Oh my freakin gosh..Did you all hear about this?..18 high school girls none older than 16 all made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together..all of the fathers are adults and 2 of the girls got pregnant by a 24yr old HOMELESS man..WTF is wrong with people?!?!?!

...and who is going to take care of all these babies?

Kids having kids, NOt good at all!!!

Just terrible.

I saw a headline about it but never got a chance to read the story. How awful! And just where are these girls' parents? Not that you can blame the parents, but still. What were they thinking? They're certainly old enough to know better

ill take care of them

geeze

Unbelievable!!

OMG!!!!!

thats insane!!!!!

Wow... Sometimes I can't believe how selfish and thoughtless our culture can be. Sad!!

Um..Welfare of course..or maybe the grandparents will help..I don't know but I do know that if any of them were MY kids I'd be arrested for child abuse cuz I'd be whippin butt

And just wait until they have to take care of them and change diapers and buy clothes and food.....then who will take care of them?? Those girls will probably resent having the children when they are in their early 20's and can't go hang out at clubs because of having to be home for the babies.......really gets me mad, how stupid teenagers can be.

I agree, Eileen. Though, I'm not sure it's stupidity so much as just not thinking about the long-term consequences of their actions. Sure, babies are cute, and cuddly and all. When they're someone else's. But having the care, responsibility, financial stress and everything else that makes sure they're cute and cuddly, that's a whole other issue. That's what these kids don't understand and sadly, by the time they do, it's too late.

just to balance it out,i'm gonna start an anti-pregnancy pact.

I swear that i will never get pregnant no matter what.
Whose with me

On the bright side of the situation..the 24yr old is no longer homeless..he's got himself a nice little cot in jail for rape..lol

Who else? Us tax payers, that's who! It's heresy!

here is the article:




— 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.

Superintendent Christopher Farmer confirmed the deal to WBZ-TV, saying the girls had "an agreement to get pregnant."

He said the girls are generally "girls who lack self-esteem and have a lack of love in their life."

The first reports of the students' apparent plan to get pregnant were in the Gloucester Daily Times in March, when Sullivan said students were reporting that the girls were getting pregnant on purpose.

The rash of pregnancies has shaken the seaside city about 30 miles north of Boston. Last month, two officials at the high school health center resigned to protest the resistance from the local hospital to the confidential distribution of contraceptives. The hospital administers the state money that funds the clinic.

Babies have baby's cause they crave someone of their own to love them. Will someone please wake these parents up and tell them their children need them?????

Not to offend people with pregnant teens...sometimes boyfriends happen.

When it's planned like THIS, there is a cry for love behind it no doubt in my mind!

I think they should make a law to force abortions for these girls, If they are going to be so freakin stupid and selfish, they deserve it!
