, they were often stolen. Because they were stolen, you had to ask the pharmacist behind the counter for them. This led to more embarrassment, etc.

So, the bottom line is yes, they were available (and easy to get) if you didn't worry about the social issues associated with being caught with them.

Why teenagers life easier?

Teenagers life can be easier than those of adults. Teenagers main job is to get an education, or get trained in a trade so that he/she can move on with life. Food, shelter, clothing, and other reasonable expenses are borne by the parents. If teenagers can concentrate on what is expected from them their life can be easy. If however, the teenagers have unrealistic expectations, eagerness to bypass the time to mature but get rich, wealthy, and enjoy all the pleasures of life immediately, then life will not be easy. Add to this peer pressure and readily available distractions, a teenagers's life need not necessarily be easy. It is all a matter of choice.

Are teenagers given enough guidance?

I am a social worker and think that some teenagers are not given enough guidance and that teenagers are not to blame for there actions as they do not have enough guidance. Teenagers these days do not have enough restrictions or boundaries to tell them the when they should stop doing what they are doing. I also think that if teenagers were given the right amount of guidance teenagers would not be easy targets for the media and would be achieving more.
