These high school chicks formed a pact... to all get pregnant together and raise the babies as a big family... so far like 17 from the same high school are pregnant... the ones who didn't get prego were sad and the ones who were... were high fiving each other... some of them even resorted to sleeping with homeless men to make it happen..... I am glad I got a son. Crikeys.

Gather round!

Punch and judy,
Did it truly,
And were married in a haste,
In love, maybe,
Using the baby,
As a kind of romance paste,
Shes grown fatter,
Her hair cut shorter,
Looks much older than nineteen,
Hes a drinker,
Not a thinker,
Baby spoiled his could-have-been.

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and judy.

Punch and judy,
In a semi,
On a brand new council plot,
Sunday lunchtime,
Beer-for-punch time,
While his dinners far from hot,
She grows tired,
Cab is hired,
She goes round to see her friend,
He comes back late,
Fool is irate,
We will see his temper bend.

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and judy,
In a quandary,
Shes walked out, and he is mad.
Now hes grown up,
Cant smash home up,
Retribution must be had.
Punch and judy,
Had a baby,
Who brought them to married bliss.
Mr punch,,
Has drunken hunch,
That he must punish kid for this

This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and judy

sometimes the locking up dont work.

[m0t0g0th]

lock them up?  ...that's why they're like they are, so stupid and short sighted and thinking the mommy thing is the bestest onliest thing to do.

GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS MOTORCYCLES.

let them see the world and meet wacky people,  figure out there's more to life and more to being human and MUCH more to being female than imitating f'ing BARBIE.

Wow.  Society is done.  Game over. 

[Shortie]

I believe the school may be missing something... Making contraceptives easier to obtain? Can someone tell me how contraceptives are going to do any good when the girls clearly WANT to be knocked up?

Very sad indeed. Stories like this leave me with an icky feeling in my stomach. Makes me want to beat the parents of these girls to bloody hell.

Happy to be pregnant at 16 so they can have someone to love them? These girls need to love themselves (and grow up a bit) before they can effectively care for another human being.

Those poor babies. What a make the beast with two backsing mess...

Wow.  Society is done.  Game over. 

True story.

I'd wager that if mom and dad stayed home, a bit, and did some things with their daughters, that might change a few things.  "Send them out into the world"?  Why would you do that before properly equiping them to deal with it?

GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS TO MOTORCYCLISTS.

^^^^That is in rather poor taste.  (I know you were trying to be funny.)

[Pakhan]

I don't think it's in that poor taste, we seem to be a fair bunch and could have a positive impact.  I could've meant giving them to us to bring them up.  What?  I could've meant that.  Ok of course I didn't.

ok maybe it was in poor taste, but i'm sorry i still think it's funny i'm going to hell 

[edit] don't get me wrong I think these girls did something horrible.

[junior varsity]

wow.

i really am contemplating starting my own small country.

Like so many societal ills, this one is economic in nature.  When a youngster's options are truly limited, even bad options start being considered.

If that town is breaking up families because of the collapse of the US fishing industry (and thus people travel to find work or just give up to find fortune elsewhere) it stands to reason that the kids to feel abandoned, and perhaps unloved.  The passage about the desire to become pregnant so your newborn will love you unconditionally is just simply heartbreaking!!!

While intertwined, I would say that this is one of emotional poverty rather than financial poverty.  Plenty of poor kids grow up loved and don't end up doing stuff like this.
