Not going to judge, but I would like you to be honest!
Did you receive sex ed before becoming pregnant? Did you think you got get pregnant ONLY 1 day a month?
Looking back was the sex ed class helpful? Did your parents talk to you about sex? Did you have an open relationship with your parents to discuss sex?

Thank you ladies for the honesty. I tried to be nice about it. I was just wondering if sex ed was taught. Some of the questions on this topic (pregnancy) scare the H*ll out of me. It seems that some people don't understand what can cuase pregnancy.
I, NEVER went through sex ed and never had my parents talk to me about sex. I learned everything from friends and through research. I also was forced onto BC at 15 by my parents and when i did become sexually active I did use condoms EVERYTIME.
With me I was soo worried about STD's and HIV.

I was 18 when I accidentally got pregnant. We didn't use any protection - we were both virgins. I remember thinking at the time "Yeah, it could happen, but what are the odds?" I really didn't think it would happen to me.
It has been proven that teenager's brains are not developed fully in the frontal cortex - the part of the brain that deals with future and consequences. I was truly a "it won't happen to me" person.
Oh, and I don't remember ever talking about ovulation or anything in health class. We just did role-playing exercises where we had to pretend we had a baby and no money. There was to real life discussion regarding when and how one gets pregnant.

I was 19 when I had my first baby, but I remember in my senior year of high school that 4 of maybe the 10 girls in the class were already pregnant. And every year from freshman on there was always at least one pregnant or with child or children. It was sad. I never had a sex discussion out of class with my parents, and didnt really bother showing up for class that much, but we were only there for 4 hours a day, and health class for me started at like 6:30 am so it was hard with my family life. I knew that I could get pregnant more than one day a month. But Sex ed was sorta helpful. I remember them showing us the abortion tape, as a senior, and that was horrible. Imagine just eating your pop tart and then watching something so horrible. My father passed away when I was 16 and I could talk to him about anything. My mom and I to this day dont have a good relationship.

Yes my parents educated me very well on sex, and I did take a sex ed course in school but it was basically a joke. I did a lot of research so that I could better inform myself on the whole thing, it is pretty funny because I was 17 I think giving other women tips on how to conceive and how to avoid pregnancy. Obviously I wasn't as good as I thought with it because I became pregnant while on the shot. Although all of my advice and help to those who wanted to get pregnant and those who didn't has worked still to this day I was the one who got pregnant. I am not worried about it though because my son is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I was 19 when I got pregnant and delivered my son. I did have a very open relationship with my parents and I think my interest to know more about the female anatomy and how reproduction worked was when my mom and dad were trying to conceive another child. But I don't think it really matters how much info you do or don't know about sex, things happen for a reason and obviously it was God's plan for me to be blessed with my son at the time that he was conceived.

Im 19 and have a beautiful planned baby girl she is 8 months old and im very lucky we never did any sex ed at school but as i said im lucky because my mum is so open with us kids and i wish all perents to be with there kids i no when my little girl grows up my husband and i are going to be open with her she can come talk to us about anything
im going back to school this year to finish my year 11 and 12 i want to become a midwife i wish teens these days were more educated because than there would b alot less unwanted babys in this world
i also would like to say to the beautiful women that wrote she gave her baby to a great family i just want to say good on ya your a beautiful person and i wish you all the best with your life
maybe schools should get a teen mum to go to the school and talk to the kids and tell them what its really like to b a mum maybe than more girls will stop having unprotected sex

I was 16 when I got pregnant. I didn't remember a thing from my sex ed classes. My parents never discussed sex with me at all. During my pregnancy my parents tried repeatedly to force me to have an abortion. I knew it wasn't the right answer for me. My father to this day will not talk to me. I gave birth to a healthy girl, who just recently turned 17, and I gave a couple who couldn't have children a daughter to raise and love. My father may not talk to me, but there is a little girl out there who looks just like me, and has a mother and father that love her unconditionally. What more could I ask for? So any parents out there make sure you communicate with your children. I do with my son, we talk about everything from the changes his body will go through as he gets older sexually transmitted diseases. Our schools educated our children of the dangers unprotected sex can lead to, but it's up to each parent to give their kids more knowledge, and someone they can talk to.

i was 14 when i fell pregnant BIG mistake. it was my first time ever and i just finished my period, which they say you are more likely to fall pregnant half way through your cycle so work that one out. sex ed whats that??? just jokes um well sex ed does teach you but at the end of the day if you choose not to use something then its your own fault. my dad said to me "when you start having sex i'll get you on the pill." i replyed dad too late i think i'm pregnant.
thats all i know you work it out
