Well you and I both know from experience that it takes 6weeks to recover from giving birth. But I have mixed feelings about it too. I guess you all know by now that I had brat my senior year in high school, but I too recieved an excused "leave" so I could finish with out penalty. The catch was that I had to continue my work at home by recieving assignments each week. Sort of like independent study. I don't want to give kids the impression that it's OK to get preggo so early, but the fact remains that it's happening. I feel in a way this will make those girs that do find themselves in such a situation realize that all hope isn't lost and education is still and option. I caught hell tryin to complete homework and all but I did it, and I'm glad my high school didn't turn it's back on me.
