Blame Jamie Lynn! And Juno!
Filed under: Baby Blabber > Wacky, Tacky & True
17 teen girls from Gloucester, Massachusetts' high school are pregnant, according to Time magazine.
For reals.
AND, none of the sperminted teens are older than 16!!!!!!!
That's not the kicker.
Concerned school officials trying to figure out why sooooo many girls became preggers discovered that nearly half the expecting students confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together.
WTF????
WHY?????????
Dumb! DUmb! Dumb!
Time goes on to say that the girls who made the pregnancy pact reacted to the news that they were expecting with high fives and plans for baby showers.
Wait.
There's more craziness.
The principal of the high school reports, "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy."
Why would the teens go out of their way to get pregnant?
The preggers 17 declined to be interviewed, but a recent graduate of Gloucester High, who gave birth to a babe her freshman year tells the mag, "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."
And, it's asserted that the high school has done perhaps too good a job of embracing young mothers.
Sex-ed classes end freshman year at Gloucester, where teen parents are encouraged to take their children to a free on-site day-care center.
The Gloucester school committee reportedly plans to vote later this summer on whether to provide contraceptives. The town is called very Catholic, so who knows how that vote will go down.
But some say that won't do much to solve the issue of teens wanting to get pregnant.
A classmate of the girls in the pregnancy pact said, "No one's offered them a better option."
So sad that the teens there feel so hopeless.
What do you think needs to be done?
Someone needs to do an anti-Juno flick…fast!
Teen pregnancy is not a good 'trend'.
It's not to be taken lightly!
P.S. Note to all the boys: She may tell you she's on the pill, but use a condom AND pull out as well!

ARE THEY STUPID!!!!!
They should all get tested for AIDS
Gloucester was once described to me as the place where carnies go in the off-season to live with their toothless mother who works at the fish factory… not surprised that these little girls are so trashy………
FIRST
FIRST!!! YESS
FIRST
Umm so yaaa who's going to pay for all these baby supplies? Is that part of their pact too? They're soooo retardeeddd!!!
insane.
thats the dumbest thing i've EVER read
That's so scary, I'm 16 and I would never ever imagine doing that! I can't even take care of myself.
OMG!!! Poor babies to have such young moms!
That reminds me of a news story I read about girls trying to get preggers at prom so they don't have to go thru more school and have a job. Parenting's the hardest fucking job out there. My generation is FUCKED.
A homeless guy! what the fuck, i agree perez, an anti juno movie should be made all we need is more dum ass teen moms walken around
I live in Gloucester - and they're all a bunch of whores!
Riiiight…blame the movie … no one needs be responsible for their own actions anymore…you're such a teenie weenie
that's so crazy
good lord~
There are more then 30 girls either currently pregnant or already with child that attend the high school in the town I live it. It's no new phenomenon.
gay
stop trying to be a newsman you jackass! i read this stuff on drudge way before you post it you jackass. i'm on here for celebrity shit, if i want stupid news, then I'll go to a news site.
do what made you famous asshole!
what the hell is wrong with kids today? babies shouldn't be having babies!!!
sooo stupid…
WOW!!!
CRAZY GIRLS JUST WANT MONEY FOR THE GOVERMENT
slut bag hoes
*sigh* I live in Gloucester. I'm so ashamed.
How stupid!!!
DANG
Did you even SEE Juno? How does that movie promote teen pregnancy or make it look fun or like the movies protagonist WANTED to be pregnant? The character in the film didn't get pregnant on purpose "for unconditional love" anymore than Jamie Lynn did….not to mention she gave her baby up for adoption to a loving woman who would care for her child the way a child deserves to be raised.
These girls are obviously effed in the head and there is no way you can blame a movie or an actress for their stupidity!
last! bastard child gonna be a crack whore/pill freak like her auntie
what the fuck is wrong with this younger generation??? they're so fucked up!!!
Dont they know that maternity prom dresses arent that cute?
Not to mention that concerts, dates and any sort of social life is OVER WITH?!
Re: Danie – duh
That is just retarded. I really wish kids these days would wait to experience some of the things they do. If you do it all when you are young, what do you have to look forward to when you are older?
don't pull out - leave it in!!
FIRSTTT HEHEHEHEHHEH
Oh great I have that dress from Target now I can never wear it again, I'll feel like preggo Jamie-Lynne eww.
why would you need to pull out if you were wearing a condom? Retard
AN ANTI JUNO FILM……..YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS STUPID!!!
Uhm…WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?! Parents need to be more involved with their kids and talk to them about this stuff.
perez get some decent material, stupid teen activities is of no interest to anyone. Teens have always been stupid, will always be stupid. Putting this shit on your blog makes you stupid
Are they crazy? Why would they all want to get pregnant and raise a child in such a poisonous environment. And to get pregnant witha homeless guy imagine what that kids gonna go through for the rest of its life! Sad!
Only 17, you should take a trip to my old high school. I like to play a game when I go visit, "See how many pregnant girls there are in one hallway". It's really sad that parents aren't taking a more active role in educating their kids about sex, you can't depend on the school to do it.
That is disgusting. They need to go on Maury and have the shit scared out of em hehe.
first!
What the hell????
Yeah I've heard of this stupid shiz going on before. I know babies are sweet and all, but you're fcking your life and their life up by getting preggers when you're still in HS. That sort of thing should be shameful, not exciting.
…kinda makes you wonder what the next major trend will be, huh?
people in the world laughs at USA for situations like this! HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN THE USA???
THESE GIRLS ARE SO STUPID! THEY MAKE ME MAD!
I agree with the need of an anti-Juno flick!
As if people watch some movie and say I WANT TO DO THAT.
Pleeease stop blaming Juno and blame their bloody parents for raising such idiots.
how sad use condom girls they were problably white trash
Plain dumb. A baby is neither a toy nor a crutch. If they're not too far along, maybe some of these fools can be persuaded to have abortions. If not, then adoption would be the next best option.
Guys: DO NOT PULL OUT! IT DOES NOT WORK. Repeat, PULLING OUT DOES NOT WORK. ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A CONDOM. Sperm can be present in the precum meaning she can still get pregnant if you pull out without a condom.
Use a condom AND spermicidal lube instead. And have sex with someone you trust. If you have to wonder if she's lying about being on the pill, obviously she's not the girl for you. Though truly, the majority of girls are not lying about being on birth control.
God Perez, how fucking original of you to blame a MOVIE for something stupid like that. Why don't you blame the girls for being dumbfucks? Juno was created to show girls that teen pregnancy is NOT fun, and is NOT something to be taken lightly. Obviously those girls never saw the movie, or otherwise they would've understood that adolescent girls are not mature physically or emotionally to have a child. And besides, even if the movie DID influence them into doing that, that just makes them even bigger morons for taking A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE so seriously.It was JUST A MOVIE, and anybody who thinks movies reflect real life or fucking idiots.
This "pull out" method you speak of isn't effective… asshole.
craziest shit i've read on perez!!!!
Ha! Terrible kids!
Wow. That's crazy, sad, pathetic, sick (a 24-year-old homeless man?) & eye-opening ALL in ONE! shit needs to be done immediately. teen pregnancy is NOT cool. period.
Oh my lord.
Sex-ed should include a section on the very real consequences of early child-rearing
Re: Aleks – haha, at least you admit it.
ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I HAVE EVE HEARD
don't blame Juno she placed the baby for adoption! go ahead and blame spears what an fool. I doubt any of these girls will have full time nannies.
Our mothers fought for birth control rights and this is what happens?????
fucking idiots!!! Whats wrong with these chicks? they have major issues if they things getting pregnant is something they should be doing at whatever age… not cool..
Can't blame the girls. It's obviously a sign of bad parents.
Egh! If you don't know that pulling out does NOT work then you deserve to get pregnant!
The difference between these teen girls and "Juno" is that the girl in "Juno" wasn't trying to get pregnant. Once she found out she was the search was on to find an adoptive family… she knew she couldn't raise a baby. These girls don't seem to understand that they can't raise a baby at such a young age and give it the proper upbringing it deserves. I also don't think "Juno" was glamorizing teen pregnancy. To compare girls who are intentionally getting pregnant for the novelty of it to a movie where a girl got pregnant on accident only to give the baby up for adoption to a loving mother doesn't quite seem fair.
Not so surprising Prezzers. When you take into consideration the education of American youth or lack thereof, the desire to live through other people ( celebrities), the lack of focus or goals, the lack of discipline, it's bound to happen. The irony is it's their PARENTS who will be raising these children, not them. The teenagers can't even raise themselves. All they are doing is making what they think of as a life that's lacking something worse. A classmate of the girls in the pregnancy pact said, "No one's offered them a better option." How dumb is that quote. NOT BEING PREGNANT IS A BETTER OPTION.
I remember not long ago when a girl's worst fear in high school was getting preggy… now its almost a badge of honor, guess I'm behind on the trend
wow, teens are dumb now a days
wtf this girls are too stupid…they all should be locked up!
Where are the parents? Particularly - where are the fathers? My hubby has a big hunting knife that he would personally use on the nether regions of any asshole dumb enough to have sex with my 14 year old and gladly go to prison for it. Do these girls have a brain? If they do they must take it out and play with it on a regular basis.
It's been going on forever you inbred pile of runny shit. No one to blame but the parents for not properly raising their children. Blaming stars and movies is as retarded as you.
Re: Lee –
Actually kids that young don't realize consequences. It is biology. The human brain doesn't fully devolp until the age of 25. Read up on it. It is pretty interesting.
This is ridiculous I mean their parents should be all over this , they are making bringing a human being into the world a game. Does a very catholic town also equal a very stupdi town .. ? Cause i can not believe for a second that this went down without any of the paretns knowing.
AND OMG who would be so disgusting as to sleep with a homeless person I mean how ugly of a teenager do you have to be so no teenage boy would be willing to sleep with you? That you have to go to a guy on the street;. I think this is deplorable and I feeel bad for the school board, but at the end of the day it should be up to their parents to teach and to solve the issue not the school. I would think that if I foudn out my daughter was involved in this mess.. I would have give her a stern Talking to . OOPS I emant BEAT DOWN.. they are sick of their little town and how awful it is.. well nothing says you aren't going ot get out of that town like getting knocked up at the ripe age of 15.. absolutely stupid if you ask me
WTF perez!! don't blame actresses or movies or pop culture. BLAME THE FU*CKING PARENTS!! its so sad, sick, pathetic & ridiculous to here sh*t like this is going on. but when i graduated in '07 there were 2 pregnant girls in my graduating class & about 10 pregnant girls throughout the school & several before i graduated had gotten pregnant. the younger generation is fucked. its stupid cunts like those girls who get obama or hilary thinking they can win the presidency!
Re: Ona – He didn't just say pull out;
he said wear a condom AND pull out as well
your dumb.
Such a shame! I thought teeneage pregnancy was down. Why would any teenager want to bring a baby into this world. They will not be financial, physical or mentally prepared to handle these little bundles of joy. Where are their parents? Who is really going to be taking care of these children? We are. It's unfair to the child. Having a baby is a huge responsiblity and a baby needs love and support. These kids are just starting their lives. I just hope no abuse takes place. Augh! Boys wrap your weenies and girls go on birthcontrol. Also, imagine all the diseases these kids may have now. A homeless man fathered one of the children? DISGUSTING!!!
what you mean pull out? pull out of what?
I had my first baby at 22 and it was so freakin hard. I think that these kids needs someone to seariously talk to them. I hope that their parents get to the bottom of their problems. I am so hoping that things work out for them and their families.
well i'm from MA and this is a big topic this week…
i still can not believe these girls will take away from thier education just because they don't want to lose a friend or two… seriously? i'm a single mom of a two year old and i'm pulling my hair out.. and no the father is not a homeless man… it's hard to believe people didn't get air of this before it went this far.
"Pulling out" does NOT prevent pregnancy (and especially not STDs). Maybe so many girls are pregnant because they all have this idiotic idea in their heads that pulling out is effective! I am in my late 20s and am shocked at how many people may age still don't understand this!
Re: BB – lol. ok. you mean "YOU'RE dumb." dumbass.
Blame Jamie Lynn and Juno???? Where the hell were these children's parents??? Stop blaming other people and make them take responsibility for their own actions!!!
I'm moving to Gloucester.
This is ridiculous. I blame abstinence-only education.
Re: Blake – as an extra precaution numnuts
This can only happen in a liberal state like Massachusetts. The liberal educators put sex education before the basics of reading, writing and arithmetics. They tell the students that if they happen to get pregnant, that the school will provide daycare for them. You'll never see something like this happen in Texas where parents and educators actually use common sense.
Re: Derek – only cause you probably can't get some in any other circumstance. loser.
OMG HOW RETARDED THE CONDOMS ARE NOT GONA HELP IF THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO GET PREGNANT. THE GIRLS ARE DUMB THEY JUST RUINED THEIR LIFES AND THE LIFES OF AN INOCENT CHILD
Re: Itali – SHITalian!
this is insane! why would a teenage girl WANT to get pregnant - one of my good friends from high school had a baby at 17, dropped out to get her GED - and ended up raising the baby by herself b/c she broke up with the daddy right after the kid was born..meanwhile, the rest of us went to college, got an education, had fun, didn't have to wake up at 6 a.m. with a screaming kid, got to party, meet new guys, make new friends…she looks back on it now and is like WTF was i thinking? why did i think it would be "fun" to have a kid? she had similar reasons as she thought it would be "fun" to start a family and have people who really LOVED her unconditionally…and she wanted to be a grown up…HAHA funny thing is ladies, having a kid ties you to your parents more than ever these days bc you can't afford to take care of the kid without them!
Americans are indeed stupid…
im from gloucester and one of my friends (from gloucester too) is actually due to have her baby next month.. she met her baby daddy last year at fiesta (an italian carnival type thing) and she was trying to get pregnant basically since she met him. I just dont understand why someone so young would want to throw their life away to be locked down with some drug addict homeless loser.. i tried to tell her sooo many times that she could wait till she's older, more mature and more ready to have a baby in general but she just insisted, and here we are a month away from her due date and she has alienated all of her friends and family to be with this kid who doesnt even have a job, let alone a house. right now i think she's living with her soon to be baby daddy's father but i dont know for sure because she hasnt spoken to me… you know who you are and i hope your happy about all the decisions youve made.. i guess your not the only one who thought it would be cool to have a baby as a teenager.
Read closer people, Perez said "use a condom AND pull out as well" NOT, use a condom OR pull out.
Sounds like these girls are bored and are blaming their parents for not loving them when most of them probably have perfectly nice family lives.
MY FRIEND GOES THERE hahaha
Definitely get these girls tested! I wonder how much of this all comes from the media/television - actresses sporting babies as accessories?
Whatever, no one forced em. And where in the hell were their parents??
um, i dont think juno is to blame. why wasn't anyone popping out kids when gilmore girls came out? she was a teen mother who's kid eventually went to yale, but still. same difference.
ok i am from gloucester and i have moved on but still love. The problem with it is there is a island mantality when you live there most don't leave. most don't even go over the bridge as they call it. its hard to get out when you have everything that you need right there its a beautiful place but there deffintly needs something to be done about all the teenage mothers
Can everyone PLEASE stop blaming Perez for putting this news up? Look at how many posts there are commenting on the story, because it actually INTERESTS people. He's reporting interesting news and let him do it!! It's not hurting you to read it. In response to the article, I'm 21 and can't even imagine having a child, it's hard enough to take care of myself!! I say that these girls are given an infant or two for a week straight and see how badly they want a baby of their own!!!! I think that that should be required for all teenage girls !!!!
Babies having babies are the reason why grand parents are raising their grand children. Just ask me…..I am 54 and my husband is 60 and we are raising our 2 year old grand daughter. You can't imagine the number of friends we have that are doing this as well. Please kids…please think before you think you can raise a child on your own.
4 out of the 5 prom queen candidates were pregnant when I was a senior in high school….and this was 12 years ago. This is nothing new.
