She's a good kid who made a stupid mistake and is still in shock over the whole thing. Trust me when I say these kids AND teachers are not going to be as understanding as we are; they will be the exact opposite. Her sister came home from school yesterday saying how HORRIBLE the kids were to her about her sister and how she's glad she's not the one pregnant. She said she HOPES her sister doesn't finish out the year at school because of how awful everyone's going to be.

That all said, she DOES have enough credits to graduate if thats what the school decides to do. We are going to ask for at-home school work where teachers send everything to us and even come over once a week to work with her. They've done that for other girls. Hubby said it was then up to her if she wanted to march down the aisle for a diploma as a 9 month pregnant girl. If she does, she has more guts than I do!
Well, if she just started showing at 7 months, and they wear the traditional caps and gowns for graduation, it wouldn't probably be as obvious - those gowns hide everyone's "figure," for better or worse!
