1st of all what is going thru the head of a 16 year old to have 5 pregnancies and only 1 result in a child? In 1 year!
1x a mistake okay a 2nd maybe but 5 pregnancies in 12 months!!!!!
I had my 1st child at the age of 17 and boy was it hard! (I didnt know I could get on birth control without my mother's concent. When I was planning on having sex I asked my mother for birth control and she denied it and I was unaware that I could get it w/out her permission 2nd pregnancy I was 19 and I WAS on b/c and took my pill religiously at the same time everyday didnt miss 1 and ended up pregnant after 2 years of being on the pills.
2nd How can a DR. insert and IUD in a teen or anyone for that matter and not explain what they need to look for and that they need to check their strings!
Can people who know how to wrk the computer really be this naive? Its hard for me to believe such a story!

You make good points...I have no clue why, in this day and age, there still seem to be large numbers of uneducated people who do not have access to the basics on birth control and all the side effects/dangers/statistics...or why the people giving them these products are not taking the time to do basic patient education. Good luck and God bless!

Unfortunately, sometimes our state governments prefer to keep us in the dark about all matters sexual. In the state that I am currently living, teachers may not teach about anything other than abstinence. You would not believe some of the really warped things that I have heard come out of teenagers' mouths about birth control. Or maybe you would. It's just sad.
So, we can't tell you about birth control, and if you're raped or the condom breaks, we don't have to tell you about the morning after pill (and pharmacists don't have to fill it), and if you want an abortion, you're screwed there too, unless you're dying, because we've banned that, too.
Welcome to beautiful South Dakota. (I'll get off my soapbox now - this is a major pet peeve of mine - can you tell???)

We are all naive and we all put too much trust in doctors
