Pregnant Girls / Moms

I'm freaking out about people at school finding out i'm pregnant. My bump is getting to be pretty noticable and I can feel people looking at me as I walk the hall ways. I'm not going to try and hide the pregnancy, but I don't know how people will react, and if it's negative how i'm going to take it. Well i'm not the only girl or the first girl to have a baby or be pregnant at my school there has been a couple of girls, well ones which have stayed. Over the last 2 years many girls who are in my year and the year above had dropped out, and many say it's because they were pregnant. So these are the girls who I know at my school who are pregnant or moms. They have their own group, along with girls from two other high schools in the area. My mom has been pushing me to go, but not until i'm further along. I think it will be helpful in a way, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. The girls are;

Moms
Courtney (senior); 1 year old son Caleb
Abigal (junior); couple month old son Luke
Claire (junior); 1 year old daugther Hope and pregnant
Aimee (junior); newborn son Brayden
Ketti (senior); 2 year old daughter Olivia and couple month old daugther Stella
Mandy; (junior); 6 month old daugther Angel
Catylyn (senior);  2 year old daugther Meghan, 1 year old son Noah and newborn daugther Lyla

Pregnant
Claire (junior); due in January
Laura (junior); due December
Santana (sophmore); due March
Auslin (senior); due November
Manda (junior); due January
Me (junior); due May

I think there may be a few other girls who could be pregnant due around the same time as me, but like me they haven't told anyone yet and they are not showing. I'm surely not alone, as you can see. It's not too great a great reflection on our education to see how many girls are mother or pregnant. Whats worst most of them are friends and have been since before they were pregnant and having babies. I know that if one of my friends sturggled trough teen pregnancy and parenthood I would make sure I never had to go through it. I was reading somewhere the other day that 1 in 3 girls in America will have a child before they are 20 years old. Thats a terrible statistic!
