Discuss three reasons why sexually active adolescents do not use birth control
What will be an ideal response?
Sexually active adolescents do not use birth control consistently or correctly. First, many
adolescents are ignorant of basic facts of conception, and many believe that they are
invulnerable—that only others become pregnant. Second, some teenagers do not know how to use or where to obtain contraceptives, and others are embarrassed to buy them. Third, for some adolescent girls becoming pregnant is appealing. They think having a child is a way to break away from parents, gain status as an independent-living adult, and have "someone to love them.".
