Any abortion rates are very high (actually the highest in the world) in Eastern Europe and especially Russia. Under Communism it was pretty much the only form of birth control. Modern issues are linked to sexual education/ behaviour i guess. Not like this is only Eastern European issue. Girls at that age are very vulnerable like you said and should wait, but i think you might be exaggerating Eastern European teenage behaviour, hopefully so.
I agree that teenage dating is very overrated. On the other hand meeting people and falling in love is natural and essential part of human life. This should be done in a rational way tho. There are young men who are more traditional and "safe" (usually Christians and Orthodox Jews), but most look for sex indeed. If she happens to fall in love with a young dude who is the same age as her and is serious about her then it's all clear.
