"Omg?? I got pregnant?"

Heard about this pregnancy pact?? If not, here is my first sample of why I have no faith in the human race any longer, and think pro-creation needs a license granted by those with an IQ over 110.

In any case, one of the girls is now reporting she did it because "her school had a poor sex-ed program".

First of all, the report goes into how movies like Juno and Knocked Up were blamed. I personally would like to know who blamed them and give them one of those "V8 smacks" to the head for making me take the time to write this. Movies don't cause action...EVER. Influence? Maybe. But to say that movie directly caused someone to do something is one of the most irresponsible statements someone could make. CHOICE is what caused these girls to do this, nothing more.

But let's dive further into the realm of unbelievable stupidity that this sordid story entails. How the hell can you blame a school for sex-ed teaching practices? For Christ's sake, who in there right mind could defend against a girl willingly going out and getting themselves pregnant by a 24 year old bum? That's like me shooting myself in the shoulder and blaming the school for not teaching me about guns. What the F*** did you EXPECT to happen girl? Magical rainbows and sunshine?

The absolute best part this whole article is the "suspected reason" for them doing it.

"But Amanda Ireland, who graduated from Gloucester High on June 8, thinks she knows why these girls wanted to get pregnant. Ireland, 18, gave birth her freshman year and says some of her now pregnant schoolmates regularly approached her in the hall, remarking how lucky she was to have 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."

Okay first of all, Ms. Ireland I salute you. In this article, you didn't blame the school, the father, society, the government, a freak unscheduled solar-flare, or anything else for your pregnancy. THANK YOU! You are a shining example of how to take responsibility for your actions. Moving on though; if these girls saw a young teen mother and were envious that's FINE. It's EXPECTED to see someone happy and to want that for yourself. However, if one acts blindly upon that, then quite frankly it's stupid. Almost "sticking-a-pencil-up-your-nose-to-tickle-your-brain" stupid and at the age of 16 if you can't make that decision for yourself, your parents need to have a 6:00 PM curfew on you.

Overall though, my message to the one person that will ever read this blog can be summarized in a response to the last paragraph of the article:

"Gloucester's elected school committee plans to vote later this summer on whether to provide contraceptives. But that won't do much to solve the issue of teens wanting to get pregnant. Says rising junior Kacia Lowe, who is a classmate of the pactmakers': "No one's offered them a better option." And better options may be a tall order in a city so uncertain of its future"

Here is the better option. When the channel 8 News or CNN comes, and you are interviewed Mr. or Mrs. Principle, say the following:

"These girls were obviously stupid, and perhaps having these children will instill a purpose or at least some responsibility in them. For any other students who want to have kids without thinking about it, I hope you have some wealthy parents."

While this may seem horrific I guarantee after no support is offered for their AWESOME choice, a 16 year old girl may actually think twice before allowing a 24 year old bum to have his way with them.
