How many people in your HS got preggo?

Very few that I know of. I suspect socioeconomic factors play a heavy role for most people globally in when they choose to instinctively start craving to reproduce.

For instance - lower socioeconomic household - more uncertainty if next meal will actually be available or stability will last - more stress and pressure to have kids earlier (and more of them in case a few get sickly or die without the resources to prevent that as easily) for best odds that a few of them make it through themselves to continue and reproduce themselves.

For wealthier higher socioeconomic households that have more resources and a lot more long term stability - I suspect we may see the opposite if we check the stats. Likely we will find kids from this cloth wait linger until they are more well off financially and stable themselves (as they can afford to based on their parents being in a position to support them longer with more certainty it will continue). We may also see wealthier folk (with some exceptions of preference or choice depending on what makes the individual happiest) have far fewer kids - maybe 1-2 kids tops most times. This makes sense as they can afford to put more of the resources (eggs) in one basket. If their 1-2 kids get sick they have the resources to cure them most times so don't need to have "back ups" as a contingency plan in this case as there are way lower odds of the 1-2 kids they have getting sickly or dying.

There could have been one or two, but I don't know of any, and I had a pretty big high school. Due to school overcrowding, 9th grade (freshman year) was still at Jr. High, so High School was only 3 years - 10th-12th. We had a little over 2500 students, and my graduating class was just short of 900 kids (891 if I remember right). And, yeah, I don't know of any girls who got pregnant in HS, but I know of several who got pregnant during the next couple of years after graduation.

This was a much bigger problem for our rival school one town over, though, as they had a significantly higher population of 2nd generation immigrants, and a very pro-family culture where it was common for girls to marry and get pregnant young. Not so much at my HS.

I know my sister had at least one girl who got pregnant in her class - she was 4 years behind me, so I didn't know them.

Man too freakin many. 7th-11th grade was pregnant people everywhere. There was a time i thought i was. Most of the pregnant girls self aborted through some weird shit like bleach and dishwashing soap mixed with who knows what. And somehow they are still alive and well. Others miscarried. But yea i would say at least 5 pregnant classmates yearly.

[DizzyDesii]

Sone had the same baby daddy. But also, sex ed wasn't taught until you reached 9th grade. Sex and pregnancies started 7/8th

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Our school didn't teach us until we were in 8th grade. My sister had to teach me when I was in 7th grade once she found out they didn't teach us yet (she was taught in 5th or 6th grade).

[DizzyDesii]

@PBandJ_Nerd my mom didn't try to teach us until we graduated high school and almost college. Way to late by then

[PBandJ_Nerd]

My parents did the same thing. After I graduated high school and was almost 20, they only started to think about talking about dating, sex, etc. with me. I just told them I didn't need to know anything because I was already taught that stuff (by the school, my sister, and myself). I wasn't allowed to date in school, but I still made sure I learned what I needed to know.

[DizzyDesii]

@PBandJ_Nerd i was allowed to date at 14 but yea i didn't have the guts to tell her all the shit i’ve already done and been through. She assumes i did something sexual with someone at 23 which i did but he was not my first so she's like 7 years too late

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Most parents might not hear about their kid's first time, which is normal.

[DizzyDesii]

@PBandJ_Nerd yea but thats not what i mean. I will let her continue to think i didn't lose my virginity until way later in life. The true story would crush her because she would realize she was too hung up on her own relationship to realize what her kid was going through

[Anemone978]

There was quite a few at my school I always thought it was gross when 2 best friends would be pregnant together and think its cute... It's like you just threw your future away with guys who ain't even gonna stay with you... Never understood preghoe's in HS... Dumb as fuck... but what did I expect I want to a delinquent high school.

[EmmaMary]

@anemone978 Gosh... It rather sounds like your school was "breeding like rabbits!" lol

[Anemone978]

@EmmaMary Yeah there was a lot of sex going on hahaha... Even one of my best friends got pregnant in grade 12...

[EmmaMary]

@anemone978 Crikey... Sounds like there was no sex education taught in your school.

[Anemone978]

@EmmaMary No we were taught... we used to even be given free condoms.. I guess it was just a lot of drinking, sex and I think people really thought having a baby was a cute thing they could bring and show at school like a dog or something... they were just dumb LOL

[EmmaMary]

@anemone978 Well thankfully you yourself never followed that downright ridiculous trend.

[Anemone978]

@EmmaMary Yup I stayed a virgin until after high school :) No point in sleeping with teenaged boys they are idiots 😂

[EmmaMary]

@anemone978 Well although I did give myself just a few weeks before my seventeenth birthday, we both made absolutely damn sure (me on BC and my boyfriend wearing a Condom) that hopefully no possible "unplanned accident" was going to occur.

[Anemone978]

@EmmaMary Well that's good you two were safe!

[EmmaMary]

@anemone978 Well it certainly wasn't just for the want of taking every precaution possible, and I've absolutely no regrets whatsoever... Although very sadly the relationship wasn't to last, we are still very good friends to this day, and actually attended each others wedding!

[Bricealan]

@EmmaMary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[EmmaMary]

@Bricealan Just what the hell is this supposed to mean?

[Bricealan]

@EmmaMary I was simply reacting to your comment: Crikey... Sounds like there was no sex education taught in your school. No insult intended.

[Bricealan]

@EmmaMary And also to your comment about 'breeding like rabbits" Please, I meant no insult or intent to be rude.

[EmmaMary]

@Bricealan Thank you for your very kind explanation.

[WonderBell99]

None. Nobody got anybody pregnant in my school. My school and the classes I took were very academic oriented and rigorous. We did not have time for fooling around.

[Adventurer23]

There were a few older girls that were pregnant during my first year, but I never saw them after that. Other than that, getting pregnant didn't seem to be very common during my time at high school.

[WindAtMyBack]

I only know of one for sure. She got married and had a baby while still in high school. Her husband was in the same school. I only barely knew both of them.

Back then "bad girls" might have been hidden away. But even still, I never heard any rumors. If anyone came up missing, it wouldn't have meant anything because there were so many military families in the area who got transferred every couple of years. So students disappearing was normal where I lived.

Most of my time in HS was also before Roe v. Wade, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[DubiousIntentions]

Ho's share and share alike.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There were a few 18 & 19 yr olds that did when I was a senior.

[Venera314]

I don't remember anyone getting pregnant at high school.

[EmmaMary]

@venera314 Neither do I.

[whirled_up_girl]

I think there was about 5 or 6 who got pregnanty in my highschool, and 3 of them were in my class. There was even about 3 girls that got pregnant in my middle school. Our school had sex education too, but teen pregnancy still happened.

[Bricealan]

Hey "Whirled", can't remember if I asked or not, may I put you on my "Follow" list?

[whirled_up_girl]

@Bricealan Sure!

[Bricealan]

Thanks, your replies/questions are ones that I like to see.

[Red_Arrow]

None. I went to an all male high school.

[Sour-rose]

to my knowledge, not many. Many I saw was obviously pregnant, some i heard in the bathroom and some talked about their kids. It was a shock to some that I wasn't preggo, because ya know- asexual.

[summiter]

A few did and they all regretted not using condoms every time

[Apple1996]

So many that there was a pregnancy class.😂 Not judging tho since I was also in this class but some girls were on their 2nd-3rd babies. I was just on my 1st so was still seen as responsible

[SnowedIn]

Maybe 10 throughout our four years of high school.

[OfMiceandMen]

I don't recall seeing anyone with obvious signs, besides it would not be in your best interest to ask. As I recall, High School girls can be seriously nasty sometimes!

[EmmaMary]

I'm pretty sure no girl was, or got pregnant whilst in secondary education (High School).

[NathanDavis]

in my classes none... in the entire school, one girl

[CheeseMonster]

None, but tbf there was only 4 of us.

[AviatorTom]

I went to an all boys HS

[Bricealan]

"Preggo"? Is that like "Leggo"?

If you mean pregnant, ...1 that I know of.

[Agape93]

That I was aware of, 5.

[DJB72]

None, but to be fair it was a boy's school...
