It's going to expire! Chicks are hard to get in teens.

Well, the question was "What is something worth buying as a teen?"

Condoms only cost a couple dollars, but can save you the much greater cost of dealing with an unwanted pregnancy or an STD. If the time for the seks comes unexpectedly, and you have a condom around, you'll be REALLY glad you have one. Plus, they're always a fun topic of conversation: "woah, what's that?" "well, you know how I am, heh heh..." "oh yeah then why's it almost expired?" etc.

They expire after 3-5 years. Then you can open them and inflate them and use them for a prank or art installation or something, and go get some more.

Buy one for fun. Buy 144 and be gross.
