Come on why go through the bloody hassle of wondering whether your pregnant just buy some condoms, it will work out cheaper in the long run, rather than paying for a baby!

Because teenagers these days think that they are mature enough to have sex, but they dont stop and think about the conscequences. They think having sex is just fun and games. But when the pregnancy thing happens they act as if they were not prepared for it. I also think that most teens that are having sex are scared to go to a drug store or to the doctor to ask for condoms because they are having sex and they are not married and they are afraid of when they go buy these so called condoms, that the person at the register will look at them like they are crazy or something. That is just my opinion. I answered this the best way I could think of. So I hope you find the answer you are looking for.

i can actually answer this one rather well i am 18 and there is a very good chance i could be pregnant, my long term boyfriend 23yrs old and i had unprotected sex, we didn't have any condoms because he is a Christan and we did decide after the last time we has sex to not have sex before we got married, but hormones got carried away with us, up till then we did use condoms so one stupid mistake could be making us pay for the rest of our lives, i do have alot of support around me and i am a adult but in technical terms but still a teen, my advice to any teen is no glove no love pure and simple!!!

Teens are not educated and they are not capable of realising that they need to educate themselves, in fact most adults remain not-so-blissfully ignorant about their sexual health, even many doctors are not clued-in and the number of women I have come across who do not even know how to get pregnant is astonishing or girls who believe sex should be painful.
Unfortunately the only education many of us get is that safe sex equates to the use of condoms, when of course safe sex means a lot more that slapping on a rubber, I think many teens are too embarrassed to ask for condoms for free or ask how to put them on correctly, and it is the attitude of youth that ignoring the problem somehow makes it go away. A lot of teens are unaware of their bodies so worry even if they have not had sex, worry because they are not fully aware of their options or choices.
Teenagers are too young to understand consequences, without full education they have to learn through trial and error, they do not understand that having unprotected sex does not just mean putting themselves at risk but their partners, partners partners, future partners, future children, and so on. All they see is that if they get pregnant then their parents will find out they are sexually active, they see STD's as something that are out of sight and so out of mind.

ok I'm going to sound really bad here but take no offense, kids that don't use protection and get caught up in the heat of the moment and go around talking and wondering and worrying if they are pregnant, want drama, some towns don't have planned parenthood, what about the clinic they go into if they have a cold, what about having that talk with their parents and being honest, yes they are going to get their butt chewed for wanting to have sex, but being in the world were in now, parents and children should have a different relationship than they did 50 yrs ago, this is 2006, been there done that, parents should talk to their kids about sex and be there to guide them on all the birth-control out there, kids think it will never happen to them, parents have blinders on and think their kids will make better decisions, man I hope my kids come and talk to me or I will have to be the one to ask them and make the appointment for the daughter and do they make something for my son so he doesn't think with the wrong head,

im a teenager mysel and for the fine fact that there is still lots of teenagers out there that think its cool to get pregnant or because they enjoy the sex better without a comdom is just stupid. they need to think not just getting pregnant but all the other problems there is - like HIV, AIDS and all the other infections they can get from having unprotected sex !!!! i know you might not think this has answered your question but just thought i would make the point of tell all the teenagers that look at this question what other side affects there are having unprotected sex and that they have rest of their lives to have a baby. (well most of thier life)

We all did stupid things when we were teenagers....I know I did things that make me cringe when I think back on them. If we had more comprehensive sex ed in junior high and high schools and stopped making sex such a horrible thing and actually gave teens the information they need to keep themselves safe then it would be less of an issue. Sex is a normal thing, and teenagers are always going to do it no matter what any adult says. Better to give them tools and knowledge they need to be safe. Abstinence only programs make the situation worse not better.

Because these kids are so uneducated with the likes of using protection, so by the time the deed is done, they worry about the pregnancy. The next best thing is Levonelle which is a morning after pill. It doesn't make you sick and you only need to take it once. But they can't use this, willy nilly (excuse the pun). Only if their previous contraception didn't work.
I got taught by my school and by my parents, who were open about it and even gave me a simplified book about sex. Plus my mom put me on the pill at 13, not for sex, but in case of rape as I grew up in SA.

irresponsible . . . they are too young to have sex if they are not prepared for the consequences . . pregnancy is not the only thing they should be concerned with . . they are spreading who knows what . . . now days the world is too easy for a teen who gets pregnant . . I was shocked to hear that many highschools have on site day care for students . that's ridiculous if they are old enough to have sex they are old enough to get a job and support the consequences weather it be a baby or STD's thier parents shouldn't have to raise another child or even the treatment for STD . . .kids want to act like adults until something back fires and then mom and dad end up with the bill , My mother and father didn't know I was on birthcontrol while I was in highschool , I forged the signatures and paid for the doctor visits and for the pills myself. If you want to play adult games you've got to act like an adult.

I just wanted to state---there isn't a Planned Parenthood in every town. I believe most people would be suprised at how few there are.
There are adults who ask the same questions. I guess people will never learn. It's one of those "well--duh" kind of questions!
In closing it isn't just teens, it's people in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s.

Heat of the moment mixed with hormones. Plus they mightent always carry condoms around-and the chances to have sex may be few and far between.
