Have you told school officials or your teachers of the harassment? It's not right and they need to leave her alone. In our school district, we have a school that young prego moms go to to get away from this type of hassle. The school also has a nursery that the children can be left in so that mom can finish school after the baby is born. Do you have anything like that in your area? It may make her pregnancy easier and allow her to also finish school.How can my friend deal with pregnancy and education?
It's sort of a fact of life. Teenagers will be looked at funny if they're pregnant. Might not be fair, but it's true.





Stand by your friend, and stand up to the bullies. Just stick with her and she'll be ok.





Maybe you could throw her a baby shower, and invite some of those kids to get involved.

You can do nothing except talk to the teachers. . . but that probably won't stop the comments. Teens can be very cruel especially when they are NOT the pregnant ones. Your friend made a serious lifelong mistake and now she will have to live with her decision. The decision to keep the baby will be extremely challenging and she will have major problems from this time forward. She needs counseling and a lot of it to put up with what she will have to live with for the rest of her life.
she's 15, and a junior in HS? find that hard to believe, seeing how she didn't think when she was having sex. if she is determined to get an education, she will either have to ignore the stupid children, or get her GED. she is a child having a child, how are people supposed to react to that? it's not right to be made fun of, but kids will be kids. parents need to teach their children right and wrong, and some don't.


i know that i sound mean, but it's admirable that your friend is at least having the baby, not killing it. if the father is younger, then you can count on her raising it alone.


she's in for a long life, though. i hope she remembers this the next time she thinks it's a good idea to have sex.
Tell her to ignore them all.
Give her big hugs from me and tell her to be strong. Her baby needs her to get her education no matter what the idiots around her say. I'm a teen mom myself and I totally remember the snide comments and funny looks. I would say have her contact the teachers and ask them to interfere but I know at my school the teachers were often the instigators. I personally tried to practice calm breathing whenever people started harassing me...you'll need the breathing control during labor anyway so it's a two-for-one. Stick by her she's going to need the support in the days to come. And tell her to ignore any negative comments no matter who they come from. She's doing the right thing and I'm sure she'll be a wonderful mother!
Well none of this would have started if she didn't CHOOSE to have sex. That's one of the consequences with having sex. When one CHOOSES to have sex they choose ALL of the consequences that go along with it, sometimes one of those consequences is getting laughed at. No it doesn't make her feel any better...but that was a choice SHE made.
