What do you think is contributing to teen pregnancy?

a lack of sex education is obviously the first thing few teens have much if any sex education before they go off and have sex so they dont know the consequences of what there doing a lot of kids and teens dont know all the ways that pregnancy can occur, and even if they have protection, not all of them know how to use it properly then theres all the unhelpful/stupid/false advise they can get from the internet, magazines and from friends there own age also theres a kind of epidemic now were quite a few children and teens acually want to get pregnnat and be a teenage mum. these kids still rarely are educated about sex but they do it for other reaosns like they want soemthing to love or want all the mone the government will give them or want to be pregnant with ll there friends, ect but a lack of sex education id the first reason

I know a lot of teens at my school once they fall in love they just figure whatever happens,happens.If they pregnant they get pregnant if not,then they continue doing what they want.

lots of teens having sex before they are ready

Seems like the new “trend” is to have their pregnant bellies posted all over a social site.A few girls at my school love to show off their bellies.And then theres girls like me who try to hide it as much as possible.I dont flaunt it,I didnt do it on purpose and im not proud of it.but whats done is done and I will take responsibility for my actions.

I think it is because more and more young women think that they should have sex or are being forced to have sex at a younger age through peir preasure or through something else like a boyfriend wanting to have sex. they might feel that if they do it it will mean their an adult, wich isn’t true. they might want to grow up faster so they do that.It could be from the sexual things that go on tv like some anime( japaneze cartoon) or a soup opra. that is what I think. I hope I’ve helped.

because they’re too lazy / ignorant to use protection, and they don’t realize the repercussion

lots of teens having sex :)
