I was in absolute shock after reading this article. I’m talking jaw dropping speechlessness.

After seeing a strange increase in students requesting pregnancy tests at a local school’s health clinic, administrators started to dig a little to see what was going on. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a group of approximately 17 girls had entered into some kind of ‘pregnancy pact’ to have their babies together this year.

So many questions come to my mind I can’t even begin to spit them out. There were two parts of this article that really piqued my interest – you know, other than the sheer obvious ridiculousness of a pregnancy pact in the first place.

The article notes that a previous school doctor and nurse resigned in protest of the fact that the school refused to distribute contraception to students without parental consent. So, wait a second. How is administering pregnancy tests ok, but giving out the stuff that could prevent using the pregnancy test in the first place not ok? Moving right along…

The other part that really freaked me out is the fact that there is speculation that one of the girls was impregnated by a homeless man! Are you kidding me? Were these girls this desperate?

I guess things have changed since I was a teen. Back in the day, the idea was to avoid pregnancy.

The times…they are a changin’.
