Prom Mom

True story: In 1997, a high school senior named Melissa Drexler gave birth to a baby in the bathroom during prom, left it in the trash can dead, and went back to the prom to request "Unforgiven" by Metallica and continue partying. It was a huge story in the news for a while back in '97.

Apparently, there's debate as to whether the Metallica song detail is true or not, but what people really never knew is that the baby was actually born as a full sized teenage girl. Here's an actual true photo from the birth:

ok thats horrible... this was a big deal and shouldnt be joked about. she obviously had no other options and was desperate... you guys should have a little bit more sympathy for her. she was clearly stuck in a place that she had no idea how to get out of...
