Well to be honest no. Not in the full sense, my generation was taught abstinence only and how our female bodies worked(i.e. menstration) but nothing about babies. We didn't talk about condoms, or family planning. At home my mother and i were close and i could ask her anything, but for some people that sort of talk is akward and may never happen. Americans are often closed about sex, they don't want to discuss it. not only publically but privately, this is the bigger problem. young people should feel comfortable asking these questions, not just on the net but at home and school where responsible adults can share facts with them and help them to make wise decisions. AND I DON'T FEEL THAT THESE GIRLS ARE STUPID. I think society owes them a good explanation that they are obviously not getting at home. We shouldn't insult them, we should help them cuz obviously no one else has. If you don't like the questions don't answer them or better yet start looking into changing the system. write your senators, tell them to encourage comprehensive sex ed, that teaches abstinence and sexual saftey.

What about the boys who are the fathers of these pregnancies. Maybe since you fail to recognize the boy's responsibility you are part of the problem. Maybe teaching girls the "facts of life" doesn't really work, if it ever did work. Maybe teaching girls that they aren't second class citizens they won't feel subordinated to boys and won't feel like they have to have sex to be accepted. Why is it the girls fault. What about the parents of the boys who are raised to think it's okay to nail a girl and then take no responsibility. Wake up and smell the coffee.
PS: I wish only daughters upon you to pay for your ignorance.

I think that the world is full of girls with very little self worth and with worse self images than we had growing up. Unfortunately, I think a lot of girls today use sex as a means of getting attention and keeping a guy that could care less about them and more about where their next piece is coming from. It doesn't help that a lot of these girls are undereducated, third generation welfare recipients who have mommas who would rather do meth and smoke crack with their low life boyfriends than spend quality time with them.

They DO know the facts of life. ACTING on that and being responsible is another thing. They are probably thinking "Yes, Yes, I know but it won't happen to ME".
But I have to be more sympathetic. Once an unwanted baby is out there, it is not the time for should;ve could've....These girls have real problems and they need real help and to be able to see their choices. This is probably not the world's best place for that...but hey, they are reaching out to someone.

The people that ask that are worried and confuzed not to mention paranoid they could get the birds and bee's talk and still not know the symptoms. Maybe they just want some personal experiences because they dont believe EVERY thing they read on the web!

I kind of wonder what your point is, no offense intended.
Girls have had this prob to some extent since the dawn of time. Its an inevitable product of democracy.
It is just that they have an avenue to post, which is why you see it here. Ten years ago im sure girls would have posted it to if this existed

IT'S NOT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT LIFE, THEY STILL HAVE GIRLS THAT THINK IF THEY GET PREGNANT THE GUY WILL BE THERE FOR THEM OR HE WANT LEAVE AND WHEN IT HAPPEN THEY HAVE A CHILD FOR THEIR PARENTS TO TAKE CARE OF. YOU KNOW AND I KNOW ONCE THEY GET PREGNANT THE BOY IS GOING TO MOVE ON AND FIND A NICE GIRL THAT WON'T HAVE SEX WITH HIM AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPEN AND HE NORMALLY MARRIES THAT PERSON. IF I'M WRONG LET ME KNOW NOT ALL BUT MOST GUYS DO JUST THAT.

You and everyone else sees them posted here. Most probably are teenage girls who don't won't their parents knowing that they are sexually active. So instead of being reasonable and getting a pregnancy test they just use "Yahoo Answers" .... Hey it's 99.9% accurate right? lol

well i know some parents are just not willing to talk about that stuff to their children, like my parents did. and parents trust too much and give them too much freedom i think. they just get involved in the wrong crowds and start doing all those things

naw they do in 4th grade, 7th grade, and 9th grade, but as soon as they meet a guy, they forget everything they were taught and while his penis is shooting thousands of sperm into her, she doesnt realize the stupidity of her actions untill afterwards when she finds oiut she is pregnant.
