Answer 1

Teens get preggers cause there horny, losers ,who wanna be like everybody else or "cool", so they have s*x & are dumbasses & don't you condoms or go on the pill & then they s***w there whole lives up , or like my sister think there in love & wanna get married & have kids!

well  

hope I helped

Answer 2

i really think it has a lot to do with the acceptance of things like s*x in the media like on TV.  a lot of celebrities are having tons of babies but arent married and kids watch this.  Shows directed towards kids like disney channel also have kids kissing each other.  it is just the society we live in that influences them to think its okay.  i know how you feel it is crazy but good for you.  just stay like that and try to be a good role model for others! =]

Answer 3

Because most of us are careless and irresponsible and don't think about the consequences. I'm with you on the whole thing of waiting until I'm sure I'm with the right person. I know a few girls I went to elementary school with got pregnant or are pregnant right now. They have s*x with people they barely know, and for what I don't know.

Answer 4

teens are uninformed about safe s*x and/or they have its not going to happen to me mentality. I also think the lack of religious belief in kids today cause less kids to be scared to have s*x due to moral or religious beliefs plus now a days kids go through puberty sooner so they are able to get preg early in life...but there will always be teen pregnancies theres no getting around it

Answer 5

sometimes it's an accident.

trust me, honey. pregnancy can happen in SO much ways, in SO little time.

Answer 6

I agree that any one under 18 is to young! but I do know of some that are happy to raise a baby younger, but I think its up to parents make sure that their kids are using birth control, I have a daughter who came to me when she felt she was ready for the big s*x thing. Parents and education is needed  

Answer 7

long story short

because some teens are dumb, immature, and irresponsible, and dont realize that having s*x may end up with them having a child nine months later

Answer 8

dey get horny and lose control like idiots

Answer 9

because most of us are s***s and think it's big to have s*x then get them selves pregnant how clever ( not )  

Answer 10

They think it's cool to have s*x and get pregnant, that's the conclusion that everyone on this earth has made.

Answer 11

I agree with you. I'm 14 too, and yes, i know, in my high school, there's a few girls that are pregnant... i watch them passing through the hallways, with there big growing belly, & all, & well, It's kind of like "Juno" Movie Right? Ha..

Well, i think what you said was great! waiting for a guy that you really like & yes i totally agree with you! I'm going to do the same, i think it's very horrible that these girls do this, & they are very stupid. But hey, what can we do about it, except for us not to do the same mistake as them.  

Answer 12

people dont have s*x just because its "cool"

or atleast the people i know. Alot of the cases kids so young have s*x is because they get caught in the momment or they are pressured into having s*x.

Answer 13

People want to have s*x they just don't know what comes out of having s*x.

I don't think it's exactly fair of you to judge them based on their actions and what came of it. It's actually honorable that a teen will have s*x and make up for their mistake. I'm not saying a child is a mistake nor getting pregnant needs to be 'made up' but she's trying. I knew a girl that was pregnant when I was 15 and she was 14.. She had the baby and gave it up for adoption. She didn't want to hurt her baby she just knew what she was and that she couldn't take care of a baby.

Don't judge someone before you ask.  

Answer 14

one word: media (jamie lynn)

Answer 15

13 is too young for many ppl 2 b having s*x. most ppl at that age don't know what to do. They don't us condoms. the are to stupid for tier age. teen pregnancies will never be normal. you can't even support a baby at 13. most likely the father want take care of the baby anyways.

Answer 16

In most cases teens are becoming pregnant because of lack of information. They just don't know how to protect them self and fell shy to ask or cannot get the needed information. If every teen would have information about "First time s*x" and "Safer s*x" - the number of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies will be mush less.

Answer 17

they are gettting pregnant cause they are careless... also you hit the nail on the head... they are trying to fit in.... and I really hope that in 20 years its not socially ok....  as I'm 29 never married and dont have any kids.... I am fast becoming a minority !

Answer 18

Because teens are just that, teens.  They should be having fun and enjoying life.  Not having s*x or having the responsibility of caring for a baby.  Sounds like your a responsible young woman who will make wise choices in her life.  Keep up the good work!  I"m sure your family is proud :))

Answer 19

because they're so stupid. are the condoms so expensive??

Answer 20

there are  MILLION reason, peer pressure, undereducated, parent said not to have s*x and didn't give a reason. to prove something, are being selfish in wanting a baby to love them because they don't feel love

i blame the parents more than any thing. for not having a bunch of talks with their child about the pro, cons, the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between about s*x

Answer 21

from the second post: They think it's cool to have s*x and get pregnant, that's the conclusion that everyone on this earth has made.

Answer 23

The best answer I have read is by "Prof. Dr. Gayane Dolyan". Teens in the US are not taught the basics of s*x in "s*x Education" classes early enough plus they do not have easy access to condoms and other contraceptives when they are having s*x.

In the US it is common for girls to start having s*x between 13-15 with some starting earlier and a smaller number starting later.

Culture, customs, religion, nationality, ethnicity, socio-economic circumstances, location of where they live, peer pressure and the pressure of wishing to stay a boy's 'girlfriend' often determine when a teenager will start having s*x.

As I said, it is usual for girls in the US to start having s*x at 13. If the girl is comfortable about the situation, is not being 'peer pressured' into having s*x by her friends or boyfriend and is using proper contraception (preferably both the pill and condoms -- condoms can break and a girl may forget to take the pill) then I cannot see anything wrong.

You must remember that even 50-60 years ago and earlier, girls in the US were marrying at 13 and it was legal. Attitudes change.

You must also remember that in many countries around the world girls marry around 12-15, and in some African countries at aged 9 and expected to have s*x with their husbands.
