Pregnancy Pact at Gloucester High

Pc_glouchester_0618 Summer is beginning in Gloucester, Massachusetts with 17 high school girls pregnant, more than four times than last year.  As they began to investigate the odd spike in pregnancy, none of the girls are older than 16, they soon found out that a group of girls had made a pact to all get pregnant and raise their children together.

It's a very sad story that looks into the broken lives of these girls who are really just searching for someone to love them unconditionally.

Check out the article here.
