Idioter!
"17 teen girls from Gloucester, Massachusetts' high school are pregnant, according to Time magazine.
For reals.
AND, none of the sperminted teens are older than 16!!!!!!!
That's not the kicker.
Concerned school officials trying to figure out why sooooo many girls became preggers discovered that nearly half the expecting students confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together.
WTF????
WHY?????????
Dumb! DUmb! Dumb!
Time goes on to say that the girls who made the pregnancy pact reacted to the news that they were expecting with high fives and plans for baby showers.
Wait.
There's more craziness.
The principal of the high school reports, "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy."
Why would the teens go out of their way to get pregnant?
The preggers 17 declined to be interviewed, but a recent graduate of Gloucester High, who gave birth to a babe her freshman year tells the mag, "They're so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally. I try to explain it's hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m."
And, it's asserted that the high school has done perhaps too good a job of embracing young mothers.
Sex-ed classes end freshman year at Gloucester, where teen parents are encouraged to take their children to a free on-site day-care center.
The Gloucester school committee reportedly plans to vote later this summer on whether to provide contraceptives. The town is called very Catholic, so who knows how that vote will go down.
But some say that won't do much to solve the issue of teens wanting to get pregnant.
A classmate of the girls in the pregnancy pact said, "No one's offered them a better option."
So sad that the teens there feel so hopeless.
What do you think needs to be done?
Someone needs to do an anti-Juno flick...fast!
Teen pregnancy is not a good 'trend'.
It's not to be taken lightly!
P.S. Note to all the boys: She may tell you she's on the pill, but use a condom AND pull out as well!"
