Pregnancy Pact? Options

[MissFits]

Read this article.
Not only are these girls not ready to be parents, they want to be parents for all the wrong reasons.
When my best friend found out she was pregnant, I didn't tell her I'd get pregnant too, I offered to aid her in raising her beautiful baby girl.

Another thing that makes me angry is the comments blaming the school for having a day care. Just because someone is a teen parent doesn't mean they don't deserve an education. I went to an alternative school where they offered day care and parenting classes for underage parents. I don't think that encourages kids to get pregnant, but it helps them, because accidents do happen.

Your opinions?

It's just strange, although I can understand why these girls would do it, because I've read enough about teenage girls wanting children just so they could receive unconditional love from someone. But it's still not a wise decision to make. I would never make a pregnancy pact.

I agree with you that it's good for schools to have day care centers. In case a girl is impregnated accidentally or against her will and she decides she wants to keep it, she shouldn't have to drop out of school to take care of it.

Agree.

Is it possible that this school, and others like it, encourage teens to have children by lessening the consequences?

I don't think so. I think it's just that the school is filled with highly unintelligent prebuscent teens who enjoy fornication. Kudos to their futures.
