Teens make pregnancy pact
June 20: A group of teenagers at a Massachusetts high school made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. TODAY’s Meredith Vieira talks to a teen mother, a school official and the TIME magazine reporter who broke the story.


BOSTON - An investigation has been launched into an apparent teenage "pregnancy pact" that has at least 17 high-school girls expecting babies, four times more than last year, including many aged 16 or younger.

A high school health clinic in the city of Gloucester, Mass., became suspicious after seeing a surge in girls seeking pregnancy tests. Local officials said Thursday nearly half of those who became pregnant appear to have entered into a pact to have their babies together over the year.

"Some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Gloucester High School principal Joseph Sullivan told Time magazine, which broke news of the pact on its Web site
