My mom says this all the time.

The thing is that they're NOT mature. They're kids. All they were thinking about was having sex with their bfs. Not whether or not they wanted to get pregnant.

Also, some reasons teen girls put themselves in these situations:

*They "love" their bfs and think they'll "be together forever."
*They think "It won't happen to me."
*They can't go get the pill thelmselves and don't want to tell mom/dad that they're having sex so THEY can take them.
*Their bf says they don't want to use a condom. They don't want to tell bf "no" because they don't want bf to break up with them. So they do it anyway.
*They believe any number of stupid myths like "you can't get pregnant in a pool/standing up/your first time/whatever.

I could go on and on...
