A city in Massachusetts is investigating an apparent teenage "pregnancy pact" that has at least 17 girls at its public high school expecting babies, four times more than last year.Many of the girls are 16 years old or younger.The high school health clinic in the city of Gloucester became suspicious after seeing a surge in the number of girls seeking pregnancy tests. Local officers said that nearly half of those who became pregnant appeared to have entered into a pact to have babies together over the year.The first report was received after students were reporting that the girls were getting pregnant on purpose.It is noticed that they were not upset than before after being pregnant.This trend was hihlighted when singer Britney Spears' 17 years old sister gave birth to a baby girl.
Personal response: I feel that the girls are very foolish to go into the pact to have babies together. They are still young and do not have the financial ability to support a child . Having a baby would means extra financial burdens to their parents. The girls are too rash and do not seem to consider about the consequences that will result. Being pregnant for fun also means that the babies would likely be abandoned . I feel that the girls should think twice about being pregnant . They are matured enough to think . As a student , her first priority is to study .Even if they wanted to have fun , they should look for other alternatives. The girls should not treat a life lightly and cause harm an innocent baby.
