Hey, didn't you just say a couple weeks ago that Boston was a freakshow? This is within commuting distance.

...anyway...the Gloucester Times reported on the pregnancy pact back in March. That article mentions Spears as well as Juno and Knocked Up. A more recent article hints that some blame may lie with the fact that the high school has a day care (which, incidentally, isn't prepared to take in 18 babies [newly reported number of pregnancies]).

But also: "The idea isn't a new one, though. According to Bill Albert, deputy director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 10 percent to 15 percent of teen pregnancies are intended."

"found a 24-year-old homeless dude to knock her up anyway"

I'm guessing Gloucester High students don't take genetics until their senior year.

[unless they're actually in some kind of Tuskegee Experiment: Genetics Edition -ed.]

I had watched this special episodes and it is so great. I never missed one of it scenes. I ;like the way it was created so awesome to the viewers.
