Faking Pregnant Book Report
Faking Pregnant
Nearly 750,000 teenagers get pregnant in a year. In The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez, is a 17 year old girl who decides for her senior project she is going to fake a pregnancy. While only telling a total of 5 people from her school and family. “I’m not surprised. Does she know that she just ruined her life?” (Rodriguez 141); Gaby wanted to hear all of the gossip that would be said about her. I believe this book was written for a good reason, to fight stereotypes and gossip gets around. While reading this small portion of Gaby’s life, I can see that it had made a big impact on her and many other lives. After reading how this book touched the lives of so many; I can say I truly enjoyed reading this book. To begin with, the author does a wonderful job of describing how the teen pregnancy had all …show more content…
started within her family. Her mother had gotten pregnant at age fourteen and being forced to stay with the father, unhappily. Her six older sibling had all either gotten pregnant or had gotten their girlfriends pregnant. “It’s in my genes, I can’t help it,” (Rodriguez 97). Her older sibling had blamed it on the genes for following in their mother and siblings. I believe it shows how Gaby had defeated the odds and made her own path. Reading this shows that you don’t have to be like the people around you.
Lastly, it had shown that all of the gossip people had been saying does come out.
Gaby had heard all of the mean things her classmates and family had been saying about her, her boyfriend, and their “baby”.“Jorge will leave her and then she’ll be stuck with a baby and no one else.” (Rodriguez 198). Gaby had to face these terrible messages and the classmates and family members everyday. I think it was great that I got to read what everyone had said about her behind her back. It shows that what you say, even to someone who you don’t think would tell, they will tell someone. Overall, this book was written with a purpose and Gaby’s senior project had a purpose. Reading this book showed me so many life lessons. For example, one thing is that just because you may have the same genes doesn’t mean you have to follow in their footsteps. You can make your own path through the world. And who you’ve been talking bad about behind their back, they’ll always find out. This book was a joy to read and gives an insight to the life of a high schooler, pregnant or not. I think many would agree with me when I say that this is one of the best books I’ve ever
read.
