Just wondering...ask if they are pregnant or not?

Why do a lot of teenage girls use FunAdvice to ask if they are pregnant or not? Do they think we can give psychic pregnacy tests and get accurate results? Just asking because I see a lot of those questions and it makes sense to me to go to my doctor or take a home pregnancy test instead of asking complete strangers.

Answer #1

Most tennagers do it because this is supposed to be a SAFE place for them to come to for advice. How many 15 and 16 yr olds can just drive to the drug store and get a pregnancy test without being noticed? Hardly any! So the next best thing is the internet, what are syptoms? How can you tell for sure? Think about what you were like at their age. False identity is a good way to find out answers and not be embarressed by the fact that their so young. I mean the world today promotes sex everywhere you look, so you cant even say, DONT HAVE SEX. Which you see a lot under the questions they’ve asked.

Answer #2

They do this because if they are teenagers, there embarresed to go buy a test so before there actually know that its nessary to buy a test they want a good reason to.

Answer #3

Yeah…using preggo or preggas is annoying.

I don’t know, it just seems useless to me because the symptoms of pregnancy are the symptoms of many other things. It would just make sense to get it over with and get the absolute assurance first thing, instead of taking the time to get on the internet and stressing out more.

But then again, most teenagers think irrationally…

Answer #4

I think many of them – or most of them – post ‘am I pregnant’ questions for reassurance that they aren’t pregnant. There are not many teenage girls who are hoping to get pregnant, and so instead of facing the possibility that it’s true, they come here for a few reassuring words of ‘Don’t worry, it’s probably not the case.’

Answer #5

ughhh I know.. it annoys me, I guess that they just feel nervous or scared and want some kind of reassurance if they are afraid to ask someone they know face to face in case they will get angry.

I hate it when they say ‘I’ think I’m preggas’… ughh!! Type it out fully at least!!! Grrr stuff like that really annoys me :P

Answer #6

I always use my magic 8 ball to tell

and frankly most of the time it say’s “what am I psychic?”

damn magic 8 ball…

Answer #7

Mostly they’re wondering if their symptoms mean they could be pregnant.

Sometimes they need that little assurance before they go take the test.

Answer #8

Totally that is kinda stupid
