Time magazine reports,
As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year.
By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, “some girls seemed more upset when they weren’t pregnant than when they were,” Sullivan says.
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,” the principal says, shaking his head.
The girls who made the pregnancy pact—some of whom, according to Sullivan, reacted to the news that they were expecting with high fives and plans for baby showers—declined to be interviewed. So did their parents.
But Amanda Ireland, who graduated from Gloucester High on June 8, thinks she knows why these girls wanted to get pregnant. “They’re so excited to finally have someone to love them unconditionally,” Ireland says. “I try to explain it’s hard to feel loved when an infant is screaming to be fed at 3 a.m.”
Gloucester’s elected school committee plans to vote later this summer on whether to provide contraceptives. But that won’t do much to solve the issue of teens wanting to get pregnant.
Yesterday I wrote about some 12 year-old girl who took her dad to court for not allowing her to go on a school trip after she posted sexy pics online, now this? Crazy.
On a sidenote, this just wasn’t my week at all. I hope to feel better next week. Have a fun weekend and stay away from pregnancy pacts! Good lord! And if you know any young girls, please tell her/them that getting pregnant with her friends is one of the biggest mistakes she could possibly make.

50 Cent is suing Shaniqua Tomkins for defamation for claims he set her home a blaze, now she’s filed a restraining order out against him. 50 hasn’t seen his son since the fire and Shaniqua would like to keep it that way. I can’t blame her.
I wasn’t there. I didn’t see shyt, but Shaniqua claims that she heard noises, then half an hour later, the roof, the roof, the roof was on fire! An empty can of gasoline was later found at the home.
UPDATE:
Tompkins got a temporary restraining order against Fiddy, which, we’re told, will require him to forfeit any guns and other firearms — and any pickup and drop off of Marquise must be “at curbside.” He’s also not allowed to be on any premises where Shaniqua is, but there’s no distance specified.Shaniqua’s lawyer Paul Catsandonis says that they will be arguing for a permanent restraining order against the rapper next month.
That was easy! Remember, TMZ cameras filmed a 50 and Shaniqua argument where he got so upset, people had to hold him back?

PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor Mario Lopez shows off his abs – and then some – to a crowd of waiting fans following his Wednesday performance in Broadway’s A Chorus Line.
I’m no homophobe, but the buck nekkid, sprawled out on a bear look is SO gay.
Females, we always chop off our locks, dye or change our hair for comfort after a bad breakup. It cracks me up each and every time. It’s like our subconscious hope that we’ll feel better about ourselves and we’ll become hotter if we cut it all off. It’s stupid as hell and I luv it! How can you not change your hair after a bad split? It’s an act of independence and defiance and psycho ass bitchness.
Anne Hathaway, who recently split from boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, makes a glamorous exit from her appearance Thursday to promote Get Smart on Good Morning America.
I get it, Jenny, and as the world can clearly see, you’re proud of your tits.
You also once bragged about how people pay to have boobs like yours, and you just happen to be all natural. But, just cover up already. The exposed bra look is tacky and you’re setting yourself up for one hell of a nip slip.
Some worried that Wino was infected with tuberculosis after she began coughing up blood last night.
Doctors are also worried by skeletal Amy’s weight loss and lack of appetite, other symptoms of tuberculosis.
The 24-year-old Back to Black star has an irregular heartbeat and has been on a drip while medics try to wean her off hard drugs.
“She’d been been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined.
Amy — who was steadily lost weight since hitting the big time in 2004 — collapsed at home in Camden, North London, on Monday.
Medics were trying to discover if the collapse is related to a seizure she suffered last August when she was hospitalised after a huge drug binge. Tests at the time detected brain problems caused drug abuse.
Today, Amy’s rep, Chris Goodman, said Amy has a chest infection and she had a routine test for TB, which came back negative.
I wonder when and if Amy will ever pull it together. It would be such a tragedy if she was taken away at such a young age. She’s so talented and she’s completely pathetic. I’m glad Amy’s okay, for now that is.
