Some teens maybe don't have the maturity to make the connection between 'unprotected sex' and 'babies'. It requires thinking about consequences of one's actions

- ChicagoBoy11 10y agoNo, teens certainly have the maturity to understand that connection quite well. What they don't have is the intellectual and hormonal maturity to realize that these connections also apply to them no matter how clever they believe they are
- edblarney 10y agoWhich is what I meant to say :) Obviously teens are aware of the relationship, but contextualizing it within one's own life is hard.
- drdeadringer 10y agoTo be fair, that applies to many people across many things. "It won't happen to me" type of thinking is quite common across many ages for many scenarios.
