Mass. teen girls made pregnancy pact

I got this story from USA Today. It is all over the news. This really freaks me out. I have a 3 year old daughter. WTH! I think when she is about 10 i am going to find someone with a colic baby and let her deal with that for a day. She will not want kids at that age. i am not sure what to do and what is right to do for a parent on that one. It is all so frustrating to see what i am facing...






Reports: Mass. teen girls made pregnancy pact
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A pact made by a group of teens to get pregnant and raise their babies together is at least partly behind a sudden spike in pregnancies at Gloucester High School, school officials said.

Principal Joseph Sullivan told Time magazine in a story published Wednesday that the girls confessed to making the pact after the school began investigating a rise in pregnancies that has left 17 girls at the school carrying a child. Normally, there are about four pregnancies a year at the school.

Sullivan told Time that nearly half of the expecting students, none over 16, were involved. Sullivan said students were coming to the school clinic multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and "seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were."

Some of the girls reacted to the news they were pregnant with high fives and plans for baby showers, Sullivan said. One of the fathers "is a 24-year-old homeless guy," Sullivan told the magazine.
