Now that took some metaphorical balls to pull off.

Damn, that is a pretty crazy thing to do it the name of research. You also have to wonder if any of the teachers that might have treated her differently will be looked at after this has come to light.

I agree with the OP. That took courage and skill.

I wonder how that will impact her relations from now on.
She just proved more than capable of fooling her teachers and probably most of the school.
It's like attaching yo your forehead a big glowing sign saying "I'm a very good actor". People will act much more suspiciously with her from now on.

It will definetly be another interesting subject for the next study. :mrgreen:

I find issue with the fact that she found issue that people thinking teen pregnancy is ruins your life. Out of all the things said I thought that was the least thing to find issue with. I have a feeling that she's anti-abortion.

Poison them, probably; she was lying for months and people won't forget that. And it probably did serious damage to the relationship between her boyfriend and his parents since she apparently got him to go along with her and lie to them about it.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

I took me three tries to get what you said. :wink:
I got the idea from the video that she took more issue from the strong and definite reaction other people had about her ruining her life. As opposed to the actual idea of having ruined your life due to pregnancy.

I don't know if her relation with her schoolmates will be ruined. But they will probably be a lot more suspicious about anything that happens to her from now on.

btw, could she be related to the principal (same last name). and if so, would that have influenced his decision about her study?
