“As Memphis City Schools leaders discuss the best way to deal with the crisis at Frayser High School, one young student is dealing with parenthood. The Action News 5 Investigators recently discovered 90 girls who attend Frayser High School are now pregnant or have already had a baby this school year.
“Frayser is in Memphis City School Board member Stephanie Gatewood’s district. She said a former principal of the school first sounded the alarm about the issue about a year ago. “Noting that our young ladies absolutely did not get pregnant in the hallways of our schools,” said Gatewood. “So while everything that happens in our communities, it just spills over into our schools. Now we as a community have to deal with them.”
“Roughly 20 percent of the female student population at Frayser High is already experiencing the trials of parenthood.”

This is ridiculous.
I wonder if parents are even edcuating thier children AT HOME foremost and this glorification and glamourizing of teen pregnancy with reality shows doesn't help. I read those teen Moms are making $60,000 to $65,000 per season, which would be alot to a teen.
It's all actually very sad as anything depicted on TV good or bad is given some kind of validity.
