My students seem to all know this information about me and they are talking. When I was talking with one of my co workers she said that she heard them asking my neice(who is one of my students) if I was prego. They are saying that I am single and pregnant (which is true because i had a sperm donation transplant) I'm not sure now what to do because they are talking about me and saying that I had sex and was drunk and got "nocked up!" I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!!!!!! help!!!!

Honestly...they're 8th graders. Who gives a flying you-know-what about what they think? It's your business and there's no need for you to explain jack to them. I also don't think too many of those kids' parents would appreciate you talking about your artificial insemination. So just don't worry about it, they're children.

Uh, before you go off and explain your medical procedure, you might want to visit with the administration. If you thought that as a single woman, 8th grade kids wouldn't speculate on your pregnancy I think you may be been naive. Kids speculate on EVERYTHING. Use the rumor mill to your advantage, tell your fellow teachers and let them spread the word. Once a few students hear the truth, it will likely spread faster than mono.

 You cannot control what people think or want to say .You could correct the misconceptions about your pregnancy by telling the truth to them and leave it like that.
Whether they want to believe you or not is not for you to decide. You have done your part and just smile and ignore all those gossips and untruths. It will go away after sometime.

 I think that you should explain the whole procedure to the class as a health lesson. That way at least they will have the right information and there is nothing you could say to them that would be offensive since now you know what runs through their minds. Its the only thing I can really think that would be affective and if it continues then they will have the proper information anyway and you can then punish the ones who continue. Make them do an assignment on it or something.
Hope it works out and I wish you and your baby all the best.
