17 teens at a MA school make a pact to get pregnant!

i agree with everything said up above.

im pulling a race card here: would this even be a story if these girls (or the school/neighborhood) were not white? Because these same girls who are looking for love and think having a baby to raise is all fun times and giggles and even get pregnant with their friends to raise babies together--would probably be on Maury and made a spectacle of.

Send them to a bootcamp, a women and children's shelter, scare them straight and see how they feel at the babyshower.

who ARE the boys involved in all this--are they boyfriends, FWBs, random hookups? and seriously, one of the fathers is a homeless man? WTF?? are they all the same guy who thought it would be awesome to be a father to 17 babies at the same time?

and yeah, you go right ahead and blame TV/movies. that'll help. x 1000. would it have been any better if these girls were ALL in committed, monogamous relationships? or if they had intentions on marrying their babydaddies? but ohhhhhhh, theyre UNWED, theyre lives are sure to be doomed.

Totally agreed with you on every point.

Actually in my experience, the black women I knew in high school were much more educated about their reproductive options and the rights afforded them than white women.

Also rolling my eyes at them trying to prevent the doctors from giving the girls birth control.

Race isn't a "card" but to answer your question, no.

I thought we were going to ignore the obvious and not go THERE.

Those people on Maury can't keep their legs closed.
