Ok, you tell or let your friends/classmates observe your "pregnancy." Some are likely to stand with you, others likely to talk about you or shun you. ...predictable responses in both directions, so what's been learned from her exercise?
First of all, if there are two completely disparate reactions that are both possible, it's not at all "predictable" ... second, this kind of hand-waving ("Who cares of people treat a pregnant 17 year old like shit? Shouldn't she expect it?") is kind of the point of the project.

It's a lot for her to take on, and something most of us will only experience vicariously through her report. I'm sure you can see some value in that?
