from an article about getting pregnant......

She had to move away.

“I didn’t finish school. …You see, when you get pregnant they throw you out of school and
you can’t make no kind of life for yourself. … To think of it after I got older, that was
kind of cruel. A 15-year-old girl! And they don’t blame the man, you know. They just
blame the woman.”
