17 girls at Gloucester (where I have spent my summers since infancy) High School are pregnant. According to news sources, the majority of the girls were part of a "pregnancy pact," which, aside from the initial reaction of "ohmygod thats terrible," provokes another reaction of "ohmygod that terrible," terrible that these little girls (because thats what they are, really) feel that the only way they can get any affection and sense of self-worth is from having these babies. :( There is an article set to run in the upcoming edition of TIME magazine...check it out fo' yo'selves.
