I'm not that old, I'm 22. :P
Also, you live in Socal. The movie takes place in the midwest. A high school in southern california is VERY different from a midwestern high school. Two completely different cultures. The west coast is basically a totally different country from the rest of the US. If you saw a movie about my high school experience you'd probably say "I don't know anybody who talks like the teenagers do in that movie."
Also, the scope of the pregnancy isn't important. The pregnancy was more of a plot device than anything else.
The whole quirky vs normal people and quirky vs normal enviroment thing boggles me. People are quirky and environments are quirky. A quirky environment is one that contains quirky people. A small midwestern town is a perfect environment for that. Appearances aren't everything.
"The weirder you are going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three of four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person."
