She is only a teenager though, not even a legal adult, and she wasn't considering the safety of her child because that's something she's never had to do. She may have been thinking about going to college to play ball and was probably upset when her playing time got cut down.

Probably, but she probably also, because she is 17, assumed that she was being penalized for being pregnant. Teenagers are self centered (I sure was) so she probably didn't even consider that even if that were included in the adults' line of thinking, the safety of her baby should've been the most important issue to both sides and probably was the first consideration the school made, since a miscarriage or injured fetus would likely result in a lawsuit.
Yet another example of why your average teenager should not be having a baby. Hopefully her support at home is good and her parents can help her grow up quickly so she can be a good mom.
