GLOUCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- One of the girls who became pregnant at Gloucester High School this year denied Tuesday there was any pact among them to have children, saying instead they decided to help each other make the best of their situations.

Lindsey Oliver rebutted the principal's claim that a sharp increase in teen pregnancies -- 17 compared to a typical four -- was in part because several girls planned to get pregnant so they could raise their babies together.
