AHS students reacting to the trending subject on twitter.

Beginning September 22, 2017, Kylie Jenner’s recent pregnancy rumors have recently breached Arrowhead High School, sending students into a social media frenzy. Because of her high status in the mobile world and the limitless ways to access social media, students haven’t been able to focus on their work.

There has not been a confirmation for Jenner’s pregnancy, but along with it has come the announcements of her sister, Khloe Kardashian, being pregnant too. The buzz began just days before their documentary, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, begins for their fourteenth season airing September 24th on E!. This has been leaving students, like Arrowhead junior,  Savannah Knaack, wondering if it is simply publicity for the show or the real deal.

“I hear Kylie’s name at least three times a day; it’s all anyone talks about. I’m not even sure if she is pregnant, but I believe her sisters are. She is just so young and her body is perfect and how she makes her money, so it would change a lot. It would be crazy if she was, but I don’t think it’s so important that it’s the topic of every conversation going on around in this school,” says Knaack.

Jenner’s pregnancy rumors began after she posted an Instagram selfie, with what followers thought to be a baby bump prominent on her body. The supposed father is rapper Travis Scott. He has been successful this past year, with his hit song “Antidote” reaching number six on the ‘Billboard Top 10: Rap,’ according to billboard.com.  Scott is 25, leaving a five year gap between him and 20 year old Jenner.

The two have been seen together multiple times from April until now and claim to have been together for five months so far. This relationship had begun almost immediately after Jenner broke up with her and Blanc China’s (her sister in law), ex-boyfriend Tyga, according to dailymail.co.uk.   The two have a combined net worth of 49.1 million dollars, with Jenner carrying most of that with her 41.1 million, according to forbes.com.

Travis (@trvisXX) had also tweeted “Legit happiest day of my life,” the day people speculated that Jenner told him of her expectancy.

Arrowhead senior and football star John Doleschy said, “She is good looking but everything has been handed to her. If she’s pregnant, good for her. If she’s not, it doesn’t actually affect any of us. I get kind of annoyed when I hear girls talking about it.”

The topic has been trending on twitter for nearly two weeks.

The topic hasn’t only affected high schooler students, however, as many celebrities have spoken out as well.

Television host Ellen Degeneres tweeted, “I literally cannot keep up with the Kardashians.”

However, Jenner isn’t the only one rumored pregnant. Degeneres has been known to hold friendships with everyone in the family, especially 33 year old Khloe Kardashian.

Kardashian is currently dating Tristan Thompson, a 26-year-old NBA star. Her pregnancy rumors came about in a similar fashion to Jenner’s, as fans began to talk right after she posted an instagram picture covering up her stomach.

She hasn’t had it easy with pregnancy according to the show. In season 9, it focuses on her inability to get pregnant due to infertility. Her and her husband at the time, Lamar Odom, were upset.

She said back in 2013, “About a year ago, we were like, ‘Let’s just see what happens.’ And then  when it didn’t happen, Kim was like, ‘Let’s go to the doctor.’ I found out I don’t ovulate. My uterus lining isn’t thick enough and I have to take pills to make my uterus lining thicker. If that doesn’t get thicker, then I cannot carry a baby.” (eonline.com)

This raises questions to most skeptics, as it does seem a short time ago.

“I honestly don’t think she’s pregnant,” says Knaack regarding Kardashian. “I would believe her rumours over Kylie’s though, just because of her age. And it’s Kylie Jenner. She takes so much pride in her looks and body.”

Although Scott claims that they pregnancy isn’t planned, according to US weekly, Jenner is thrilled for the surprise baby on the way and to be sharing the experience with her sisters.

“They are looking at it like it’s a unifying experience for them as sisters,” says a source from US weekly. “It was coincidental, but they couldn’t be more stoked.”

As these speculations keep spreading, it is said that Kyle Richards, Kris Jenner’s best friend, has confirmed the pregnancy of the younger daughter.

On an interview with DailyMail.com Richards said, “’Luckily for Kylie, she’s in a financial position where she can also take care of this child and she has an incredible support system with her family, so she’s gonna be fine!”

Arrowhead students going through a similar experience regarding pregnancy can talk to their guidance counselor or local Planned Parenthood facilities.
