Speak Out: Teen Mom Unable to Have Pic with Son in Yearbook

Should teen parents be allowed to have yearbook pictures with their children?

A North Carolina high school senior was unable to have a pic of her son and her in her yearbook, Live 5 News reported.

The picture of the two of them was reported "pulled" from final publication. The teen mom chose to take her son with her when the school asked seniors to bring a "prop" that best represents them. 

“He helped me get to where I am today,” the mother told Fox North Carolina's WGHP. “I wouldn’t be the person I am today without him.”

She told the station that after her son's birth, she worked harder in school, graduated early and is now taking college courses.

School officials have said the yearbook should be about the student and not his or her family.
