A new article in TIME magazine revealed an epidemic of teen pregnancy at Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass. Reporter Kathleen Kingsbury discovered that out of the 17 girls who became pregnant this year, half were sophomores who made a pact to get pregnant and raise their children together.
The 15- and 16-year-old girls were primarily impregnated by their boyfriends; however, in one instance a 24-year-old homeless man was identified as the father.
The Today Show examined the story this morning and spoke with Kingsbery and 18-year-old Gloucester teen mom Christen Callahan, among others. "You lose everything," Callahan told Today host Meredith Vieira.
