Future Dumpster Babies?

A pact made by a group of teens to get pregnant and raise their babies together is at least partly behind a sudden spike in pregnancies at Gloucester High School, school officials said.

In a story published by Time magazine, the school's principal said that the girls confessed to making the pact after the school began investigating a rise in pregnancies that has left 17 girls at the school carrying a child. Normally, there are about four pregnancies a year at the school. Beginning last October, girls began to visit the school clinic for pregnancy tests, but it became more suspicious when several returned multiple times. The tipping point came when school officials noticed "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were."

All of the 17 girls are under 16 years of age, and one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless man. Kudos to that happy new family!

Of course, the news comes just after Britney Spears' 17 year old sister, Jamie Lynn, gave birth to another hellspawn for that winning family pool of retarded DNA. Now, I'm not one of those people who thinks that what people see in the media effects their choices in real life, but nothing good can be made of a prominent young female star who has a bastard child underage and out of wedlock. The humane thing would have been to just put her down, y'know, for society's sake. And I don't think they're watching Juno and thinking it's okay - in fact, I'd be surprised if they watched it and were even amused, let alone guided by it. The good news is she'll snap right back and be ready to lure another man into that honey, unlike that chunky mess her older sister became!
