not really a question..

I just started school again on Monday. I feel like the outcast since I'm 28 weeks pregnant. My belly is showing but not huge. I just feel like I don't belong and worry what everyone is going to say when they find out because I've always been the honors student and quiet in class. I just want to feel comfortable again. I used to love school now I don't..and telling my teachers on the 3rd day of school, not really knowing them is going to be so hard. I want to be able to wear what i want and not worry about what people say..

Yeah I see what both of you are saying. Its just hard because I'm a junior in high school and don't know my teachers at all..I was going to tell my teachers today though. I'm just not going to hide it anymore I love my baby boy (: thank you both. & MommyOfMandA wow its the opposite for me..it was easier telling my family but that's good you told your teachers easily! I think your family would be more understanding now since this is would be the third time telling them. (:

DEFINITELY don't hide the pregnancy, at all, ever. Fir all the reasons MommyOf said

Plus, it's best for your teachers to know in case an emergency or something happens in class, or you have to miss time because of appointments. Also, in science classes, you may have to deal with chemicals so your teachers need to know you can't breathe in any fumes. I think you will feel better after telling them too because you won't be nervous about trying to hide it all the time.

I just started my fourth year of college on Monday and I'm 20 weeks and showing. Funny thing is, I already told all my teachers and actually wasn't nervous at all, yet I still haven't told my family. I guess it's because the teachers are probably not going to say anything negative to your face but my family has been upset when I told them I was pregnant the first and second time although I was married. As far as being the outcast, I know where you're coming from. I don't have one friend, in school or not, so I'm used to people treating me differently and it s ucks but the people in your school might be like that if you are pregnant or not. Unfortunately they are going to find out eventually, if they don't already guess it, so you might as well tell everyone.

That's how I felt too but now I do care..i guess its because with all my crazy hormones I don't wanna snap at someone and get into trouble. But I guess I just shouldn't listen to what people say (: I have the same friends as i did since I was little and there's only a few. The only person I really have at my school is my boyfriend. Do you think I should stop trying to hide my pregnancy?

Best way to not care what people think is to not listen to what they say. I was always the weirdo and the outcast. I had 3 friends from grade 9 to grade 12 at my school, and I was perfectly content. I just didn't care what other people had to say about me, because they didn't know me. Which gave them no place to have an opinion.
