When I think of high school, things such as tests, homecomings, and football games come to mind… not 17 pregnant girls parading down the halls. Yes, I said 17! The city of Gloucester Massachusetts is investigating an apparent “pregnancy pact” made by 17 high school girls all under the age of 16.
The girls all planned to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Now, I’m only a few years out of high school but I don’t remember ever telling my friends: “hey ya’ll lets get pregnant and raise all our babies together ok?! It’ll be fun!”
But wait! It gets crazier! At least one of the babies was fathered by a 24 year old homeless man. Sure, there are hundreds of teenage boys in a high school perfectly capable of doing the deed, but no, this girl had to go find a homeless man to be her babydaddy.
One can’t help but think where are these girls getting the idea that teen pregnancy is cool? Do last years hit movie Juno, and new mom Jamie Lynn Spears have a bigger effect on teens than we thought?

Homeless guy thought it was Christmas.

I bet the homeless guy was nothing more than a jobless guy who slept in his parents house and didn’t want the responsibility. There are reality tv stars who exercise more restraint than these girls. Baby Borrowers shows teens who look after kids for a few days to see what its like. thats more responsible and realistic than these ‘entrepreneurial’ ladies. someone better start a foundation for those kids

Getting Pregnant at the age of 16 is the dummest idea ever. I got pregnant at the age of 32 and i am so glad i waited because rasing a child is not easy at my age imagine 16. No parties, late night at the movies. etc..
Dumb move girls!!!!
