When I was about 12 years old, I was reading a magazine that talked about birth control. They mentioned the pill and said you had to take it each time or you would get pregnant. Obviously, it meant each time during sex, but I thought it meant you had to take it every day for the rest of your life or you would get pregnant at any time.
