This year, more than 750,000 teens will become pregnant. Why not take a responsibility & buy birth control?

Answer 1

Because people are stupid.

Answer 2

Yes. But while I agree with you that you should be responsible enough to buy birth control if you want to have sex, truth is, even in America, education in that area is still lacking. Not only because of legislations which prevent schools from teaching safer sex, but also in inner-cities and rural areas. Not to mention the fact that condoms are actually still unaffordable for some people, and if they don't have a PP or other center in their area, they can't access them for free.

Answer 3

some can't afford it!
some are not smart and get pressured into having sex!

when i was younger my mom said she was going to put me on the pill!
well my our health insurecne laps she lost her job and we had not health insurance!
now if you do research you will see there are more underclass people who are already having the choice of picking between heat and food! rent and car inseurance (have to have that BS) so paying out anything over 1 dollar is too much more so if your a parent struggling with this and you have pounded into your childs head not to have sex because of it!

maybe if americans didn't treat sex as such a bad things soon as the teens find a place to do it maybe they would do something else! look at other culters and their children know about sex prior to going to school!

if your a teen and someone says no bad dont' do that! what do most of them do! they go do it!

it's a gift lets treat it that way!

Answer 4

My ex was a school teacher and every time she would call parents to have a meeting with them to discuss their childs behavior. Their answer when she would ask if their child misbehaves like that at home. The most common answer is NO. Their child was an angel at home. So if they ignor their child's behavior, what do you think they will do concerning their children having sex. Outta sight outta mind. It is a personal denile and few of them want to deal with something as taboo sex.

It is called get a life.

Answer 5

Yeah, I say birth control is the answer. Lets just put all kids on birth control starting at say the age 12 and then watch how the STD epidemic rises. Teach abstinence, damn it and know where the hell your children are is my answer.

Answer 6

Hello! That would make far too much sense. It's better to tell hormone driven teens at the height of sexual curioudity that they should just keep it zipped. After all, the teenage brain is SO good at making rational decisions.

Answer 7

I think it is better not to have sex when you are a teen. That is the most effective birth control.

Answer 8

Geeze wish it was that easy. Try being a diabetic, the high sugar is a wonderful form of natural birth control I would know already lost one kid

But other then that its not free and therefore many cant

Answer 9

And failing that, get an abortion. People shouldn't bring a life into this world until they're ready.

I agree. Raising a kid takes a lot of responsibility.

Answer 10

I'm happy to say I have *never* had sex without using birth control.


It's vitally important to be safe when engaging in sexual activity, which is why it's sad that so many Christians are opposed to teaching kids how to be safe. By pushing "abstinence only" education, they directly harm children.

Answer 11

I'm with you there sister.

Unfortunately, if you are under the fearsome spell of the Catholic church you will be damned forever if you use contraception.

Ironic isn't it, that the Catholic church preys on the poor and the least well-educated?
