Thank you Hollywood....
“are investigating how 17 teenage girls from the same school have become pregnant”
I’m thinking “Science Project”
We’ve had pregnant teens dotting the landscape for years. My mother was one of them way back in 64.
Being a teenager is a mental illness.
Jamie Lynn announced she was pregnant in January. When was the Gloucester "pact" created?
This is the pinnacle of feminist achievement!

“Being a teenager is a mental illness.”
LOL! I thought that many times while raising my own two. I’ve also thought...”Oy, are they really mine????” or “Eegads! What planet did you come from?” :0)
Is statutory rape (i.e. sexual intercourse involving an adult male and a chronologically pre-adult female) a crime in Taxachussetts?
Glenn Beck's show last night, had the woman who runs the day care, provided by the school and our tax dollars, and she was asked if the school even believes in any kind of shame. She said no, we do not believe in shame. VERY telling.
Then the guys from planned parenthood in MA, said the school was prohibited from giving the kids birth control without their parents permission, and that was why these girls got pregnant. Now someone tell me how birth control, which these girls would not have used because they WANTED to get pregnant, would have helped???
The problem is squarely on society and even more so the public school system that enables this behavior in kids, even encourages it. Sexualizing children is criminal, but it is done every day by govt entities and the media, and it's all ok.
High school pregnancy is usually a black thing whether there’s a pact or not.
Why would they be having kids in gloster anyway? This whole state is a hellhole, property is overvalued there aren’t any good jobs and taxes are insane. Who’d want to raise a kid in MA?
It would be nice if the sperm donors did some time in prison on the receiving end. This would probably be a valuable lesson on saving yourself until marriage for the perps.
It’s called “Teenage girls want attention”.
When I was in the 9th grade, in 1986, 9 girls had babies. Yes, 9. Each one saw the other getting treated like an instant adult and also the ooohhhsss and aaahhhsss of babies babies babies. And the ‘instant’ latching onto the boy of their dreams didn’t help matters either.
Yes, some of these fathers were also over 18, don’t know if they were prosecuted as it would have interferred with the raising/child support of these new babies.
One of my friends was the first, although she didn’t intend to start the trend. She actually hid her pregnancy and we all talked about her gaining weight out of curiousity. I saw her stretch standing up one day and there was no denying the roundness of her belly and the gig was up. By that point I wasn’t the only one who noticed and her mother found out. She was six months along by then. I am 35 and it seems odd to me that her son is old enough to drink. She was 14 when he was born, husband was 16. Oddly enough, they are still married.
My 9th grade English teacher gave us all a lesson on the wonders of aspirin as birth control. You take an aspirin and place it between your knees, then don’t let it hit the floor. Works 100% of the time. ;O)
I find myself thinking with my 12 year old “What are you ON?”
Uhh, I think you are speaking rationally and logically about TEENAGERS!?!?!
