Going to School Being Pregnant?? Posted: 08-18-03 14:05pm
Im only 16 and im not quite sure if im
pregnant, im going to wait a few more days
till I see if I miss my period or not then
I will bring it up to my mother. But the
only real thing that im worried
about is if I am pregnant; can I still go
to school? Im on the dance team so I know
I most likely will have to give that up!
I have this friend whose mother had her
when she was only 15 but she said she went
to a school for pregnant teens and I was
wondering if those school are still around
or if there is any programs for teen
pregnancy. Please reply, thanks a lot!!

If you go to a catholic school then when
your 5 months pregnant they will not let
you continue anymore and will send you to
a school for pregnant teens. Some people
are more comforable starting there because
people can be so cruel at school because
of your pregnancy. The schools for
pregnant teens are designed to create a
non-judgemental environment and have a day
care there so others who already have
children can continue their schooling as
well.

Thanx Posted: 08-18-03 15:50pm
Thanx for ur reply, I just got done
talking with my mother about it all and
she wasnt upset at all which made a feel
better. We accutally talked about
everything like how when she was younger
and when she lost her virginity which to
my suprise it was young!! We also talked
about what would happen if I did end up
becoming pregnant and she said she'd
support me and that shes just glad its
with the guy im with now than any one else
(shes met him, and likes him) shes also
going to put me on the pill so nothing
does happen, but before we do anything we
are going to wait and see if I am
pregnant. What also makes me scared is if
I am pregnant, how ppl are going to react
in school like if they are going to call
me names (promiscuous person, etc..) and
talk behind my back. This guy was my
first and only but I dont know....

Thanx...best Kind of B.c.? Posted: 09-01-03 20:01pm
Thanks for your replies...They mean a
lot....I found out that I am not pregnant,
which makes me feel better. It would have
also not been so good if I was because my
boyfriend is in the army. But he is
coming home probably in a year or
something and by then I am going to be on
some kind of birth control. Does anyone
know of the best kind of birth control to
use? Well thanks for all your replies.
Magz~ good luck with your pregnancy, I
give you all my applaud (sp) for your
great confidence towards everything.

Its good to hear that your mom is cool
with everything, and that you know you are
not alone if you are in fact pregnant. I
give everyone credit who continue to
attend normal school while they are
pregnant. Why should a teen mom have to
give up regular high school just to attend
a "special" school that has a focus of
teaching these young girls how to be moms.
Just because someone is pregnant
shouldnt mean they are forced to leave
school. I went to a catholic school, and
they tried to force 2 girls to leave and
go to a "special school". If these two
girls left, their high school education
would be sacrificed....Instead of math and
science, it was home-ec...Being a mom and
stuff. It was the students at my school
that petitioned the school board to fight
with these two girls to have them be
allowed to make the choice where they
wanted to go to school. In the end, both
remained at our high school...And one gave
birth a month after final exams. The odd
person may give pregnant moms a hard time,
but for the most part, I think people will
respect the decision you have made - to
stay in school, and raise your child.
Good luck with everything!

I was pregnant throughtout my senior year
in high school. Almost everyone there
was really supportive. Everyone asked
questions, (when are you due, who's the
father, are you still together, do you
know what the baby is, what are you going
to name it) there's no way to avoid them.
Yeah, you get tired of answering them,
especially when the same people ask you
over and over again. My school even had
a day care for the teachers' and the
students' kids. As far as I know, they
shut it down this school year because the
lady who ran it died of breast cancer in
february. but
anyway, most people are supportive, but
there are those few who give you weird
looks. You learn to ignore them though.
The teachers worked with me to make sure
I got caught up on all my work (a couple
even exempt me from the final exams).
It's not that hard to deal with a baby
while you're still in school, my mom was
very supportive, too. If you ever think
you are again, just relax, things will
work themseves out. But next time be
more careful.

Hey! I am 15 and pregnant! I am 7 months
pregnant and I have attended school since
august. Some kids are going to ridicule
you if you are and I mean not all will!
It could happen to anyone! And I was on
the color guard, played softball,
fastpitch, and I cheered and I had to give
it up but I mean they are letting me back
on all of this stuff next year so thats
always a good thing. When I found out I
was pregnant I was scared that noone was
going to talk to me anymore and I was
going to be a loner but when I started
school everone was actually nice and felt
sorry for me and then they all were
wanting to know when I was going to have
my baby shower so they could attend. So
its really not that bad!! Well if you
have any other questions feel free to pm
me k?

The bad part is, when you have your baby.
Nobody is really there for you anymore.
Thats how I know who your true friends
are. They are nice while your preggy cuz
its cute but nobody really likes to wait
around for you when they want to go out
and stuff. Who knows.

When I was pregnant I want to a regular
school that just had a daycare in it. No
special school or nothing. I have my
daughter 11 months and now I do school
throught the computer. You should just go
to school. After the baby do dance again
it will help with the weight.
about is if I am pregnant; can I still go
to school? Im on the dance team so I know
I most likely will have to give that up!
I have this friend whose mother had her
