Why?
So that they don't become pregnant when they have sex, obviously. The same reason that an adult would be given birth control. Obviously, a teenager is MUCH less likely to be able to appropriately deal with an unplanned pregnancy, and therefore should have many Birth Control options available to them.
If teens were denied access to birth control, well, we'd have many more babies having babies. If you don't know for a fact, 100% that a teen would NOT have sex if birth control were not available to them, then birth control should be made available to them. They're going to have sex no matter what. Might as well make sure that they are as safe and well-informed as possible. Yes, abstinence IS ideal, but it's not likely that it will be practiced. For those kids that choose to not practice abstinence, well, birth control is a must. I hope your kid doesn't end up knocked up/knocking another kid up.
