Did you lose your virginity as a teen??
Report as
Yes it's there fault unless they are raped. It's their choice to have unprotected sex
Report as
nope i waited till i got out if school
Report as
Thesilenttruth, you can still get pregnant if you are using protection. You don't understand how a teenage girls mind works so you shouldn't be answering this question.

Better yet... Birth control

Onanism... pulling out... is responsible for more pregnancies than you think. Pre-ejaculate contains semen. Just sayin'.
Report as
yeah. lol. even still you should always pull out
Report as
Yep, and "pull out" doesn't work.
Report as
And pulling out is a really good way to end up pregnant. It's terribly ineffective as a means of birth control.
Report as
when i say pull out, im not talking about unprotected sex. even when using a condom and theyre on birth control, you should still pull out. sorry i didnt specify.

They think they love their boyfriend soooo much that they are going to live together forever ever and ever so they have sex because of their "love" and get pregnant.

They didn't teach them about the emotional or physical effects of sex when you are too young and they probably didn't teach them about birth control.

They realize they will have no Use of school and start living off child support at a young age

People do not think that. They would have more money staying in school and not raising a child.
Report as
Depends if they are smart, the government gives people well fare for kids. People see that as means of life
Report as
No teenage girl would have a baby to get money from the government because a baby cost more than the money they give you. No girl is going to rewin their future on purpose because of that.

I don't think most high schoolers who find themselves in this situation started out trying to get pregnant. The fact is that contraception, even when used properly and consistently, isn't 100% effective. Added to that is another fact in that teens girls are remarkably fertile, must more so than women in their 30s and 40s. Added to that is the frequency with which some teens have sex. It shouldn't be surprising that teen pregnancy is a rather common occurrence. Sad, but not surprising.

You can get pregnant even of you use protection. What's sad is that you think they don't know. Probably 90% of teen pregnancies were caused by contraception failure

Teens don't always get pregnant from not using protection. There are plenty who have defective condoms. They shouldn't be judged

Children are just that, CHILDREN. They do not have ability to completely grasp the magnitude of the consequences that they will face until it is too late. Most teen moms have said that they never thought this would happen to them and that they just weren't thinking when they got pregnant. Most teens are looking for acceptance and what they think is love from anyone who is willing. It's sad. Even the best parents in the world can end up having a child who makes this colossal mistake. It's just sad.

1. Most don't think it will happen to them. 2 .Some really think they found something they can do well( get pregnant)..and like the attention. Those girls aren't usually the most successful academically 3. To keep a boyfriend( doesn't work most of the time). 4. Too embarrassed to ask the guy to use a condom and too embarrassed to go get birth control for themselves.4. makes them feel grown up 5. missing love and affection at home so they try to get it the anyway they can and end up pregnant 6. Their own childhood was not good, or abusive, so they want a baby that they think they can do a good job loving and raising. 7 The baby will love me so much and fill some needs for love

naive parents who didnt take proper precautions to put the girl on birth control pills, the guy said he was using a condom and didnt. maybe his parents didnt give him the 1 on 1 about the birds and the bees etc.

Well you see when a man and woman decide to have sexual intercourse the sperm comes from the man and fertilizes the woman's egg and creates a baby. The same reason adults get pregnant.

I got pregnant in high school, and it was a mistake then. But I wouldn't take it back for anything now. Im only 20 and my son is 2. he is my life. And his father isn't in the picture. It's amazing how much people change in those 4 years. It's just carelessness, not being fully educated about the subject. If I did it all over, I'd make the same decision because of him.
