Pregnancy Pact: A New Trend for Teenaged Girls?

17 High School Girls in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Allegedly Made a Pack to Get Pregnant Together.

At least 17 girls at the Gloucester High School have reputedly made a "pregnancy pack."  They happened to be very determined to get pregnant because one was willing to have sex with a homeless man.  They often visited the nurse's office for pregnancy tests.  They were very happy to learn that they were pregnant.  All of them are at least 16-years-old or younger.

This is very disturbing.  Did the girls know what they were getting themselves and the ones they had sex with into?  Of course, they would get support from their high school and parents, but being a parent is a very serious responsibility.  It shouldn't be taken lightly.  It doesn't look like they did their homework about being a parent is really like.

Why didn't their parents and teachers suspect that something was going on?  Is everyone in Gloucester too busy with other things than teaching their teenagers how to make the right decision on something very life altering?  Sure, baby showers are fun parties, but afterwards things are serious.  Did those girls suspect that their parents would be upset if they were reckless enough to get pregnant?

Pray for the unborn babies.  It appears that they are the ones who are going to suffer the most from irresponsible mothers and absent fathers.
