Teenage Boys May Not Plan on Pregnancy, But Believe it Might Happen Anyway
Lifespan ^ | September 6, 2005 | Cynthia Rosengard, PhD

Posted on 09/08/2005 6:01:13 PM PDT by Cautor

Most teenage boys who don’t plan to cause pregnancy still believe it is likely they will get someone pregnant within six months...Teenage boys feel, for a variety of reasons, that they’re not always going to protect themselves against pregnancy,” Rosengard says. “Some are worried their partner might not trust them if they use condoms..."

"Condoms break, at least in my experience."

There you boys go again, bragging.

"Teenage boys don't plan much of anything."

Well, I always planned on my next meal and stuff like that.

My brother washed dishes at the Chinese restaurant in exchange for unlimited free Pork Fried Rice.

Boys don't get pregnant??? Duh. But that certainly doesn't mean that they're not responsible if their partner does get pregnant. Think for a second...

Pay no attention to those warning labels, it's cigarette's and big tobacco's fault if you get lung cancer from smoking.

It's the bar's and big alcohol's fault if anything happens to you or is done by you when you're drunk.

It's most definitely the gun manufacturer's fault if someone uses one of the guns that the evil gun manufacturers produced to harm or kill someone or themselves.

If you don't see the need to actually learn to speak English and/or learn a marketable skill or even, perhaps, graduate from high school, that does not mean that you have any responsibility for your situation. It's so obvious...it was bad teachers and racism that is keeping you down.

And it's most definitely NOT your fault or your mayor's fault or your governor's fault if you voted for Democrat politicians for years and years and, after dodging several hurricanes, your city is flooded by a cat 4 hurricane that kills bunches of people. Bush was clearly to blame.

So, obviously, no matter what you do or what happens to you, it always is someone else's fault...especially if you got pregnant. Unless, of course, you voted for a Republican. Then you have only yourself (and Bush) to blame.

Heck, you can always blame it on Bush or Rove.

I suppose you could do that making pork friend rice...but it's probably easier to set fire to the place making chicken flambeau.

Once I've determined that no Twinkies were involved, I can and do blame Bush and especially Rove! Never trust anyone named Carl or Karl or, for that matter, anyone whose name starts with the letter "K".

Yep, they choose not to use birth control (Condoms) cause it takes away the feeling and they care more about the enjoyment of sex than it's consequences.

However once they get a gal pg they accuse of her doing it on purpose or that they got tricked into getting the gal pg.

This is pretty sterotypical, but for some reason some actually believe these boys/young men when they claim they are the victims. Sad.
