A question about the pill?


I was born in 83, so it wasn't until the mid-90's or so before I saw this film. I noticed when Randy and Angel are about to have sex for the 1st time and she hands him a condom. He seems to get really angry or irritated that Angel was not on the pill. My question is, was it a common thing back in the early 80's for young teen girls to be on birth control pills?

I know my mom wouldn't let me get on the pill until I was 17 years old (year 2000) and thank GOD I never got pregnant way before that! Lol

It was pretty common. My best friend's older sister (who is now 46) was on the birth control pill as a teen. So was my other friend's wife who is 49. AIDS didn't exist yet so condom usage wasn't as popular.
