The article explains:</p> <blockquote><p>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," said principal Joseph Sullivan.</p></blockquote> <p>Some girls described the desire to give birth to something that unconditionally loves them. Other observers wonder if the in-school daycare and strollers mingling with students in the hallways might be presenting the wrong impression of teen pregnancy.</p> http://www.universalhub.com/node/15138#comments Parenting Gloucester Teen Pregnancy Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:23:31 -0400 Kaz 15138 at http://www.universalhub.com
