And for heaven's sake, people, please educate yourself about how your body, birth control, etc, works when you start having sex! *pet peeve*

^^ Just in case anyone missed it the first time.

I'm a little more concerned you and your friend think the "pull out method" is a form of birth control.

Your jaw would drop if I told you all the absolutely ridiculous "pregnancy prevention methods" that some people use.

WHY does this stuff still exist in countries where there is so much ready access to reliable, scientific information?!? If nothing else, there's always Planned Parenthood to get information from. I never thought these myths were true.

Most kids don't get the talk from their parents/are too shy to ask for contraception & listen to their virgin friends who brag about having had sex & using the pull out method or any other of those ridiculous things.

It's always been my own personal belief that until you completely understand how something works, you do not attempt it, sex included. I wish other people adopted this same belief.

You also have to keep in mind the numerous parents who foolishly believe "Well, if I teach my children about sex, that just means they're going to go our right away and do it, so I think I'll keep them in the dark and that will make them less likely to experiment", when in fact the opposite is true. Let's not forget the people who spread false information about birth control ("The pill aborts babies!")

Not everyone shares the same mentality, it's all down to peer pressure & lack of education.
There's no sex ed in the UK, they think it's inappropriate, I educated myself & my mother gave me "the talk", unlike my friends.
I know more than 10 girls either from my year at school or in my group of friends that have either been pregnant & had a miscarriage or an abortion, are pregnant or have a child/children.
I'm 18 & a few girls got pregnant in the last year of school back when we were 16, I've know pregnant 13 year olds, & I've known girls who have no idea how to use protection & think the "pull out method"/all that is an adequate form of pregnancy prevention, I've known kids who had no idea how sex works & thought you had to do it in the belly button to get a baby.
The list is endless, I just wish someone would educate children early enough to stop them getting themselves into a pickle.

Oh & also, being on the pill doesn't mean anything. I know many girls who were on the pill who fell pregnant. It happens to a lot more people than anyone would think. Not saying she is, but you wont know for certain until she takes a test

Exactly! I was on the pill when I got pregnant with my daughter and the shot when I got pregnant with my oldest son. BC doesn't work for everyone. And before someone starts the lecture on not taking it correctly, save your breath.

Oh goodness, no don't worry, I know the "pull out method" is pretty silly. I think at the time they just figured it couldn't hurt. I know I personally would never ever rely on that method alone for protection, and I doubt my friend would either. If she wasn't on BC I'm sure they would never have done this at all. It is scary how BC just doesn't work for some people, though.

I know the list is endless, my question was more rhetorical than anything. I am much older than you are and even when I was a teenager and there was less access to information than there is now, I knew these things, as did my friends. And I was never given the talk by my mom. I educated myself, and I mean educated, not listened to what other people said. I guess it depends on a lot of factors, and my group of friends seems to have been unusual in educating ourselves.

Yeah, not a great percentage of my generation seems to have the common sense to educate themselves & I mean that in the least offensive way. I also blame the school board & parents for banning sex ed, especially the parents for not educating their kids & supplying them with contraception (I know most parents don't want to think of their kids being sexually active, but it doesn't hurt to have the talk).
