Re: 90 Girls Pregnant At Memphis High School
I just heard that 75% of the girls graduating at one of our high schools in Jackson are pregnant this year!! How sad. It's become like the latest fad.

Look at how many students are in the 9th grade compared to how many are in the 12th  That's a HUGE discrepancy. I'm thinking that this school system doesn't only have a problem with teenage pregnancy, but also a tremendously high drop-out rate. Our educational system is seriously in trouble in many, many places. Couple that with home situations that are far from what they ought to be. The church tries, but we can only do so much. We cannot force these kids to come in. What is left?

Well all I know is that no one can blame me. I've never even been to Memphis.
