When you have nothing in your life and none of your achievements will outlast you, the prospect of having children is more interesting.

There's also the whole "not being aware contraception exists because you couldn't go to school" thing.

"not being aware contraception exists even if you went to school" haha
"going to school but not paying attention because you work two jobs and take care of your siblings"
"going to school and paying attention but being taught that abstinence is the only effective form of birth control and that condoms fail regularly so why bother" All so parents don't have to deal with the horror-movie scenario of their adolescent kids having a responsible, happy sex life.
"contraception is expensive and pulling out will work"
