I remeber when I was a teenager, i cared about : sports, cars, and video games and studying for SAT’s and colleges. But now for the first time in 15 years there is an increase in teen pregnancy. Teen Pregnancy is actually going in an different direction, with teens WANTING to get pregnanct rather then it being an accident. Gloucester High school is experiencing this, you have to wonder what their thought process is from this information:
“some girls seemed more upset when they weren’t pregnant than when they were,” Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head.
This must be a new trend, trying to get pregnant just beause you want the attention and loving from a baby.
“They’re so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally,” Ireland says. “I try to explain it’s hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m.”
Course they fail to realize, it all comes with a price and a maturity level with these teens seem to lack. Hopefully they wake up to reality and they trend does not continue.
