My student got pregnant and cried when I offered her a tissue

It’s not weird to cry when a teacher gives you a tissue, right?<br><br>I was subbing my own class (I cried) and a girl had stomach pains that came on gradually. She thought it was cramps and I said something like “You can go to the bathroom, if you think it’s your period then there’s tampons AND pads AND a hot water bottle. Do you want a stomach medicine? I have aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen”.<br><br>I set a timer for 5 minutes and told her to let me know when it went off so I wouldn’t forget.<br><br>I set a timer for myself for 15 minutes to check on her.<br><br>When the timer went off a few minutes later I went to the bathroom. I work with 19-21 year olds. She was sitting on the toilet crying. She had a pregnancy test in the toilet, with 2 red lines. I asked her if she was sure she was pregnant and she said she had been worried that her period was so late.<br><br>The only thing I had for her that might help was a tissue. I offered it to her and she cried harder. I said, “Sorry it’s not a Kleenex.”<br><br>She cried more.
