Sex Ed isn't the only thing they're not getting. They're not getting regular "ed" either. Their spelling, grammar and writing style is terrible.
Parents are so detached. These days parents strive to be a friend instead of a responsible parent.

In defense of the women who posted on here who actually weren't teenagers and had been pregnant before, there are no bells and whistles that go off when you are pregnant. And missing a period alone is not an indication of pregnancy. I am pregnant with my fourth child and each pregnancy has been different. With my present pregnancy I didn't even test until I was 2 weeks late because I had absolutely no symptoms other than the missed period. While trying for my third child I thought for certain I was pregnant because I was 9 days late, had sore breasts, fatigue, all classic symptoms. But it turned out to be hormones, not pregnancy. I wasted so much money on tests and doctors visits only to have a period start a week later. And I have always been the type of person who has a period every 30 days. If I don't I'm pregnant. So you just never know.
I think the biggest problem is the internet. You can go online and really read yourself into a frenzy about anything. And then your mind starts playing games on you. You "imagine" symptoms.
I don't disagree with the comments about kids and lack of sex ed. But you can't assume just because someone posts that they think they might be pregnant and don't know for certain that they are teenagers.

The lack of sex ed could be the problem, or the fact that kids think they are invincible against this type of thing. Also, they may be lacking attention and figure this is a good way to obtain some. The scariest part is, if these people really didn't use protection at all, pregnancy is the least of their problems. STD's anyone?

it seems like young girls get an adrenaline rush from pregnancy scares...i think they think theres something cool about the idea of expecting and they just want to be in that position. I don't think that sex eduction means anything anymore...back in the day, sex education came before alot of girls started having sex so its was good information but nowadays, the girls have already had sex and since nothing happened to them like STDS or Pregnancy , they dont think it ever will.
I suggest, sex education be moved to elementary schools and then a refresher course in junior high, i think you can still scare children under 12 into waiting until marriage or at least giving them something to consider. Most kids are having sex by age 12 which is really sad...I'm sure the majority of people asking these pregnancy questions are under 16.

Sex education is not doing it for sure. I think we should get realistic people with real live stories to tell and wake up these kids. The world has gone crazy, they say our future is in our young people. Is our future secured with all the mistakes that the young people are making today. Obviously not. Frankly I'm very concerned. It seems the world is just sex obssessed (among other obssessions) and the kids have caught onto that. Besides its a contradiction when you're telling kids to abstain and then give them condoms to protect themselves. Frankly the whole world is a bowl of contradictions. No wonder they're confused.

Maybe this is a positive point for Yahoo!Answers. Apparently a lot of kids read these questions and answers. It's good education, if (hopefully) the answers are serious and to the point.
By the way, "pulling out" is very bad birth control. It fails 50% of the time.

Well, I've you've ever had sex ed you'd know that pulling out isn't effective either. If you read some of the pregnancy questions, a lot of these people want to be... and I know a lot of them are afraid they are... but you have to look at it with an open mind.

IMHO...I think kids now a days think that babies are cute (Mainly girls) and they do have sex ed classes, but that cuteness outweighs the fact that babies are such a huge handful and more girls are wanting kids earlier and of course (no offense) boys are usually all for having sex, no matter what it could lead to! I agree that parents need to do more about this too though. We (Yes I have 3 kids) need to inform them of how hard it is to have kids now a days, let alone grandkids that you have to raise while your kids are still growing up!
Who am I to say though?!

I agree. With girls maturing faster now it is more important than ever to teach sex ed at a younger age. Hell it is possible for a 9 or 10 yr old to get knocked up now days.

I believe kids are getting sex ed, but there has been so much media out there that associates casual sex with feeling desired, attractive and happy. So people who feed into that are not thinking rationally about their sexual practices.
Our society promotes sexuality but rarely shows the downside of the negative consequences.
I believe if people saw more images of the "downside" of casual sex, they would be able to relate to that and be more cautious.

I completely agree, I understand parents don't want to see their "baby" grow up, but part of them growing up is telling them the things they need to know about like sex and puberty. Some times all the kids get are what they are taught at school and that is not much at all. Teach your kids about the world and about sex even if it is uncomfortable for you or your "babies" will be having babies.
