Ok i thought it looked strange and that it was not right how they allowed this.
It is one of my sister's friends who is 17 (My sister is 18)
Anyhow the picture is of this pregnant girl holding her belly -looking down at it too and the school took this picture along with a regular pose of her.
I don't know if she asked for that or they asked her to do that but do you honestly think that is right to do?

If you are wondering i think it was and is wrong.

I did not say she should not have her photo taken but i don't think they should have done a whole body shot with her holding to her stomach.
Everyone else's photos where from the chest up.

I see a lot of people saying that it would be cute or why would this be wrong... THE GIRL IS 17 AND PREGNANT and no-one sees a problem w/this.
I think that it is wrong to show it off in a year book, like its an accomplishment. I realize kids are going to do adult things and make bad decisions, but I think that the school is "condoning" these kids actions by glorifying teenage pregnancy.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your feelings. Do you think that showing the girls photo will some how encourage young women to become pregnant? If that is the case you better keep your sister hidden from society because young ladies are pregnant and proud. I don't see why this is a big deal. Is it because she looks happy? Or content? Because she has that right. Why shouldn't she be happy? Would you rather her be angry and unhappy? What good would that do? I'm sorry but I don't get this. Why shouldn't she have her photo taken too?

I don't see a major problem with this.. I understand what your saying. But things happen and you cant change the fact that she is pregnant... At least she is staying in school... More power to her, so many people look down on pregnant teens, i think that it is wrong.. A teenager who is pregnant has to go through more things then a married mother has to.. So she is proud of her belly most pregnant women are... maybe she asked them to take that picture... oh well life goes on, don't worry so much about her problems and her life.. focus on yours...

I don't see what is wrong with someone over the age of consent being pregnant- its her choice, atleast she isn't 14, and i'm gladshe's proud of it and hopefully looking after herself and her growing baby.
I had maternity photography done when I was pregnant (i was 24 though) and alot ofpeople (such as my mum) thought it a little strange, i think the older generation found pregnancy something tohide, such as wearing big tent-like frocks, but fortunately women can now be proud of their pregnancy. I loved my body when I was pregnant and wanted to show it off. I think perhaps this girl feels like this.

If it is a photo for the yearbook then it should be just a standard shoulder shot.The photo is to recognize her as a student not a mom to be.I think that a picture showing the connection between mom and child is heart warming I don't think it is yearbook material.On a positive note I'm glad to see she is finishing he education .

I don't know...if she asked for it, I guess it was ok, but I see where you're coming from. It kind of sends the wrong message to the other kids that go to the school, like her picture in there will give the other students the idea that it's socially accepted and may be a little more open to the idea of having a baby that young as well.
I know my old school wouldn't have done that, so all-in-all, no, they shouldn't have given her special treatment.

It depends on the reason the picture was taken. If they took it of her to make an example out of her then definitely wrong. Otherwise, hard to say. If she was willing to pose for it also then there must not have been any wrong doing.....unless they didn't tell her.

i can see why people would not want it- they would consider it to be a bad example for their children. However- they see her in school- and it's just a fact of life. She is pregnant. Many people have made bad decisions in life- and unlink pregnancy- nobody can see it. It's not right to judge her or cast her out because of it. I see nothing wrong with the picture.

what was the photo used for?
If she asked for it, it doesn't seem like a problem to me.. I mean, yeah she's young, but pregnancy is a beautiful thing. I don't think she should feel shameful for it, even being so young! I think it was a good thing for the high school to not make her feel ashamed of her pregnant body. so many young pregnant women drop out of school because of the embarrassment, and it looks like her school knows better than to encourage her to feel ashamed.. ;)

if this was a "hey look, it cool to be knock-up pose" then we can probably figure out why it's so acceptable for teenage pregnancies and their alarming rates. thanks yearbooks!!! and all this is said in sarcasm people. i think schools are a big part of the problem. shame on them!
