•  fear, embarrassment, conflicting priorities, and
  subconscious motivation

• Embarrassment about discussing anything related
  to sexuality or having a medical examination can

  lack of maturity, an inability to focus
  objectively or to plan, to assume responsibility,
  to accept one's own behavior

  include the "nice girls don't" ideology "it
  won't happen to me" "excitement is taking
  risks" loneliness and crises and pressures.

  actually happens, it may be desired in part.

  options is group sessions
•  peer pressure as a factor in encouraging both
  girls and boys to have sex.

  weight gain and acne, often affect choice.

  having to hide pills, drug interactions and
  difficulty getting repeat prescriptions can all
  lead to method failure.30
