Some think that methods like "pushing out" and other pregnancy prevention rumors will prevent them from having unwanted pregnancies. Many teenagers have the belief that “it will never happen to me”. Unfortunately, pregnancies catch teens off guard and they don't understand what's happening to them when pregnancy symptoms arise. It doesn't help that the media glorifies sex and irresponsibility. This factor alone contributes to the increase in adolescents participating in promiscuous behavior. It's seen as the nice and acceptable thing to do. Many teenagers become parents because they come from families where love and understanding are lacking, especially with the emotional roller coaster that most experience during adolescence. When a teenager perceives a lack of love, he looks for people and things to feel that emptiness. During this transition period in adolescence they look for ways to feel the voids in their life by having sex, drugs, bad friends, rebellion and irresponsibility. This behavior, along with other poor decisions regarding health and one's body, can have negative consequences
