As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. Some adults dismissed the statistic as a blip. Others blamed hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing young unwed mothers. But principal Joseph Sullivan knows at least part of the reason there's been such a spike in teen pregnancies in this Massachusetts fishing town. School officials started looking into the matter as early as October after an unusual number of girls began filing into the school clinic to find out if they were pregnant. By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy," the principal says, shaking his head.

Honestly I don't see the point being pregnant its so stupid. Hopefully they learn a good lesson from this. Just goes to show how stupid people are.
I wouldn't say that.
Over here, the only person to be pregnant was a girl in my course who had her kid half a year before the exams, and she passed even though she wasn't an A student.
Proves you can make it as a young mother. (but her baby's father wasn't a homeless 24 year old so she had less to worry about )
meh, teen pregnancy isn't really an issue....kids have sex....sometimes they get pregnant....sometimes they become crazy baby loving fanatics....these things happen...i try not to question it.
and go homeless guy, i bet half the guys on this forum with homes couldn't manage to pull that off, look how far your sandbox gets you now...

Man, pregnancy is a scary deal. My girlfriend and I have had our run-ins and it's a huge risk. Sometimes when shes late it scares the shit out of her and I.
well when you live in a GhEtTo area as me at ball high school you see people having sex in the hallways with teachers standing there. so theres like 20 pregnant teens over here. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ball+high
Also, I find this story unsurprising. Theres a lot of idiots in this area. We got the rich people, and the less rich. These do seem to be "chavs" (see Urbandictionary)

If your not ready for the risk...don't have sex, hardly a difficult concept.

or use a condom and make sure she's on the pill...theres a ton of things you can do. You shouldn't have multiple run-ins with pregnancy scares, it should be a lesson learned type of thing....

I still dont know which is worse, a bunch of people at such a young age making a pact to be pregnant or people at such a young age treating sex like it means nothing at all in our modern day society.
What happened to the days where sex was an expression of a strong and deep physical connection, where people would wait years before doing it? Sex is treated like catching a ball or picking up a rock, no different from any other activity in life. People going to such lengths for simple pleasure, one night stands simply to "get off", having sex with a random homeless man in order to fill a silly pact.. disgraceful.
What goes on in the minds of these people i can not even begin to understand. Who knew morals would downturn so quickly.
