[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh well then. Yeah, probably not uncommon to have teen pregnancies in Baltimore. [/quote]

OP again. I'm in Baltimore, but I'm asking because I'm curious how common this is outside Baltimore.[/quote]

I posted the stats by county for you.[/quote]

I saw that. The stats are interesting, but that's not really what I'm getting at. To rephrase my initial post: How surprised would you be to hear about a pregnant 8th grader in your kid's school?[/quote]

I'm in Bethesda, and unless it was a close friend of my child, I'd be surprised because I'd expect parents to rush the girl for an abortion and cover it up.

I'm not naive enough to think there has never been a pregnant girl at the school.

On the other hand, I teach in a small public school in  DC.  We haven't yet had a pregnant middle school girl that has chosen to carry,  but we have plenty of families where mom is 13 - 15 years older than the oldest child.  My heart aches for those young moms.  [/quote]
