I was french kissing this very cute boy and I was wondering if french kissing or any kind of kissing can get you pregnant? If a boy puts his finger into your vagina, will you get pregnant?

The right bits of anatomy⁠ are just not in the right location for that to occur. Similarly, there’s nothing about manual sex⁠ (‘fingering’) that could cause pregnancy unless your partner⁠ has fresh ejaculate (or possibly pre-ejaculate⁠) on their hands. In order for a viable pregnancy risk to occur, you would have to either have unprotected, direct genital contact between your genitals and his (or direct unprotected contact between your genitals and ejaculate or pre-ejaculate).
