The theory behind this is that when young females form friendships together and one of the group gets pregnant, others in the group also end up wanting to get pregnant and often do get pregnant. So, the idea is that if the pregnant girl is removed from the group, maybe the rest of the group will not be so influenced to also get pregnant. Now, this sounds stupid but there is some truth to it. One example that comes to mind is that many many years ago when I was a teen ager this was a common practice in the USA, only the pregnant girl would still receive private lessons so she could still graduate. Back then the rate of girls getting pregnant while still in school was much lower than today when they do not make the pregnant girls attend separate classes. So, the school officials do have your best interests at heart.
