Who Really Cares If There Was A Pact?

Okay, so rarely do I get this riled about newspaper coverage, but I do have to say, I am getting tired of all of the coverage the girls from Gloucester High School in Massachusetts are getting. I think as a society, we are asking the wrong question. Do we really care if there was a pregnancy pact between the seventeen girls that are now pregnant. Isn't the proper question, why did they decide to get pregnant? Let's assume arguendo, that there was a pact, wouldn't the reason behind the pact be more important than the pact itself? And if there wasn't a pact, does that mean there was something in the water in Gloucester, Massachusetts? When will we forget about the stupid he said she said and get to the real question: why are high school kids getting pregnant?
