In Gloucester, Massachusetts, a group of girls, none older than 16, are said to have became pregnant after making a pact to do so and raise their children together. The girls were impregnated by fellow students, as well as older men - including a 24 year old homeless guy.
Some blame hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing young unwed mothers. Others say teen role models such as Jamie Spears have made teen parenthood more acceptable and even fashionable.
Others blame the influence of Catholicism in the town, or lack of/ too much discussion about contraception.
What do you guys make of this? Its easier to dismiss one girl as an idiot for wanting to get pregnant...but a group of girls making a pact? WTF? Whats wrong with buying a kitten?
