As summer begins at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts, seventeen girls are expecting babies. As school officals starting looking for answers in October, they noticed the same girls piling into the clinic for pregancy tests. By May, it seemed that more girls were upset because they were not expecting a child. It got worse when they found out that one of the fathers was a 24-year old homeless man. The national data showed a 3% rise in teen pregancies since 2006, but still wasn't sure if they wanted to provide birth control. Gloucester High School has plans to to vote on whether they should hand out birth control withour parental consent. But that might not solve the problems for the teens that are wanting to get pregnant.
I agree with this article. I don't think a sophomore in high school is ready to have a baby by any means. They are crazy to say that they want to raise their babies together. Do they not know how hard it will be to finish high school and raise a baby? Most of them probably aren't even old enough to get a job and they are wanting a baby. Which means that they are just excepting their parents to pay for everything. If they are just doing this for attention there are so many more ways to get attention, but not to bring a baby into this world when you aren't financially ready.

Flip Flop Flaws
Ubiquitous- existing or being somewhere at the same time
Etiquette- conventional requirements as to social behavior
Exacerbated-to embitter the feelings of a person
The American College of Foot has reported that wearing flip flop sandals can cause an increase in heel pain. A study has found that flip flops may not be the healthest choice of shoes. According to Justin Shoyer, flip flops can actually change the way you walk. Justin did a research on flip flops verse regualr athletic shoes, and actually saw differences in womens' hips, legs, knees, ankles, and toes. The result of wearing flip flops can cause more stress on your feet because you have to move more.
I agree with this artical because I work long days and I can't wear flip flops all day long. I get the worst pain in my heels and my feet actaully go numb. That's why its always good to have a good pair of tennis shoes around.
