17 girls in one high school pregnant....

excerpt:

some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were...[the girls] 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

HOLEYYYYYY crap! Thats INSANE!!!

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

Well I just hope they appreciate and love their children! Children are SUCH a blessing and I just hope they can realize that....

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

ok, I have to say it, it doesnt shock me (ducks away from the fire)

When we were born, some of our parents were young parents, single parents-but at the time 20-25 was considered young. it seems like every generation learns more mature things sooner then the generation before. I feel sorry for them, they just lost the rest of their lives. But I cant really feel bad for them-you always have to deal with your actions even if they arent old enough to quite understand what that means when having a baby.

Crazy!!

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

you know what i hate? that some parents are actually blaming 'knocked up' and 'juno' for 'glamorizing' pregnancy.

i got news for you parents, your kids were horny bastards who were having sex and you weren't paying attention or around to know it was happening. these girls were LOOKING to CREATE A LIFE to have someone to LOVE THEM no matter what. god forbid the parents look WITHIN the family to realize that something has gone horribly wrong. its always gotta be 'another reason'

these girls are so desperate for someone to look at them with no judgement and just love them....they are getting knocked up for it

I was just talking to DH about this. Its ridiculous people blaming these movies Some people are so quick to blame anything but themselves. Their children are old enough to distinguish the difference between a movie and reality. Its their job to teach them.

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

That story is insane!!!!! I was thinking about something totally different when I was 16-17. I was thinking about college career stuff like that.

What is this world coming too!!!!

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

um, illllllll

Re: 17 girls in one high school pregnant....

ughhhh.
I don't think that high school is so rare though... I'm pretty sure the school I teach at has more pregnant girls than that, I couldn't even estimate how many but I see them in the hallways all day long.
