Teen Girls' Pregnancy Pact

I am really trying to wrap my brain around this whole thing. A few of my thoughts...

I feel really bad for these girls. Are they just screaming for attention? Uneducated? Coming from poor families? Or are they really just falling into the buzz of hollywood and thinking that having a baby is glamorous and fun?

Then media/school officials/their families try to point the finger. It's the movies out today like Juno and Knocked Up that are making people want to have a baby and they think things will turn out the same for them. No it's Jamie Lynn Spears fault. (She's Britney Spears little sister from the Disney show Zoey 101 that got pregnant at 16 years old.) Everyone's just trying to be like her. Let's face it today's teens are sexually active. This group of girls just went way to far and somehow made a bad idea sound like a really good one and they all jumped on the bandwagon.

I don't think it does any good trying to figure it out and blame someone. I guess the idea is to learn from these things, reach out to those that we can, and move on. It's really sad to me and I just hope it doesn't become a tipping point like high school shootings and now that one group of girls has done it that another group in Arizona or Wisconsin is going to jump on board.

Let me know your thoughts. I'm interested to see if this has struck a chord with anyone else besides me.
