this is f***ed

Okay, this news bit is just f***ed up. Seriously. 17 girls at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts are pregnant. All are under 16. And they got that way on purpose. Because, you know, like, they made a pact. And that's like a promise, you know.

And like they can't get in trouble if they all do it, right? I mean, like, how could their parents get ticked off, when it's not just one kid, but like, a whole group of kids.

Wonderful. Just wonderful. And the school nurses just resigned. Because they couldn't get permission to dispense birth control to anonymous students. You know, you would think they not only would have been given permission, they would have been applauded. Because clearly these kids not only need access to birth control, they need COMPULSORY birth control...

I seems like the media has made more out of this "pact" than it actually is. (See http://www.gloucestertimes.com/punews/local_story_172215712.html)

Teen pregnancy is again on the rise in some places. The truth sounds like there were several of the girls involve at Glocester H.S. agreed to keep and raise their babies together after they found out they were pregnant.

If we want to blame anyone, I think the media is a good place to start for hyping Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy (not to mention Miley Cyrus's sexuality).
