Most sexually active teen girls probably live in fear of the day they miss their period, but a group of high schoolers in Massachusetts all decided to get pregnant and raise their babies together—17 of them succeed, and one was even knocked up by a 24-year-old homeless man, according to Gloucester High School’s principal, Joseph Sullivan. Normally there are about four pregnancies at this school of 1,200, which is located in a largely Catholic community. When girls came multiple times to the school clinic for pregnancy tests and seemed more upset if they weren’t pregnant than if they were, the school started asking questions. A girl in the class above the pregnancy pactmakers said she thinks they wanted to have babies because of the unconditional love they believed would come with having a child. “I try to explain it’s hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m.,” she said. We smell a Lifetime movie coming out of this. [Time]

It is really sad. It’s also a real shame when you think about how many people struggle with fertility problems, while others are popping out babies for “unconditional love.” These girls are kids, though, so you have to give them some empathy even as stupid as their actions are.

well there goes the rest of their lives… i wonder if they took time to think about anything other than “unconditional love” like for example college.

Further proof that children have become a fashionable materialized obsession in this country. Pop one out quick or you cant be cool like everyone else with a baby! People should be forced to get a permit to have children. And I sincerely hope these girls are cut off by their families and forced to take full responsibility for themselves...that or taken out behind the shed and shot for failing life so hard. TMFP!!!! TOO MANY #### PEOPLE!!!
