90 Pregnant Girls In One Memphis High School!

A high school in Memphis is suffering from a teenage pregnancy epidemic after approximately 90 of its students fell pregnant or have recently given birth.

The startling rate of teen births at Frayser High School fall in line with the high teen pregnancy rates in the entire Frayser community.

A high ranking city official confirmed the figures and said the community planned to roll out a new initiative to help combat the troubling problem.

According to the DailyMail, the new campaign called 'No Baby!' has been launched to educate both teenage girls and boys about how to prevent and deal with unplanned pregnancies.

The program is also tailored to give girls the confidence to 'just say no' to sex.

But one Frayser High School graduate said that teen pregnancy has been a problem at the school for a long time.

'When we would come back from summer break, there would be a thousand people pregnant. We were like, what's going on?', Alicia Williamson joked who graduated from Frayser six years ago.

'There were a whole lot of bellies. You had to watch out so you didn't bump into them. Being 2011, I thought a lot of them would have thought this is not the right way to go, having babies during school time', she added.

Frayser High School has 978 students - 508 of which are girls which means nearly 18% of the female class members are pregnant or have recently had babies.
