Subject: Yahoo news story of 17 teens in small town who had pact to get preggos

Written By: saver on 06/20/08 at 1:27 am

I don't have flash to see the video or get the full story. If this is as it sounds, they will have to rename the local school: OUR LADY OF ST. JUNO!

If this is a real small community, maybe we could dub them BUTTHEAD U.S.A.!

Love to hear how they planned to afford them all..but the banjo playing would drown out their answers...


Is there a teacher in that town for planned parenthood?

That's like saying just 'cuz a guy's from West Virginia he knows something about marrying his sister!

Yeah, Massachusetts where all the teens are knocked up!  Look, it's frikkin' Glaucester full of pill-addled fishermen and preppie tourists.  Life is pretty grim out there.  Having a baby of your own means something and that's the sad truth about why so many youth get in the family way.
:D

She probably has really strong parent issues and wants to really freak them out.  ;D

At 24, he was probably still living in his mom's basement playing video games all day (and night) when she kicked him out for not having a job.  ;)

So the dude gets married, and moves himself, his spouse, and his four kids back into his mom's basement where he plays video games all day!

Gloucester is one of those towns the is filled with the richest and the poorest, and never the twain shall meet. On one side you have old money, mansions, and private schools, on the other you have run down downtown, collapsing infrastructure, and a make ends meet struggle.A few months ago it was in the news because there was a proposal to offer birth control to students through the school nurse.  It was shot down, a bit too hastily it seems. It has been brought to the attention of those concerned that whenever an underage girl becomes pregnant, and the father is stated to be an adult, the doctor, and/or clinic is supposed to report it.  There is a call to see if these pregnancies were reported. Whatever happened to statutory rape?  It happens everyday, but 24 year old guys getting 13-14-15 year olds pregnant is ignored.  Statutory is just that, it doesn't matter if the girl was willing or not, that is why it is statutory.

The mayor is now saying the pact thing appears to be a hoax... but you know that won't make the rounds nearly as fast as the juicy story did.

Gloucester isn't even above normal for teen pregnancy rates in the US... talk about a story blown out of proportion.

But let the record show that we who fell for it (myself included) are officially humbled. 

We have been trolled; we have lost.  Disregard, we suck..., In Soviet Union the Fail is strong with US!, for the lulz, etc...

So the pact is a hoax, but are pregnancies still real?

basically... and while the rate is high for the school when compared to past years, it's still not above normal when compared with the national rate.

Now we know you don't have to be 'influenced' to do stupid things..these people did it themselves!

Stupid is as stupid does...saw girl interviewed and she looks forward to it..maybe was an accident..okay..PAGING THE TEACHERS?????

Aside from how to have babies, do you think they could relate if they were made to figure out the 'price' to raise a kid then asking them..where will the money come from.that should make them think!
