E-PrinceAfter graduating from high school in 2005, Adelle Lykes-Kim ’11 deferred her admission to Princeton for two years and moved to Korea. She chose this path not to acquire a new language or to immerse herself in a new culture ...(back to the article)

wow. they just can't use condoms. didn't u take health in hs?
Really impressive stories and a pretty good article. To the poster above, condoms sometimes fail (didn't they teach YOU that in high school) and not everyone personally wants an abortion, even if conception was accidental. Also, had you read the article more closely, you would have noticed that one of the two students featured was married beforehand.
condoms break, anon-douche.
great article
fascinating article!
by deduction, anon must be class of 2011
C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!
anon,
People with small-minded mentalities like you are part of the reason why many women who get pregnant in college either do not return or do not follow through with their pregnancies. I am one of the women featured in this article and I must say that your comment does not make me feel bad in the least. If I had the opportunity to turn back the hands of time and do this all over again, I definitely would. I wouldn't change a thing. By the way, to answer your question YES I did learn health in school. However, another thing I also learned from a very young age was TOLERANCE for everyone's particular choice of lifestyle. I think maybe you missed that lesson in life, though it's never too late :)
Luckily your views, as I have personally come to realize, do not reflect the sentiment of the Princeton University community as a whole. Princeton administration and faculty, University Health Services, current students, and alumni have been awesome in dealing with this situation.
Amazing article. I'm impressed. Not everyone has the inner strength to be able to balance two worlds at once.
Although it is wise to make the best of a bad situation, the impact of this on the child deserves more consideration. Some feminists put their own needs and wants first, middle and last; it is all about them. Tolerance for other "choices" notwithstanding, we can respectfully raise the question of what is in the best interest of those who have no choice in the matter: infants and children growing up without their mothers for much of their early years.
@ChildrenFirst -- I would respectfully argue that what's in the best interest of the child is to have an educated mother who can provide for that child. I would also respectfully question whether you would have the same reaction to a male student who had fathered a child. Would you also accuse a father of putting his needs "first, middle and last" if he chose to continue his Princeton education?
