I just watched this movie on Lifetime. It's about a girl whose mother raises her baby at home while she goes to school. I cried so much during this, especially at the ending. I don't know what I would do if I was pregnant. I like to think I'd be strong enough to give my child a better life by giving him or her to a loving family that could give more support than I could. I never want to have to make that decision, though. But my heart goes out to those women who do. Has anyone else seen this movie?

I have seen it. great movie! I became a mom at 16! it was very tough and if I could reach just one girl to prevent it from happening to them it would be worth it. don't get me wrong now. I love my daughter very much. it just was not easy and no I didn't finish school. was many years ago when you didn't dare go to school pregnant.

There was another movie back in 2007 called Juno with Ellen Page .
She was only 16 also. Good movie.

heh, I'm already past 16 even though I don't feel like it (and I graduated high school) so I don't have to worry so much, apparently there are a lot of 10th grader's in my old school that are pregnant this year, one of them had a baby earlier when she was in 8th grade. Crazy stuff!

My brother and I like to watch the series Teen Mom, which is a sequel to the series 16 and pregnant on MTV. There is another season of 16 and pregnant (staring new girls) coming soon.
Thanks for this!

I was a Dad at 16, she was 18, 37 years later we are still together.

I became a Pop-Pop at 39.

In case you are wondering....no, she wasn't pregnant when we got married.
