I'm also sure that no one "decided" anything before sleeping with anyone. Again, these are kids and they didn't plan for this to happen.

All they were interested in was having sex with their bfs.

They probably never thought they'd get pregnant. No kid ever does. They have the "it won't happen to me" syndrome.

Since they don't think it will happen to them, they rarely take their parents advice and get on the pill or use a condom, and that typically = a baby.

THANK YOU for the explanation! Even at 21, I admit I am VERY sheltered, and I don't have any friends who had an "oops baby" incident. I totally understand now. I seriously did not know that this happened in this country SO MUCH where MTV could find enough girls to make a whole show about it! I am almost embarrassed to say that, but I'm just being honest. I guess this show AND this thread have really opened my eyes!
