Two years ago Journalist KATHLEEN KINGSBURY posted an article about “Pregnancy Boom at Gloucester High (school)” in Time magazine. 17 girls got pregnant and according to school officials it wasn't an accident. These girls according to the article and some internet resources come from middle class families. Here's the article:
Before I ask my questions regarding to this, I want you guys to think about what could have happen? Was is just ignorance? Were they trying to make some kind of statement? And if yes, what could it be?
I remember being in high school, thinking about going to Mizzou and working hard to get the job of my dream! But when I heard about this, it made me wonder why would anyone want to get pregnant on purpose when they are still babies? We hear about teen pregnancy and often hear about how they were not using contraceptives etc etc. But getting pregnant on purpose and above all making a pact to raise babies together is something to think about.
