time if they took them; some teens believe drugs will help them think
better, be more popular, stay more active, or become better athletes;
one try won't hurt; to gain attention from their parents;
they're depressed or think drugs will help them escape their problems;

Reasons that teens have unsafe sex are:peer pressure;the passion of the moment;the media, which often portrays sex as an act with no negative results;sex in film and television rarely ends up in the character dying a AIDS, or giving birth to an unwanted baby;the feeling it "won't happen to them“;some young men simply refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of unsafe sex;some young men may pressure their girlfriends to have sex, and the girls give in as they hope for love and affection, while the boys simply want a sexual experience;
having unsafe sex is not only an act of stupidity, it can quite easily be avoided - the ease of birth control devices;
