Following his words, the TV screen switched to the campus scenery of Gloucester City Secondary School. The female voice narrated: This is the secondary school that the girls go to. It has 1,200 students. Its medical clinic performed 150 operations last school year. Pregnancy test, but since the end of January this year, the school found that a group of girls frequently went to the clinic to ask for a pregnancy test, and the number of pregnancy tests far exceeded the percentage of the same period. What puzzled the school was that the reaction of the girls was very abnormal. If they were not pregnant , they would be disappointed; if pregnant, their reaction would be.

They would cheer loudly and give high fives, just like winning a jackpot. In the picture, the principal Joseph Sullivan sat behind his desk, and he shook his head helplessly: It's really unimaginable. Usually girls It was scary and confused, but they didn't, they seemed to be trying to get pregnant, which caught our attention.

A document file appeared on the screen, and the camera zoomed in on the title Operation Juno: Pregnancy Protocol on the top of the document. The female voice narrated: After the school's investigation, they found that these girls were planned and agreed group pregnancies. What is shocking is that there are more than 50 names of girls on the agreement, accounting for almost one-tenth of the girls in the school.

On the fabric sofa, Wang Yang and Jessica were next to each other, watching the TV screen silently. Seeing the huge , Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: They are so stupid. Jessica leaned against his shoulder, comfortingly said: Baby, don't blame yourself? This is not you wrong.

Wang Yang smiled lightly, and asked back: Everyone said that, Mark, Michael, Zachary, Rachel...whose fault is that? Now 17 girls are pregnant, and they will be mothers a year later. They were only 16 years old. He rubbed his forehead vigorously, and said more and more loudly: Whose fault? Their own? Their parents? School? America? Juno?

You know, I don't take myself too seriously, but I can't just say 'it's none of your business' to myself and let it go. But sweetheart... He looked at Jessica and asked for help: What can I do?

Jessica kissed his cheek, looked at him tenderly, and said, Yang, I'm worried about you... Wang Yang also kissed her cheek, smiled at her, and said, It's okay ,I'm okay.

The news reports on the TV screens continued, as none of the 17 girls were of age, besides students from the school, there were also some men in their 20s, Gloucester Mayor Caroline Kirk, who caused them to become pregnant. Authorities are considering whether to charge the men with rape, he said. So what motivates girls to get pregnant? Why did this thing happen?

Obviously they were influenced by a movie.

Family expert Fran Bryson looked at the camera without naming names, but everyone knows which movie it is. He added: Movies make them think that being pregnant as a teenager is a very serious thing. cool thing. They imitate that girl, they want to be that girl, so there is now a mass pregnancy. This is a bad social culture.

This incident has shocked the entire city of Gloucester. Reporters interviewed passers-by on the streets of this port city. A white woman said: It's too bad, a middle-aged man said: It's unbelievable. The men involved in this matter should be ashamed, they should go to the electric chair. ... And the reporter interviewed some teachers and parents, and their words were not as covert as experts.

It's Juno. Teresa Maddow, a teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses, said to the reporter's microphone: My students are all obsessed with this movie. I think it's about Juno getting pregnant. The caring and understanding of their parents and friends, as well as the warm and touching plot, all made them yearn for it.” She also explained: “The economy has not been so good these years, and many of my students are single-parent families, and they do not have normal home education. They want to be as cool as Juno, and they want Juno's warm family.

So this is the responsibility of the parents? The screen switched to the parents again. A white male parent said sadly: I also want to spend more time with her, but I have to work 14 hours a day. I have no job, no money, no money and no life. Another A matriarch looked very angry, she almost cursed at the camera: That director has a great responsibility. He knows that he has the ability to influence children, but he gave them this movie. When it was just released, I'm worried, I already knew that.

The director is an asshole... Wang Yang shook his head mockingly, and leaned weakly on the sofa. Jessica put her arms around his waist, with a sweet smile on her face, and comforted her: You are not, I know that Juno is not teaching them to get pregnant early, everyone knows that.

Parents always seem to have their reasons. Let's hear the real thoughts of the person involved. This girl was one of the initiators of 'Operation Juno', but she withdrew at the last minute. What did she think?

After the female narrator finished speaking, the screen turned to a girl with a mosaic on her face, she said: We were watching Juno in the cinema that day, and she suddenly said 'I have a good idea', and the sisters immediately Agreed, they said it was cool, and they could be the center of attention in school, get love and care from parents and friends, and have a cute baby. Then we went to get others to join, and they thought the same, everyone said 'We're going to do something big'

Then why did you quit later? the reporter asked. The girl shrugged her shoulders, thought for a while, and then said, I like Juno very much, isn't she cool? But I don't think Magic Jan wants us to do that, he's saying that early pregnancy is no joke. Still When Juno was pregnant, I encountered a lot of difficulties, I was a little scared, I didn't know if I could be as strong and cool as her, so I quit.

Jessica immediately glanced at Wang Yang with a smile, and said, Smart girl. Wang Yang smiled, and his heart that had been tense all the time relaxed a little, and he felt much better.

The reporter asked her again, Why didn't you tell your parents or the school about this? The girl snorted amusedly, and said, Are you joking with me? I am one of the initiators. The reporter asked: Then don't you think this matter is serious? The girl shook her head and replied, I don't know, I don't know that it will become like this... She seemed to be a little suspicious and asked: Is this matter serious?

After the news was broadcast, the screen returned to the live broadcast room of the program. The host frowned and said, Is it serious? There are 1,200 students and 600 girls in Gloucester City Secondary School, and more than 50 people participated in 'Operation Juno', 17 Personally pregnant now. That's a pretty scary number, what about the rest of the schools across America? Anyway, if you have a daughter in middle school, it's time to talk to her and give her some warmth. Next news...

As soon as the news was over, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Wang Yang sat up and took it over to have a look, and said to Jessica beside him, It's Juno. He pressed the call and said, Dude. Over there Natalie said lightly: I just saw the news, you already know it? Why didn't you tell me? Wang Yang explained: I called you, but you turned off the phone. You just told me These?

Wow, I'm so angry. Do I want to comfort you? Say 'it's not your fault'? Natalie's voice was still very calm, without any emotional fluctuations at all. Wang Yang looked at the quiet Jessica, held her hand, and said, That's enough. Natalie was silent for a while, and suddenly said, Man, I need that sentence. Wang Yang smiled slightly, Consolingly: Dude, it's not your fault

Natalie on the other end smiled and said, I know, that's what I told you, and you also told yourself. I remember. Wang Yang immediately understood what she meant, and felt a lot more comfortable. He smiled at the phone: Thank you

Is this serious? It doesn't seem to be serious, it's just that 17 girls are pregnant collectively, which will not affect the presidency of George Bush who just took office; nor will it affect national security. However, once the media reported Operation Juno, it immediately shocked the whole of the United States. It was not just 17 girls who were pregnant. wait.

The media, critics, education circles, parents, and fans of the movie are all in a commotion. The serious media discusses its social nature, thinking that those girls are self-willed children, but in the final analysis it is the care given by their parents. Not enough”; and the “Washington Post” quickly surveyed 100 middle schools in different states across the United States by telephone, and their pregnancy rates have increased by 3-5% compared with the same period, which is the first increase in 10 years. The title of the headline: Early pregnancy tide is inevitable

Regarding the decision of China, CBS, and the three major TV stations to launch teenage pregnancy-themed dramas, many critics expressed doubts: Underage pregnancy is already a headline, and it is debatable whether there is a need to add more fire to it. The voices of the comments all put the responsibility for this wave of early pregnancy directly on Juno, and it is obvious that it is the culprit, the one who released the devil.

Among the parents with adolescent daughters, Juno was completely blocked. It was included in the blacklist of forbidden viewing by the parents' website, and the comment was: Beware of it, it will make your daughter pregnant.

But the more parents refuse to watch it, the more teenagers want to watch it. The rating of Juno is PG-13, and no one can stop them from walking into the cinema and having a collective pregnancy in these two days. The box office did not fall but rose, and it seemed that the final madness was about to come.

Entertainment and movie newspapers will naturally not turn a blind eye to this incident. The entertainment section of the Chicago Sun reported on Another Phenomenon Created by Magic Young: I still remember that in 1998, that scene almost scared people to death. , The ghost craze that makes people crazy? Do you still remember the song and dance craze that made all young people dance and sing in 1999? This phenomenon-level director Fan Yang created a Juno phenomenon again after a movie , a pregnancy frenzy (bad). But without a doubt, he's one of the most influential people on teens right now.

And Daily Entertainment is even more joking: Some people call him Director Baby, which is really a prophet's nickname. It turns out that it means 'the director who makes people want to give birth to Baby'. At the end, it wrote: Except for rejecting the invitation to adapt Juno, Fantastic Yang has not responded to 'Operation Juno' for the time being. How is he feeling now?

Yang...you haven't slept yet? Sensing Wang Yang next to the pillow turning around, Jessica opened her eyes in a daze, and she saw him staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Hearing her voice, Wang Yang turned his head to look at her and apologized, I'm sorry to wake you up. He stroked her side long hair, and said softly, Go to sleep, don't worry about me, I'm here Just thinking about something.

Thinking about that? Jessica said, rubbing her eyes. Wang Yang hummed, looked at her with a smile and said, Not all of them, but... I was thinking about what I should do? Jessica turned sideways, raised her cheeks with her right hand, and said, Is this okay? You can directly Tell them in the papers not to be like Juno, early pregnancy isn't cool at all.

I don't think it's useless. Wang Yang frowned, and said, They like Juno, not me. Who cares what Wang Yang said? It's like we put posters of Spiderman on The head of the bed, but not Stan Lee. Jessica was also very distressed for a while, and asked, Then what should I do?

Wang Yang looked at her and was silent for a while, thinking of the girl who quit last, said: You are right, I still want to say, there are still some people who listen to what Wang Yang said, I can't lie here If you say it’s useless, don’t do it, that’s too stupid. And I’m not Neo, there are many reasons for early pregnancy cramps, I just do my part... Looking at her, she smiled sweetly and happily , he smiled and said: I almost have an idea, but I need to think about it again, you go to bed first.

En. Jessica replied, but her black and white eyes were closed, and she still looked at him without blinking. Wang Yang and her looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly he hugged her and said, OK, I'll hold you. Jessica, who was lying in his arms, smiled crisply: It's not this, I just want to see you Wang Yang kissed her hair, hugged her tightly and said with a smile: But I want to hug you, go to sleep.
