Teens form Pact!

I didn’t hear about this story in the news, I heard about it in Church today. I want to start off by saying this story has been confirmed by Principal Joseph Sullivan and Superintendent Christopher Farmer of Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Massachusetts. With that being said it appears that a group of teen girls formed a pact to get pregnant. They did this so they could raise their kids together. Now, I don’t know the whole story about this, but from what I read truly believe the handling of this is so wrong. Everyone is pointing fingers at each other on how they failed these girls. Some are saying we should have handed out more condoms or provided more sex education. I even heard that 2 high school health employees quit their jobs in protest. They wanted to have more confidential distribution of contraceptives, and where told no. I’m glad they quit, this isn’t the answer, the answer is notify the Parents when these teens where coming in for pregnancy tests. These teens at times where mad when their tests came up negative. And when the test was positive, they high five each other. What in the world was the tester/school thinking when these girls where acting this way. I only have this to say, what these girls did was so wrong and everyone should let them know. Also, all schools need to contact Parents anytime a student comes in for testing, because after all, these Grandparents will be the ones raising the babies, not the teens. We must never say this is OK!
