Unfortunately it happens a lot. Most of my former peers know that I have a kid but I still get the "Is that your kid?" question a lot if I run in to them around town (I haven't seen them in over a decade, they just know through Facebook and word of mouth mostly).  

There's a lot of rumors that fly around, especially at high school. And a lot of high school kids don't know much about pregnancy or have that great a sense of decent amounts of time. So while it's only been a few months, in the rumor mill and for most high school kids it feels like a lot longer. He may very well have heard that you'd already had your child or were close to, via that rumor mill months ago, not the truth that you're just barely pregnant now.

Yeah I know which is why I posted this, because I am really scared to go back to school all of a sudden when a couple of hours ago I was excited...

It just hurts that I will be treated badly for something that won't be affecting anyone of them.

I mean even on here I get attacked and treated like shit when I haven't done anything to anyone. I am not picking on anyone here? And yet everyone has nothing but shitty stuff to say to me.

Is that the only school you can go to? I don't think I could've gone back to public school pregnant. I went to a really nice alternative school that was for young mums and then to a generalized alternative school. It's a lot smaller, people keep to themselves, there's people of all ages. It's a lot nicer than public school. If you can find one, I'd really suggest you check it out.

If you don't want me to ever respond to you, then I won't. But you might consider that I have a little bit of experience when it comes to pregnancy and rumours and taunts in the hall way. If you want to waste your time and energy worrying about what assholes say to you, then go right ahead. But pretty soon you're not going to have time and energy to waste, and then you'll be wondering why you suffered the way you are when you could feel so much more happy and confident and free by just acting like idiots don't exist. By just giving people the benefit of the doubt and not overreacting. You'll save yourself a lot of bullshit, and have more time to enjoy who does treat you well and what is going right in your life.
