But as I said before, the majority of teenagers who get pregnant are the ones who don't have a proper knowledge or understanding of sex and contraception. They might not understand how high the risk of pregnancy is or how ineffective a certain form of contraception, like withdrawal, is. How is someone supposed to be responsible for their actions if they don't understand the risk?
For example, a 10 year old who has an older boyfriend. She has never been taught about sex before, and the older boy takes advantage of that, telling her that having sex will demonstrate how much they love each other. She gets pregnant. How can you say this is her fault for having sex? How much did you know about sex at 10? Even at 16, some schools and parents only teach abstinence. If you've never been taught about sex and how to prevent pregnancy, how can you be expected to magically know how to not get pregnant?
You can't just say someone who is too young to have kids has to have one because someone else didn't teach them about sex. That just makes a bad situation worse.
