What kind of personality did she have and why would she get pregnant in the first place at such an early age?
How did you feel about and react to her situation? How did her teachers and school nurses deal with it?

I don’t know a lot of details, but when I was in middle school a girl in 7th grade was pregnant. She was pulled out of school once she started showing. Never saw her again. 🙁
I grew up in a rural area that had a high teenage pregnancy rate. The first girl in my class in the ’90s who got pregnant was 14 when we were in 7th grade. I think the dad was in our grade as well, so he was either 14 or 15. She was happy about it and showed the baby off every chance she got.
My dad was a teacher in the teacher in the district and mentioned once that there was an 11 year old student of his who got pregnant. It was a really sad situation where she had been raped by someone much older, and I think the girl was mentally disabled as well, so it was a bad situation all around. No idea what happened to her.
Didn’t go to school with her, but used to be friends/coworkers with a girl who got pregnant at 12, gave birth at 13. Dad was a few years older and left when the baby was really young.
She was surprisingly well adjusted by the time I met her. It seemed like she had a lot of support from her mom, and that allowed her to still have some of the same experiences most young girls do while also being present for her child. Her daughter was kind and well behaved. She’s married now and just had her second kid.
That would be me. I was the only one who got pregnant in my year. It was not on purpose. Teens being dumb.
I got pregnant at the tail end of junior year so I came back to school senior year pretty obviously pregnant.
I wasn’t popular so there wasn’t much gossip. My friends were there for me and I was able to keep going to school. After I gave birth the school had teachers sent to my house to keep me up with my classes. After about a few weeks, I went back and finished my senior year.
The biggest fallout was with my stepfather but that’s a whole nest of bees I’m not getting into. Everyone else seemed excited.
I was 17 when I gave birth (16 when I got pregnant) and my son’s father was 20. We had met when I was a freshman and he was a junior.
We haven’t been together for over 20 years but we’re friends. Our son is 21 and we’re both active in his life.
My ex is getting married this year and I’ve been married for 10 years. I also have a second son who is 9.
My friend was in 7th or 8th grade when she got pregnant. It was unfortunately the result of lifelong sexual assault, but she didn’t tell anybody that was the case until much later. She got an abortion and attempted suicide multiple times.
I want to say 7th grade so that was in 1998. She was 12/13 and she got pregnant with triplets 🥴 I have her in FB. I’m not sure about fallout, etc. but I’ve never seen the dad or was really close with her but I imagine Dad was out of there. He won the baby lottery in that one
10th grade, she got knocked up by some 24yr deadbeat who left the state after finding out
We were in 7th grade when she got pregnant, and 8th when she had the baby. The father was about 16 at that time. Nothing happened to him. No idea where he is at but she’s now in prison for manslaughter (we’re 38 now).
14, she was a middleschool friend…the father was 14….she switched schools when she started showing and her child was raised as a sibling
I blame her dad cause the idiot was going out of town and left her alone with her bf lmao. Like buddy wanted another baby and couldn’t find a woman or idk but even in middleschool I thought that was fucking stupid.
My friend got pregnant in 7th grade and then again in 8th grade and 10th grade and now we are in our mid-late twenties and she has 7 or 8 kids now. The dad of the first 2 was the same age as us the rest i think a couple years older than us. My mom actually told me recently she thinks she’s pregnant again but I don’t have social media so i wouldn’t know. But when we were in school she would go to the nurse every so often for check ups and she would eat lunch there too. I don’t think it affected her on a social level at all and i think she even got her GED.
Additionally my husband’s mom had him at 15, his aunt had his cousin at 14? And his grandma had her first kid at 15 too i believe.
My SIL’s sister was pregnant at 13 by a 14 year old in the same school. They kept the baby and her mom helped her with their daughter. If I remember correctly she said she had to get up with her daughter the first time she woke up at night and then her mom would take over so that she would be rested for school. She and the dad got married at 17 and 18 and had another child when they were like 23 and 24. They are still together. I found out because she was my Facebook friend and her daughter was in my son’s third grade class. She posted that it was her 21st birthday and I was like wait….. whaaaaat.
7th grade sadly
Eighth grade, she was a girl that I grew up with. The father was probably in the same grade or similar. Later on, my sophomore class ended up having the highest teenage pregnancy rate in our state for that year. So, that probably gives you an idea of any kind of socia “fallout.” Or lack thereof, in this case.
A girl I went to school with became pregnant by her similarly aged boyfriend (16/17). The fallout was dramatic. She was literally top of her class — by far the smartest person in the school, on track to be valedictorian and everyone knew it. We went to a small Catholic school so it was quite a scandal. Seemed like the principal mulled it over for quite a few weeks and if I recall correctly, she was kicked out. She was smart and talented enough to land on her feet, but it was always so sad to me.
Freshman year, so both the mom & dad would’ve been ~14/15. They both went to an alternate high school for a bit to raise their daughter then came back junior year. The dad took a year off somewhere to work, so he graduated a year late. A decade later, they’re still together (married) and have three kids.
The summer between junior and senior year a friend of mine had a baby. I am 9o% sure nobody in school knew she was pregnant during the school year. We went to Catholic school in the early 9ps so I imagine she would have gotten asked to oeave school.
I don’t remember anyone in my high school year being pregnant. There was at least one I knew of from a different school a town over and I’m sure there were some (big school of 1500), I just didn’t know anyone and don’t remember ever hearing about anyone being pregnant. I went to high school from 89-94.
yo everyone’s saying 13/14, why are they all around that age!!! the girl i used to know got pregnant at 13 too.
8th grade. She was 14. Father of the child was older. Maybe late teens. It wasn’t great. She dropped out of high school (was pregnant at the end of 8th grade), then got back in school, for pregnant again.
She had a bad home life. She was a friend. I was kind. Still see her sometimes.
My junior year art class. Only class I ever shared with a pregnant classmate. She was a senior. I don’t know her last name to look up where she is now.
I wasn’t sure what grade, but I saw her in the hallway in middle school when I was in the 7th. She looked around 6 months when I glanced. Someone told me it was by her uncle. I hope that’s not true. I hope she’s doing okay.
There was a girl who got pregnant when we were either juniors or seniors in high school, so 16/17. No idea who the baby daddy was. I think he was either older or went to a different school. I’m not sure there was social fallout. She already hung out with the “bad” kids. I mean I didn’t judge her for it, shit happens, but I don’t remember there being rumors going around school or anything. In addition to this there were 2 girls I was friendly with, but not close to that were pregnant when we graduated, but no one knew yet.
In my high school, my step sister got pregnant when we were juniors. Sixteen years old. She got married at 16. Still married 41 years later.
My husband teaches high school. The youngest pregnant girl was in 8th grade when she got pregnant. The current principal at his high school was pregnant in 10th grade and 12th grade. Still married to the same guy.
She was 17 in 12th grade. She was actually pregnant with her second. She and her baby daddy were still together but he had already graduated and he was working. Her little sister (15/16) also in school with us, was pregnant as well with her first. I honestly have nothing bad to say about them. They were both nice and mature, definitely weren’t childish like the rest of us.
I was 17 before someone in my class got pregnant. 95% of my school was rich kids who’s parents taught them all about properly using birth control and did things like buy their kids condoms, she was in the 5% of students who’s parents did not.
Her pregnancy was pretty much the end of her going to school there, she ultimately had to transfer. The most common judgement she got was “I don’t know why she couldn’t have borrowed condoms from someone, she could have made it to graduation without getting knocked up”. It was really a shame.
Not grade level exactly, but when I stayed in a psych hospital due to suicidal tendencies I met a girl who was 15, had a 3 yr old, and was pregnant with her 2nd baby. It broke my heart honestly.
10th
10 grade so like 15 years old? she was very rude and wannabe “cool”, used to lie and bunk classes all the time, just overall not very likeable. i think the father was around 17 or 18 years old.
her mom had recently passed away and her dad had a stationery shop in our area – her being pregnant was a huugeee thing because teen pregnancies are not very common where i’m from. the school expelled her, everyone was talking about it and her father sent her away somewhere, not sure what happened to her tbh.
I was in 10th grade when we had a classmate get pregnant. We were all about 16-17 when her baby was born. The father was the same age, and in the same grade. They’re not together anymore, both have moved on but as far as I know, their daughter is like 13 now I think? I graduated in 2015. Also I went to a very small school. We had less than 40 people in my graduation class and that was the biggest class in 20 years.
Eighth grade we had a girl transfer to our school pregnant.
We were 13. We went to a pretty rich and white school and she was Hispanic. I remember seeing her bump and feeling curious. One day she disappeared and never returned.
I found out from my friend’s mom that the PTA had voted to kick her out and only my friend’s (Hispanic) mother fought against it. She was “overruled”. I can’t imagine getting pregnant that young and having to change schools, then being kicked out. Sometimes I still think of her.
I was in 5th Grade. It was lunch time and everyone headed to the cafeteria. We get back from lunch and my teacher went to the closet where the supplies were. She had to hang up her jacket on a hook. When she opened the door, inside we all saw two of our classmates really going at it. The looks on their faces… the whole freaking class saw. A few months later the girl Kay, was crying and I asked her what was wrong, she said she didnt know but that she hadn’t been feeling well. Next time I see her she tells me she is pregnant and R, the one in the closet was the father. They were 11. She said that she loved R and they were gonna figure it out together. R and her were forced to be in different classes now. I rarely saw Kay after that. I also know they made attempts to see eachother still but her mom wasnt having it. I seen her in passing but she wouldn’t talk to me. Everyone painted Kay out to be promiscuous but that wasn’t Kay. Kay and I had known eachother since 1st grade so I was emotionally invested. She was doing well in band and was getting ready to go to School of the Arts due to her talent playing the flute. She was super smart too! Finally after a few months I got to talk to her and she sobbed in my arms as she told me that her mom took her to get an abortion. She was never the same after that. Kay and R walked past eachtoher painfully as strangers after that. Until she switched to School of the Arts and I never saw her again. No one ever treated R different. Only Kay felt shunned including by her own mother. This was like 18 years ago. I wonder where she is. I hope she is happy and I still have love for her and our friendship all those years ago. That was tough for me to watch I cant imagine going through it. Wish I knew how to be there for her like I know now.
