Yup, That Sex-Ed Is Just The Ticket

Report: Gloucester Teens Had Pact To Get Pregnant

GLOUCESTER (WBZ) ― There's a stunning twist to the sudden rise in teen pregnancies at Gloucester High School. 17 students there are expecting and, according to a published report, most of them became that way on purpose.

Ok strawman...show that Gloucester High school has an extensive teen pregancy prevention program and then your "argument" might work. However, we have no idea what the sex ed classes (if at all) are like at this high school, and what motivated these girls to do this. We only have a 3 line blurb and then your commentary, based on extremely little information.

Lame.

1) what does this have to do with sex ed? sounds like these kids are suffering from a lack of it.

2) two health center officials resigned because the school wouldn't allow them to offer contraceptives to the students.

If they PLANNED on getting pregnant, all the sex-ed in the world wouldn't have mattered. Obviously, they would have known how to circumvent it and get pregnant anyway. Sex-ed is for people who DO NOT WANT to get pregnant.

She gets it. A little late (she had her baby when she was a freshman), but she gets it. emoticon

those girls should have been shown "The Miracle Of Life" when they were in 8th grade like they did me...it would have cured them of that ridiculous notion of getting pregnant in their teens.

by the way, did you notice at the end of the article, the girls just wanted someone to love them unconditionally.

that's about bad parenting as much as it is a lack of education about what childrearing really is about, especially when you're not married and a teenager with limited ability to provide for a child by yourself.

When my dad taught, he heard girls say that a lot (and this school did have sex-ed, so I don't think that's the issue). I said, let me go talk to them. I'd give them the truth! emoticon

the Time article says some blame movies like "Juno" and "Knocked Up".

maybe there's something to that...although I didn't see either movie.
