PHOENIX - What do you think of student who faked a pregnancy just to see how her community would react?
Gaby Rodriguez, 17, was able to pull one over on her entire school, and even her brothers and sisters, thanks to a fake belly.
The only people who knew the truth included her mom, her boyfriend, and her principal who approved the project.
What was the point? Gaby wanted to see how people reacted to teen pregnancy in her community.
Gaby plans to share her findings with a community board in hopes that teens that really do get pregnant are treated better than she was.
