"Hey! Did you hear about the girls in Glouchester, MA, who all made a &amp;quot;pregnancy pact&amp;quot;? Apparently 17 girls at one high school all got pregnant at about the same time so they could raise their babies together. Some of their friends are saying that they did it so they would always have a baby who would love them unconditionally. Other people are blaming the glamorization of pregnancy, like with stars Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Ashlee Simpson. I always think that you guys are really much smarter than &amp;quot;the media.&amp;quot; So even if the tabloids are on bump patrol with young stars, I think you get it that those celebs are rich and pampered, so they&amp;#039;re able to care for a baby in a way that teen girls can&amp;#039;t. Plus all those stars are in their 20s, already graduated from high school, and living on their own. But I&amp;#039;m more worried if it&amp;#039;s true that these girls want to have babies so someone would love them. Life is confusing. And everyone wants to be loved. But why didn&amp;#039;t they make a pact to love EACH OTHER and to support each other no matter what? Girls need to help each other get through all the awful, tricky, and confusing times \u2014 not make things even more complex by adding a baby into the equation.  Check out the support that the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy is giving to everyone. Let me know what you&amp;#039;re thinking.
