Evidently movies like Juno are ruining our youth, because the new trend is getting preggers at a young age. Case in point: A group of 17 girls at a Massachusetts high school are with child, and they are wayyyy too enthused about it.
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.
Naturally, parents are complaining about the new pregnancy trend — including films like Knocked Up and Jamie Lynn Spears' glamorous OK! exclusive in which she revealed she was expecting — but it's never that easy.
A classmate who gave birth her freshman year said many of the girls would approach her and talk about how lucky she was to have a baby: "They're so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally. I try to explain it's hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m."

"‘We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,’ the principal says, shaking his head."
hahahaha. Classic. I love stupid people.
I wonder if they'll be saying that when an 8 pound human is trying to expolde out of their womb. Prepare to never sleep again young ladies. It will be so much fun for them when all their friends are going to prom and partying and they can't go because there's no babysitters because they also have babies.
Holy sh** that's sad. "finally have someone to love them unconditionally???" What about their mamas? Never mind, their mamas are probably about 14 or 15 years older than they all are, like so many of the pregnant teens we get around my neck of the woods. And they all say the same fairy tale crap about unconditional love and expect the daddy to come riding in on a white horse and save the day. Doesn't take them long to get disillusioned with that BS. I remember being a dumb-ass teenager with delusions of optimism too, but thank God (and my parents, who would have KILLED me if I had gotten knocked up) I was taught better than this (and listened). I'm sorry, but when I was in high school in the 80's this shit was very rare, and now it's so commonplace. . .how do we get these CHILDREN to realize this is not a game, and babies aren't dolls to play dress up with??? Sorry for the rant, but this is just awful and I see it happening all the time where I live. I just don't know what the solution is; it's not lack of ed. about birth control, everyone knows where they can get it–it's this attitude that it's cool to have a kid when you ARE a kid that we have to fight now.
Oh Jeebus! This is like the trends when teenage girls thought hooking, stripping and porn star were glamourous career choices.
Yes, I think someone should create a virtual reality game that simulates pregnancy, birth, and providing for a newborn's needs. They should teach a 7th grade class using it, and make all the girls play. Yep. That would nip that in the bud for all those teenage mommabies. Well, except for future Michelle Duggars.
Unconditional love my ass. Do they even have any idea how much crap they ask for as they get older? Mom, can I have (insert toy or game of your choice here). And they get mad at you. Even cute little toddlers. They really hate it when you say no to them.
I have no idea how you would deal with that at 16. I was 25 and wasn't prepared. And how do you tell your child their father was just some homeless guy I didn't know?
Yea, first they love you unconditionally because that's evolution to SERVIVE. Then you earn it by being a decent parent. As long as their parents pay for them, oh, wait, medi-cal will pay for them, wait that's tax payer money, wait they wont be working, wait no father to support the child, wait- I guess that leaves working people to pay for uneducated parents who do not work. Cool!!!
>Yes, I think someone should create a virtual reality game that simulates pregnancy, birth, and providing for a newborn’s needs.
What about the ol'-bag-of-flour project? Even the most cash-strapped school districts can afford a couple dozen 5 lb. bags of flour. In our high school, there was some kind of health class where students were assigned 10 lb. plastic babies, and they cried (even during class) and needed feedings, just like their fleshy baby counterparts. Ahhh, those were the days– the heady Clinton Era when sex ed wasn't abstinence-only.
I don't believe in unconditional love.
Gosh, I hope they are religious or something so they wont do drugs. I mean obviously not to smart ( got pregnant) and will likely need religion, but, well, likely would not have gotten pregnent in the first place if religious, I mean anal sex, well, likely not-I guess. Humm, well atleast pro-life is happy babys are being born-not that they want to do anything to raise them. But whatever, the raising is not that important, the HAVING is. Get YOUR needs for love met, forget the baby. Lot's of people from poverty parents LOVE thier dead end jobs, poor health ins, or college loans to pay back for thirty years. I think Michelle Obama was just talking about this. Ah, poverty. Wait, are these rich kids?

a little too late for this it seems.
Prom night dumpster babies.
4rlz.
But, the bag of flour, and the baby dolls would not help them realise the morning sickness, the (all over) swelling, the hemorrhoids, the discomfort, the sleeplessness, the labour pains, (or c-section recovery), the getting up in the night, breast-feeding, engorgement, poop leaking out of the diapers all over the crib or the car seat and then not only having to deal with the baby, but a big smelly mess, possibly in a public place. I'm sure (most) teenage girls do not like to be pooped on.
That headline was hilarious….!!!
That's my only comment.
:-)
Now I haven't seem Knocked Up but how can they blame this 'trend' on that movie? Katherine Heigl, saint that she is, is clearly not playing a teen. If you want to blame anyone, blame the parents of these girls form not doing their jobs raising them. Oh but wait, this is America where no one takes personal responsibility for their kids screw ups. What was I thinking, clearly Hollywood is to blame.
I used to work retail and I once overheard a group of teen girls talking to a girl who looked 14 or 15 at the most and holding a newborn ans telling her, "you're so lucky, you got it made now." That floored me, I never forgot it.
Man, when your daughter is bangin' hobos to get knocked up so she can finally have someone love her, it's time to hang up your mother hat.
Sounds to me like "Bad Parenting" is the new "Cashmere."
Speaking of, jamie lynn's vagina just exploded. She had her baby girl today. Congratulations on being a silly whore!
Who's next? Hanna Montana?
It's Gloucester, Mass, they're talking about here. Blue collar, white, fishing town, north of Boston. Where they filmed "The Perfect Storm". Like this is. A similar disaster.
You know, I always thought getting knocked up by a homeless man was a PIPE DREAM, but now….
It is every young girls dream. Right next to being swept off your feet by prince charming. Then comes, doctor, fireman, and random homeless dude. I'm sure Disney's working on this fairy tale as we speak. It will star Miley Cirus and one of the Jonas Brothers.
I just told my children this: If you even think about having a baby, just know that you will have to get your own apartment.
And who do you will think will wash dishes then?
Who do you think will take out the trash then?
Who do you think will do the laundry?
That means YOU'LL be the mom/dad of the house. Yeah.That's what I thought.
My household has been pregnancy free since me.
"Girl from blue collar fishing town and homeless dude… the love story for a new generation!"
WE ARE DOOMED. The smart people are having 1 or 2 kids, and the absolute morons who couldn't survive without public funds are having 5, 5, 6 (usually from multiple fathers). It might be politically incorrect to point it out, but this is cultural suicide.
PARENTS! Protect your boys from the promiscuous airheads. Things have changed 180 degrees. One mistake and your son will be chained to some brainless whore whose body peaked at 15 and is an unrecognizable (yet still brainless) pig by 24.
Ummmmmmm, ok. All those young girls are just tying those poooor young men down and forcing them to have sex. I feel sorry for all those young men that are forced to do that and then run off leaving their child fatherless with no support. Lets pity them for not thinking of the repercussions from having unprotected sex. Yes, it's all the girls fault. Run and be free young men. Participate in the act and then run far away, think of yourselves.
And just because you have a few babies does not mean you turn into some blobby troll afterwards.
How f-ugly must that one girl be to have to have a homeless dude screw her.
To quote Ricki Lake "Where are the fathers in this situation?"
I think walkerny is one of K-Fed's parents.
I don't know Madison? I figure they had to move their house/box to the other side of the street so their baby's mama can't find them.
Someone should've told them that they might poop on the floor during delivery. That might've made them think twice.
Whatever happened to good ol' abortion? Girls who got knocked up in my high school got those little cells scraped out of them good 'n' fast; their parents made sure of that! If you're stupid and/or irresponsible enough to get pregnant at 15 then you're too stupid and irresponsible to be a parent.
