I didn't go to a Catholic high school, I actually went to public. When I was in school you rarely saw a pregnant girl (even though it happened) mainly because they were made to go to the classes for pregnant girls at a different high school. It wasn't until my senior year that I saw pregnant girls at school and what was sad is that these girls received a tremendous amount of attention. The other girls in the school thought it was "so cool" that they were pregnant. Which I personally find pretty disturbing. I think the girls weren't "forced" anymore to go to the other school because of some parents complaining.
My issue with what this whole thread is about is the same issue others have mentioned the fact that nothing happened to the guy. I hate to think that we still live in a society that still BLAMES the woman when pregnancy occurs. HELLO do we not know how babies are made? Last time I checked it took both a sperm and an egg, which means a man and a woman. Stupid people.
The boy should have not been allowed to walk either. He should be suffering the same consequences that she is.
But I applaud her for standing up for herself and saying that it was wrong what the school was doing and walking.
