Think 17 girls, 17 boys, and 17 new lives. At Gloucester High school in Massachusetts 17 young ladies were expecting to be new mother, these ladies were no more than 16 years old. The principal of this high school said "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were." It all started from one girl, she was innocent. Her and her boyfriend had no intentions of doing anything of the sort to get her pregnant. Until, the day she met this new group of "friends," about two of them were already pregnant so she thought it would be cool to be pregnant too. The girls confessed that they all wanted to get pregnant at the same time so they could have the babies around the same time and raise them together.
What I think about this?
Getting pregnant at 16? Are you that anxious to have a baby already? Girls that think they want to have a baby should really talk to their parents about it. They had you and they would tell you the truth about what it’s like being a parent. You hardly get any sleep because the baby is up most of the time wanting changed or feed. Many babies have to have something to put them to sleep like riding around in the car or being pushed in the swing that they have. I honestly think the pregnancy rate in America is ridiculously. That is just my opinion, what do you think about this?
