Teenage pregnancy

My school is ranked 4th highest among all schools in utah for teenage pregnancy and i always wondered why cause we are such a small school compared to the majority of Utah (and do not say it's because we've got nothing better to do, that is an over used excuse out here). But i finally came across an epiphany today while waiting in line for my lard loaded school lunch, the girl's behind me were visiting with a girl in a yellow shirt and being the nosy reporter I am I eavesdropped on their conversation. Apparently yellow shirt is now three months pregnant and is very happy at the circumstances. After Yellow Shirt left Girl #1 stated to Girl#2 that, and i quote, "being pregnant in high school was not a bad thing but only a disappointment." i'm sorry but since when did school pregnancy go from a tragedy to only a mere disappointment.
Something needs to be done here, but untill a serious change of attitude happens there is absolutely nothing we can do. Especially since last week in the same line i had to sit through(eavesdrop) another conversation about three girls and their stretch marks. This is quite disappointing. And my epiphany, at least we aren't #1.
