You may be taught how to use a condom, but as effective as they are, they aren't 100% and there's a lot of people who are stupid enough, especially teens, who don't use them. Plus, if the worse should happen, a 14 year old getting accidentally knocked up is much worse than an 18-19 year old who's already graduated from high school, has a degree and is able to actually support a child. And I'm actually wondering if Yuki and Tooru used protection or if she just got lucky.
But Waven is right-- it's just a different world view and how we were raised, combined with people's own circumstances. As I've said, I've seen enough teen pregnancy to be wary.

Yeah it strikes hoome with me as in my class in 11th grade one girl got knocked up. She really had a tough time and it took her a while to get on two feet again as she didnt finish school.
There is a difference in preganncy in 14-16 year old than 18-19, it still can mess a bit, but at school the demage is certainly much, much higher than after you finish it and get degree.
