Banning regrettable pictures from a yearbook would turn it into a pamphlet.
at one time High School was considered a significant life event, of epic proportions, suitable for memorializing in a book. Now, no so much...
Because selfies of a baby bump will be much more regrettable than actually having a child to take care of.
