OMG girls made a promise to get pregnant?

Question

Answer 1

Well I had not seen it on the news, but I looked the story up and that is quite a story. I think that is a crazy thing and obviously their parents did not teach them enough about either abstinence or safe s*x. They needed some serious babysitting before they got themselves pregnant and will be awakened rudely when the reality of life sets in. Being a single mother is not easy by far and  they should have thought the consequences through. Now not only do they have to care for someone else for the next 18 years but also dont get to have a life of their own for many years. People need to go out and experience life... live a little before having kids because trust me, when you have children you cannot just pick up and go, everything pretty much needs to be planned out and babysitters need to get paid. This is a very sad story and dont get me wrong. Babies are wonderful adventures when they are brought into a stable and loving environment. Babies change everything!!! And boy will these girls soon find that out. Cherish your childhood and teenage years and take advantage of them!! Have fun but be responsible too!!

Answer 2

what you forgot to mention is that all the girls were under the age of 16 and all went to the same high school...kind of sad i think...since you are asking

Answer 3

How unbelievably selfish....to bring an innocent child into a world where it will get jipped out of a normal decent life.

Answer 4

I saw the same story on the news.  It has become an idiotic, "it's all about me" society.  I wonder what the babies would have wanted if they could have a voice.  Poor babies.

Answer 5

wow i only live like 30 min from here, their parents obvioulsy taught them nothing though i guess it is better than a sucide pact. they obviously never saw that movie with um... whats her face from spiderman where her mom says babies take a lot more love than they give...

Answer 6

How old are they? A Homeless man? Did she do the deed with him or just use his sperm? Where is this article? I would like to read it... do you have a link?

**Edit** Thanks for the link. OMG! I am stunned!!!  That isn't just a couple girls that is a LOT of girls!!! I guess I could see a few girls being stupid and making a deal with each other but it's an entire epidemic! It almost sounds like they need to have an intervention. I'd be locking up my daughter to make sure she didn't get involved with that!

Answer 7

Yeah I heard that today too. Back east?

People like that have problems, don't worry yourself too much over it..

Answer 8

That's crazy.

Answer 9

crazy

Answer 10

they are so stupid for doing that..

they have to get a lot of money so they can pay for their kids..

what are they idiots?!

their parents probably dont care for them that good..

so they wanted to raise their own kids better then their mom and dad..

something is wrong with them...

they are messing with their lives..!!

Answer 11

Are these girls married? I have heard of young girls wanting to have a baby so that they would have someone to love and love them back...I agree this is crazy. These girls need to get help from a trusted adult. Having a baby will NOT solve anything!

Answer 12

the homie probably liked it.

but that is DISCUSTING.

Answer 13

They obviously have something missing in their lives, like a baby.

Answer 14

wow. that sounds pretty stupid to me. but hey who knows....

Answer 15

Idk how old you are but I'm 17 and I wouldnt dream of getting pregnant just so i could "unconditional" love from some one. If they honestly think like that, then they have major problems.

And, sure my friends and i joke about having our kids grow up together but, thats way in the future!

They need help!

Answer 16

I think its insane, and the parents really need to step in with their daughters and get them some counseling, and perhaps a puppy.

Answer 17

So very true! And its sad and just awful that these girls I believe it was a group of 17 or 18 of them that decided to join in together to get pregnant. Did they forget that it costs money to raise a kid. Its just immature and the fact that somewhere crying uncontrollably when they found out they were not prego! They need to check the drinking water in that town because something is sooooo not right with any of that! Well you keep doing what you've got to do to protect yourself, whether its abstinence, BC or condoms. Sounds like you've got your head on straight so try to encourage your friends not to get knocked up too!

Answer 18

I agree that its stupidity.....

Earlier one of the questions on here was that we should be teaching younger children its ok to have s*x and informing them on how to enjoy it and all the other information.

I think its over exposure to this kind of information that leads to situations like these rediculous pregnancy pacts. When society finds it acceptable for 13-17 year olds to be having babies and makes allowances for them then of course they'll take full advantage of it. Here in Australia they give you $5000 for doing it - baby bonus.

I dont think that we should make no allowances at all but stop making it seem like its just ok to do it in the first place when its not.

Answer 19

They should tell them to start taking prenatal pills before getting pregnant and switch them with birth control pills.

Answer 20

Getting pregnant at the same time seems like something people would do in a colt of some sort but you know it not un heard of for young girls (run aways, abused teens, girls that had a hard home life...) to want someone that will always be theirs. I agree it the wrong reasons but  we all have to live are own lives right???

Answer 21

I agree with you.  They are wanting to have children for the wrong reason, I think.  They should be thinking of what is best in the long run for the babys.

Answer 22

ok?

Answer 23

They just need to wait!!!

Answer 24

omg thats horrible

where did you read it?? please email it to me or tell me

Answer 25

I think that you are on the right path and clearly have a more realistic picture of what being a parent is about. These girls (I'm guessing you are too young to be thinking about having a baby given your conern in this post) are delusional and in for the shock of a lifetime if they do indeed get pregnant.

Kudos to you for being one smart cookie!!!!

Answer 26

Oh I read that, it's crazy!

It's hard to beleive. You would have to have.. issues to do this.
