This is the most f-ed up story I’ve heard in a looong time. As school let out for the summer there were 17 girls at Gloucester High School pregnant. That’s more than four times the number of pregnancies the school had last year. While some folks in the small Catholic town blame hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up and the acceptance of Jamie Lynn Spears teen pregnancy, when the school board starting digging the strange truth came out.

All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head.

Read the rest of the sad article here to find out why these young girls think having a baby is the only way they will ever find unconditional love in their dying little town.  Damn that Jamie Lynn!
