Title: Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High
At Gloucester High School, 17 girls where expecting babies. People blamed the movies like Juno and knocked up. The nurse Kim Daly had administered 150 pregnancy tests. None older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. It later got worse, they found out that one of the fathers was a 24-year-old homeless guy. The girls that got pregnant, reacted to news really well, giving each other high fives and having baby shower plans.
Reaction-
I felt like these girls crossed the line, getting pregnant on accident is one this, planning it is another. Having a pregnancy pact is really crazy, they think that having a baby is so easy, and cheap but there is so much to it, and especialy being a teenager. Sometimes i get really angry reading this because they never really thought about they babies and how tough it might be for them, they never even thought about what the father would think if she was planning to get pregnant.
Evidence-
*"They're so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally," Ireland says. "I try to explain it's hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m."
* "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Sullivan says
