((School Superintendent SOT: Originally we took notice of this when there were 10. They are young white women. We understand some of them were together talking about becoming pregnant and that becoming a positive thing for them.))That's left people in this Massachusetts city wondering: What were they thinking? ((Jason Grown/City Council guy: They're not making rational decisions...))The teens allegedly told school health officials that they wanted to have babies at the same time so they could raise them together.((Resident: They're going to end up on welfare and it just breaks my heart.))Local lawmakers say the pregnancies are just another sign that the city's sex ed program needs a makeover A-SAP.2 of the school's health officials resigned last month after a fight over distributing birth control.The clinic's doctor and chief nurse wanted to be able to confidentially give students contraceptives.

@gabzley First of all my sorry cause my English is bad. Sometimes we hear about a story in the new they talk a lot about and then they stop (like they talk about a Women that could be stoned to death in Iran and after we never know if she's dead or not) so now we don't know if these girls are ok with their babies if they help each oder even if there was no pact do you know if they are friends and if they help each oder?
