Can you still go to high school if you're pregnant?

State constitutions guarantee a right to education and promise equal opportunities for all students in public schools. That said, teen mothers generally have issues with caring for their child unless their parents are willing to take care of the kid for them. Teens don’t have the time or funds to take care of their children from work when they are at public school are day long. Thus they generally drop out. So it all depends on how much people around you are willing to do your job as a mother for you while you finish up being a kid...

It depends on the school and the district. Your pregnancy and the child after can be a distraction for the rest of the class. Some districts transfer pregnant girls to a different school or put them in online classes. You would have to check with your district. But please do not plan on getting pregnant until you are at least very close to graduation.

Yes I went to school while I was pregnant and even got to bring my son in a few times after he was born.

[maceygirl]

Yes, there were some at my high school...
Guess they forgot to take the morning after pill, lol

[kyleelyn199723]

Of course. Your freedoms don’t get taken away just because you are pregnant

[DonkeyDan]

Yes.

When I was in high school the answer was NO.

[kyleelyn199723]

Oh please, women have been getting pregnant early in life for ages

[Mac-One]

@kyleelyn199723 I graduated from high school in 1961. Some girls still got pregnant but the views and standards were different then.

[Mac-One]

There was girl we knew who got pregnant and she was required to drop out.

[kyleelyn199723]

Women barely had rights at that time so that makes sense

[Mac-One]

@kyleelyn199723 Pregnant teachers even had to go on leave once they began to show.

[kyleelyn199723]

Yeah because women didn’t have much rights to begin with

[Mac-One]

@kyleelyn199723 Not just girls. Had dress codes for both girls and boys during school hours. Girls had to wear either skirts or dresses no shorter than 1" above the knee. Boys had to wear semi-dress (casual) trousers (with belt if they had belt loops), and shirts with a collar (no t-shirts). Neither could wear jeans or shorts (or athletic shoes outside of physical education class) during school hours even in warm weather and we did not have air conditioning in the school.

[kyleelyn199723]

That wasn’t just during that time, I went to a private school and the attire was uniforms that were either skirts or dresses for girls and boys had to Semi dress

[Mac-One]

@kyleelyn199723 I was referring to public school.

Unless the HS you go to has some rule against it, then I don't see why you can't.

[Jamie05rhs]

Of course you can.

[In_Trance]

pretty sure you can

[Kelly6]

Yes why not?

[Jmmmfi4]

I think so

But I don't recommend getting pregnant at your age
