Canton girls are easy

The title is a little play off of Earth Girls are Easy (hey, give me a break-I was going to title this post "Canton halls have many wide receivers, few tight ends") But all jokes aside, Canton, Ohio is facing a huge teen pregnancy problem:

This may seem impossible to you, but it’s true.

Sixty-five — again, 65 — of Timken High School’s 490 girl students are pregnant.

That’s a number confirmed by Principal Kim Redmond, whose staff, in less than a week, will inherit a problem it had no part in causing.

That's 13% of the high school's girls that are pregnant-at one time. The article does not go into enough detail to really offer opinions on why this is occuring or possible solutions, but this high school is worth studying (and I loathe studies) in greater detail if we want to understand and reduce teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy rates have been on a downward slide of late, but it is something I don't think we really have a firm grasp on yet.
