A pregnancy boom at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts is shocking many, and it's not necessarily because teens didn't have access to birth control.
According to officials at the school, seventeen girls made a pact together to get pregnant at the same time and raise their kids together.
School principal Joseph Sullivan told Time Magazine, who first broke the story, that he started noticing something suspicious when the pregnancy rate had rose more than four times the school's average. He also observed more girls visiting the school clinic to get pregnancy tests.
This just so infuriates me!
Seems to get pregnant is a wonderful thing with young girls. The movie "Juno" says it is ok. All the pregnant, unmarried "so called Stars"
Where are these girls parents? None of these girls are over 16.
Why are girls alowed to go to regular school when pregnant? Why aren't thy sent to an alternative school? Apparently up there the girls get to go to school and have day care! Provided by the Taxpayers of course.
The fathers are said to be in their 20's are they going to be made to pay for all the expenses? Hospital bills. chil support?
What are they thinking?
