Because it could have broke, or been defective. Or he could have kept going after, and it squished out over the rim.

1) Apparently people don't know how to put them on properly (I am so not kidding)
2) Teens tend to store them in places like their wallet or pocket for long periods which is not a good plan
3) No one ever tells them if you squeeze a condom wrapper and there is no air in it the condom is no good
AND the most important
Condoms are the only way to prevent STIs but the absolutely SUCK at preventing pregnancy. They have a real world failure rate of 10-20% and teens tend to have the higher rates. That's a LOT of unintentional pregnancies in 4 years of highschool. Look at the math, assuming a 17% failure rate:
First year -100 females are having sex using nothing but condoms, by the end of the year 17 are pregnant.
Second year another 17 females start having sex using nothing but condoms bringing the total back up to 100. Again another 17 are pregnant at the end of the year.
Repeat the second year math for the 3rd and 4th year.
At the end of 4 years of highschool 68 females are pregnant out of 151 females who were having sex during that time.

I don't know a lot of people who used condoms and got pregnant -- and unfortunately i know a lot of young people who got pregnant.
But condoms do break, no form a protection except abstinence is 100%. Which is why my doctor says to use multi-methods. Condoms and spermicide birth control and condoms and whatever other combo you can think of.
And the really sad thing about condoms is how few people know how to properly use them. I never once had a doctor ask me if I knew how to use them. And honestly I don't. My fiance does and I know well enough to use birth control as well.

Allot of young people just do not have the experience and put the condom on wrong. in most cases of a defective condom the real problem is misuse of the condom not an actual defect in the condom itself.

Because teenagers do it more often than old people ;) j/k. There's already a high rate of pregnancy in people that use condoms, add in the fact that they don't know how to properly use them and you get a higher rate of pregnancy than the percentage they put on the package.

You do realize condoms are not 100% effective right? And kids like to lie to keep them out of "worse" trouble. They aren't going to say "we had unprotected sex and now pregnant" nope, they say "but we DID use a condom! We thought it would work!" thinking their parents will take it easier that way.

Well.... condoms only protect you from getting pregnant 99% of the time, they can break, and some guys make a hole at the tip of the condom so you can get her pregnant.

Either it was not used properly or it broke and they didn't know that it did. Some people are even paranoid enough to take extra precautions and use two condoms (lol) and then it will definitely break.

condoms have a 20% failure rate for contraception when they are used correctly. Many people don't know how to correctly use condoms.

because condoms are not 100% effective. No contraceptive is going to protect you fully of getting pregnant because millions and millons of sperm are released at coming point
