Pregnot-- Toppenish High student fakes pregnancy as social test about stereotypes, rumors.
Gaby Rodriguez would worry whenever anyone asked to touch her baby bump.Gaby spent her entire senior year doing a project on what it is like to become a teen mom, and how it affects other people's perceptions of you. The article is fascinating, the comments at the end reveal a lot more. I hope she did a very good job with documentation of this, because I could easily see her getting a thesis out of this experience in a few years.
It wasn't because she felt shy or embarrassed. It was because the bulge -- fashioned from wire mesh and cotton quilt batting -- didn't actually contain a baby.
