Good question! The problem is that before the pregnancy, the guy and girl may think or "feel" like they are in love and start "playing" like they are married by heating up the relationship and having sex. However, when the pregnancy or other negative consequences occur, reality kicks in and the guy (and sometimes the girl) starts to look at things more realistically..."I'm just a kid. I'm too young to be tied down" and "I like her but I don't love her". Both of those statements are exactly right and that's why people should not have sex until they have proven their love and commitment in marriage.

 

Think of it this way... If the kids did decide to stay together, would that make everything OK? They have no money, they're probably not even old enough to work full-time jobs, they have very little education, and since they chose to be sexually active, they probably are making other bad life choices. Sex does not equal love. In fact, no one who really loves you would ever put you in a situation that could damage you in the way that premarital sex does. Hope this helps.
