Britney Spears, Then To Now Celebs Who Lean To The Right It is a Chicago public school full of energy and spirit. It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common – something you might find disturbing.

CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports.

All those young ladies are moms or moms-to-be at Paul Robeson High School. It's not a school for young mothers, it's a neighborhood school. And all of the pregnancies have happened, despite prevention talk.

If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there's no simple explanation.

Chicago Public Schools says it does not track the overall number of teen moms in the district. But Robeson Principal Gerald Morrow knows the count at his school in Englewood: 115 young ladies who are either expecting or already have had children.

To put it in perspective, their school pictures would fill roughly six pages of their high school year book.

Why is it happening at Robeson?

"It can be a lot of things that are happening in the home or not happening in the home, if you will," Morrow said. Absentee fathers are another factor, he said.

LaDonna Denson and two other Robeson students say parents not talking to teens and, in some cases, the pursuit of public assistance also factor into the pregnancies. None of them thought they'd be moms at such a young age.

They said they have support at home. But not all girls do, they said. In fact, some girls get thrown out of the home.

Not on Morrow's turf. "We're not looking at them like 'Ooh you made a mistake,'" he said. "We're looking at how we can get them to the next phase, how can we still get them thinking about graduation?"

So there's help in a teen parent program. And coming soon, right across from Robeson, developers are turning a one-time crack house into a day care for student use. "We have to provide some type of environment for them and some form of support for them," Van Vincent, CEO of VLV Development, said.

It's all made an impression.

"Just cause you have a baby, that doesn't mean your life is over," one student said.

One thing they might not know about their principal: His mom had him when she was 15. That's why accepting the problem -- and working through it -- is so important to him.

How about Lower mainland high schools?

lol saw this on leno the other night,

I don't think lower mainland is anywhere near 1 in 7, but I wouldn't know

I remember there were maybe 2 or 3 when I was in high school. These were the ones who actually went through with it. Don't know how many may have gotten pregnant then abortion.

did you see that ice cream truck parked beside that school ?

hmm...this is kinda sad. feel kinda bad for these young girls who never seemed to have sex ed.. :/

I dont think my highschool had any students that were pregnant. There were a few homosexuals and a guy who think hes a girl, he even dress like one. Thats about it though.
Could be the media, Jamie Lynn Spears had a baby and shes like what? 16?

back in high school it'd probably be like 1 or 2 per ~400 student grad class..im sure there were more unreported ones lol

arent there quite a bit for the bby south student body? I know they have a day-care for parent students??

kids gotta learn to use emergency contraceptive haha... plan B!

My school runs a program for teen moms. Got a day care on-site and everything. With that came a replacement name for my school, "Get Pregnant". Only one in Surrey as far as I know.

In other news, the boys at Paul Robeson High School are reported to be the happiest in all of America.

dam.. i wish i went to that high school..

there were a few students in my high school who i remember were pregnant

Makes me want to go back to high school with a case of condoms. FUCK YEAH. High school bitches love the older guy with a job and a truck.

Lol we had this at richmond secondary before the new school came up. Got rid of it and it's program once the new school came up, which is a good sign. I think my graduating year didn't have any teen mom fails, there was one in the year above mine though.

MILF

but anywhoo, saw a pregnant grade 12 walk past me in the hallway...

This is why sex education is so fucking important. The US has had abstinence only education for the last 9 years now. Telling kids not to fuck is like telling kids not to touch the hot stove.

It only makes them want it more.

wonder how many of these teen moms will end up on maury "WHOS MY BABIES DADDY"
