Teenage Pregnancy High School for most students meant, Where ' s the party Friday night? , 1 wonder if I will get asked to the prom? and I need to go shopping; I ' m so bored with my clothes. But not all students worried just about these things. Some stu- dents had other responsibilities which occupied their titne. Stu- dents who were married and or pregnant had a completely dif- ferent experience in high school. Thoughts for these students ranged from My husband wife doesn ' t want me to go out to- night Who will take care of the baby when I ' m in school? to 1 hope 1 have enough money for food and diapers. Teenage marriage and preg- nancies were much more com- mon in high schools than most students realized. Unfortunately these students had many obstacles to face. But one of the hardest for teenage parents was other students. Stu- dents who had never been in that situation or close to it really couldn ' t grasp what these stu- dents went through. Instead of adjusting to the sit- uation some students liked to tease, but a lot of the time their teasing was perceived as harass- ment. One student this year knew how the teasing could hurt. Sen- ior, Ann Aldrich was married on October 19, 1987. Even though Ann had been married for several months, nasty remarks still fol- lowed her every day. I don ' t care about what people say because I ' m happy, I also want to say I was married before I got pregnant, said Ann. One couple who managed to stay in school were Cano and Lissa Rojas who married on August 23, 1986. Cano and I were planning to get married in August of 1987, but it got moved up a year. We are really happy, no thanks to a lot of people and their remarks, said Lissa. Their daughter, Carissa Marisela Rojas, was born on No- vember 28, 1986, and Cano could only reply, You bet she ' s a dad- dy ' s girl. Young marriages didn ' t always mean children. Sophomore, Pam Walker, was married as a fresh- man on March 28, 1987 to Bill Walker, a 28 year old construc- tion worker. Pam said, I don ' t regret anything; I am really happy and I love it! by Lissa Rojas personal utst ' wna How do you feel about people who are married and or preg- nant in the school? I don ' t look down on people who are married or pregnant in school. I feel it ' s a matter of life and these people have a lot of courage to be able to handle the social pressure. Every situation is different. — Tiffany Green, 10 If the people in school are ready to have children, then I think it is fine. If they are ir- responsible, then I think they bet- ter think twice. It is up to them and it is nobody ' s business. The only way I would think it is wrong is when the couple doesn ' t love each other. 12 Kim Durfee, I think they are foolish! They have ruined the rest of their lives. They should not grow up so fast. When you ' re 16, 17, or 18 years old, you still have the rest of your life to get married or to have kids. Why they want them both so soon in their lives, I ' ll never know. — Susan Gregg, 12 The happy couple, Pam and Bill smile and pose for pictures, just after the wedding ceremony ends. While upset daughter Carissa gets baptized on her first birthday, Cano and Lissa stand and listen to the priest speak. 34
