School officials started looking into the matter as early as October, after an unusual number of girls began filing into the school clinic to find out if they were...
...girls who made the pregnancy pact - some of whom, according to Sullivan, reacted to the news that they were expecting with high fives and plans for baby showers - declined to be interviewed. So did their parents. But Amanda Ireland, who graduated from Gloucester High on June 8, thinks she knows why these girls wanted to get pregnant. Ireland, 18, gave birth her freshman year and says some of her now pregnant schoolmates regularly approached her in the hall, remarking how lucky she was to have a baby.
