What are the reasons why adolescents often do not consistently use contraception?
What will be an ideal response?
Student answers could include any of the following reasons: teenagers are not mature enough to admit to themselves that they are sexually active; using contraception requires planning, which is inconsistent with many adolescents' view of sex as spontaneous; some are afraid their parents will discover that they are sexually active; some teens say that contraceptives are not easily available; some teens still hold misconceptions regarding sex such as the belief that you cannot get pregnant unless you have sex frequently or that taking a single birth control pill shortly before or after having sex will protect from pregnancy; and many teens have a personal fable believing that pregnancy and STDs happen to other people but would never happen to them.
