If Girl teens mature faster than guys then Y....?!?

I would agree tht most girls grow up faster mentally and maturity levels r higher than guys 14-18, BUT

If this was true tht girls r more mature, how come these days there r so many teen girls tht get themselves in situations, sexual activities;making out, 2nd base, 3rd base, tht end up in having sex and getting pregnant.

Yes, hormones and getting caught up in the moment r factors, but mature, wise girls should know better right?

    They achieve 'Level 1 of adulthood' more quickly than male teenagers, true! :p Doesn't make them immune to mistakes and poor judgement, young adults (and old adults) make them all the time...

    there's nothing wrong with making out and having sex it's a part of growing up, only uneducated ignorant people like you can't realise that. The pregnancy thing however results from inexperience as most pregnancies occur within 6 months of their 'first time', I'd say that schools really should enforce just how easy it is to get pregnant.

    Maturity, and Wisdom are NOT connected, wisdom is a process of learning, not a process of maturing.

    As for sex, you also need boys(normally) so that would tie the genders.
