First time I watched this I was 17yrs old and had just had my first baby. It hit in a whole different way. Just found it here again and that baby is now 16yrs old and its hitting in a brand new way. As a teen mum, and as a mum of a teen now, I still think this movie should be played in high schools as part of the sex education program. It doesnt glorify the situation in any way, but did a good job of displaying the harsh realities involved with having a baby this young and the consequences of sex
@@papabikontor7001if she can trick him to keep it she can take care of it by herself. She is trash. If a guy tricked a girl into getting pregnant and everyone gaslit her and said “ThErE wAs No PaCk” everyone would be pissed. It’s wrong period so let her deal with the consequences.
A few pieces of advice - Don't let just any guy get you pregnant, and make sure you're both in a good position financially and psychologically to support yourselves and a child.
“You have to decide if you wanna be uncomfortable for a couple of minutes or extremely uncomfortable for 9 months” This part needs to be told to people today 💯
I agree 100> Those words stuck in my head. Im a mom to 4 daughters, 7,8,15 turning 16 in a month and 25. I am always having the talk and realized it needed to be talked about sooner than later because our young teens are active in sexual activity at such a young age today. I told my daughters so far two of them that please come to me when you feel your ready and I will make that appt at the family planning in our city to talk about birth control and condoms to keep them safe from stds. I got pregnant at 18 and had my first at 19 and luckily had already graduated H.S. but I still didnt have my life together. No college education, no career. Still living at home. I came to that realization and it was extremely hard. Thats why my 2 oldest are 10 years apart. I knew I wanted more children but it wasnt fair to them to bring them into this world if I was going to struggle to feed and cloth them. I know young teens have their heads in the clouds when it comes to having a baby and raising them. These tv shows like 16 and pregnant also dont show the true reality of motherhood either. Those shows glorify and get the teens wishing they could be in the spotlight. We need parenting classes and more health and sex education in all schools. Also dare programs and not in just kindergarden or elementary. it needs to be in highschool and for mandatory for every student.
I watched this at 12 years old. And just found it again at 16. I saved it and decided that for my own self I would watch it at least once a year. And do believe it should be played in high schools.
Yeah, it should. Honestly just to show the reality of it. Sometimes things might go great and you can still go to school. Other times, that doesn't work out.
My mother had me when she was 16 and I made her a grandmother when she was 34. That is too young to try to spend time with grandchildren when her career was just starting. I think back on how crazy that is. I was not ready to be a mom at 18.
@@lolacole5653well the saying goes the younger the mother the younger the grandmother. My friend had her baby at 13 Even though her mother had her at 20. So my friend is now a grandmother we are both almost 34 years old well I'm about to be 34 next month. Her granddaughter is 6. While I have a nine-year-old son. So her granddaughter and my son are growing up together which is awesome.
I'm married year ago ,now pregnant at the age of 30 after.this is my first baby. and i feel like now I'm at this stage of life when I have done my education and gained some experience in my feild. I'm ready for kids responsibility. also able to manage my husband's things and give full care and attention to my home too. its very important topic to discuss with them. every teenager needs to guide about this.
I'm 30 too lmfao and GIRL I AM NOT READY!!!! Y'all must be rich lmaaaooooooo I never had a baby yet and tbh I don't know if I'll be ready on time lol I mussi gin have my baby at 45 HA lmfaooooooo
Having a baby is a huge deal/life changing! People nowadays treat children as if they’re just cute little accessories to flaunt around, but it’s much more than that. Once you’re a parent you’re a parent for life that YOU are responsible for taking care of. Plus in this economy how in the hell can anyone afford to have kids?
Brother... people have been having kids forever obviously. If there's not enough money for each of them to have their own tablets and Pampers diapers, they'll still make it on a wing and a prayer.
This was an heartfelt movie, however this movie have to take into consideration, that the last statements in this show can encourage someone who is pondering if they should get pregnant, to actually doing it. I just want to say to any female pondering or longing to get pregnant, to think about lives being taken, rather than the birth of a precious newborn. As rightly said, A baby is a gift from God. How better to honour that gift when you can financial, emotionally, physically and mentally care, nurture, guide and grow *life* . Wait until *you* are able to give that beautiful soul, gift, precious baby *the world* . You wait to give that child even more than you can imagine for yourself, even more love that you can every dream of.
This movie got me crying from start to finish. It’s making me think of how am I going to prevent my kids in the near future (9 year old boy, 5 year old girl and 2 yr old boy) from making such decisions. Being a pastor’s wife must not put me on the high horse like Sarah’s mom. Lord help us.
Show them love, encourage their individual interests, listen to them, and be an actively present and reliable person in their lives and they'll make smart and safe decisions for themselves later.
The problem is when a teenager has idea like Sarah it's not something that's can go away easily. I always wanted to be a mom since I was 15 and I always tried to be pregnant. I finally have a baby at 31 but it could be at 15. And like Sarah I just wanted to have a child and this idea never went away. So when you have this kind of obsession and unfortunately you have bad influence it just makes things worse
@smarlieaugustin3768 i was a teen mum with the same mentality. Does not mean I was at all privy to seeing or knowing the reality. All I had to go off was what my married parents said, and they had me in their 30s, so I'm my teen brain they didn't understand. If I had a teen parent there to explain the reality of being a teen parent to me, I may have reconsidered, or at least re-evaluated my "plan" (there was no plan, I wanted to be a mum and have a baby, all realistic approaches or thoughts were non existent). It won't stop or change all teen pregnancy, but that input can absolutely make many kids (boys and girls) think before they do
Well don’t overthink it and don’t manifest it so in a way don’t think about this and educate your kids when having sex as a bigger problem isn’t having a baby it’s catching a big disease than many can’t get rid off and more to be added on the list. Just got to teach them that having a baby isn’t the best thing to do when you are young and if they are going to be active to always use protection don’t be scared to talk to ur kids about sex bcs that’s very important you don’t want them to be clueless and lost about such a big subject. Have to remind them a baby requires big responsibility and lots of money and attention, they should always focus on school and what they want to be after school. No matter what happens they have a big support and that’s you, even if they mess up you have to love your kids with all the craziness that might come ♥️
My first at 15 I lost him .. then my bf. I made a pact to myself to only get pregnant when I find a good man who would step up, and that I’d be a great mom to and be able to financially care aswell,I could alway care for a baby but those were my hardest feelings about it all. I’m glad I waited. I had my daughter at 28 and my son at 30. Couldn’t be happier. I do still think of them, I miss them dearly but that’s just what happened I guess, I needed to learn. This movie should definitely be played in schools .
Yes! I didn't want a kid as a teen under 18, but I did want a partner. I felt so sad and started looking for love from 18 on because my dad wasn't a constant fixture in my life
Where in this whole movie did you come up with that assumption??🤦🏼♀️🙄 😂 They had plenty of love. They just had their head in the clouds and thought it was gonna just be a big slumber party all the time with their kids. Watch it again and pay attention
The girl of restaurant owner was more afraid and concerned about what her friends were doing and decided to use a baby to trap her boyfriend because she was more worried that he was going to graduate and leave her. She was living in a fictional world about what their life was going to be after getting pregnant and not caring about what he wanted in anyway. They all had this made up version of what their lives were going to be and not living in reality in anyway. Not thinking about what their lives were going to truly be like…the consequences and what it would mean to have to actually rise and take care of another life.
@@whitleyfreet9222i think there speaking as of reality … Bcs In real life a lot of Teenagers are trying too get pregnant too feel that unconditional love
Back when I was in High School from 2017-2021 I had insane baby fever and my fiancé and high school lover knew how crazy I was for a baby but growing up I realized how hard it is to raise a child on your own. I got pregnant at 18 and had my first born and she’s now a year old and I’m expecting my second with my fiancé and we both were so happy we didn’t decide to try for a baby during our teenage years. I do believe every high school should play this movie to teach younger women and men about the consequences and seriousness of what comes with a baby involved.
Wanting a baby as a teenager these girls have no idea what they are in for. Sure babies are cute and lovable but its A LOT of responsibility! I had my first at 16....it changes your life completely!
Well, the first who got pregnant was literally like: "Imma be new Jamie Lynn Spears.", which a bit later would be "Imma be new Kylie Jenner." (i didn't hear any recent teen celebrity getting pregnant, and even Kylie waited to finish highschool). Also, we have some representation of heroic and cool teen moms like Lorelei Gilmore who made it on their own (I guess that's your story, and even if you had the baby daddy here, it's even better, the two of you deciding to own it and make family work is cute and totaly anti normalizing high body counts as highly pornographic shows do, which has a result of makeing teens thinking they should act upon hormones in order to be cool, the recent movie trope of "I waisted my teens being a nerd" not helping either). Also, the red haired girl (I think Sarah, I am kinda bad with names) shows another possible reason. The society kinda shuns the housewives as lazy or weak minded and submissive (my grandma who was a housewife was neither, she kept grandpa in check when he did stupid things, he quit binge drinking because of her), while some girls just want to make their family their work. So this could be sort of teenage rebellion gone wrong. Those three things, the celebs, movies and some act of conservative rebelion, make kids not have the reality check about teen pregnancy they think is cool.
@@ElizabethYuen-rx9xo Hope it also is or becomes rewarding. Because you are no longer minor you don't need to please anyone, you did adulting and had kid, the way you care about it doesen't have to please a single person except the one you care about -don't ever listen to the others who judge your parenting-as you said, it's hard, so there is no one fix way to do it. If you make mistakes, it's just normal, this shit is learned as it goes, and requires more dedication and effort than the hardest job. I am with you and all the new parents. Best luck to you and your spouse, and may you and your kid always be happy.
@marijajanicijevic8211 They are still minors, teen parents or no, until they are 18. That is what the law says. Being as they are minors, them having babies affects several people, so they should listen to others.
Watching this movie has made me appreciate and love my mom even more than i already do. My mom had me at 19 and my brother at 15. She has always shown me my whole life that if i ever have questions about anything in the world she'll do her best to answer them and if she can't to look it up. At the age of 2 years old she said i asked her what was the blood in her panties and the pad she was throwing away. And right then and there she gave me the lesson of what periods were and pads were at the age of 2 years old. And later at the age of 8 years old when she knew it was time i would be starting mine. All my life i always had questions about anything and my dad would be shy about it and avoid it and my teachers scolded me and said thats inappropriate to ask. But my mom was always straightforward with it and never hesitated to answer my questions. At the age of i think 11 or 12, i asked what flavored condoms were because i seen it in a fanfic. My dad was there and was mad i asked about it. But my mom told me what they were for which then made me ask what bj's were and she answered that too and again i was young to know about it. And my dad was mad she answered the condom question and told me what bj's were. He was mad she had the sex talk with me and i was in the 3rd grade. But my mom always told him that if she didnt answer the questions that i could or would go out and learn on my own what the answer is. To which later on she told me it was because kids as young as 5th and 4th graders were having sex and she wanted me to be prepared and think for myself. Everyone always gets mad about her telling me things at a young age but she always said shes my first teacher and that if she didnt teach me then no one would. Knowing all this has made me love my mom so much and has shown me that nothing i say will ever turn her away or make her mad.
When a child knows enough to ask questions, they're old enough for an honest, age-appropriate answer. Sounds like your mom had the right idea and good intentions - good on her for fostering open communication! ❤
I was a teen mom . I was lucky to have a school i could go to and graduate. There was a daycare. Or id been screwed. I graduated a year early. I remember hearing 3 girls while in a bathroom stall literally screeching on how they couldnt wait to have babies to " dress up" and "play with together" like they were dolls, toys. I on the other hand hadnt slept more then a hour for weeks, i was speechless , i didnt plan mine , but they seemed to already have. So crazy .. 2010 was a teen baby boom
You know what they never show in the movies. Real labour. How it's not laying down, how you're on all fours, how it's too late for pain meds and how after the birth of baby you need to birth the placenta, nobody talks about passing the placenta 😂
Right. And hypnobirthing is never mentioned or water birth at home the normal natural way. It's brainwashing people into over medicalising...which actually causes problems and unnecessary interventions. Its gross. Patriarchal system. Gross.
I was in my back when I gave birth. But yes, also on all fours when labouring. Birth is nothing like the movies. And we should tell people how it really is
Right! My placenta ripped so the Dr had to scrape it out and I was in so much pain screaming like I never had before and my husband said I bleed so much he was scared he was gonna lose me. My experience makes me so nervous to get pregnant again.
The only thing ths movie missed is including miscarriage infant loss still birth , being a teen and going through that is the opposite of teen pregnancy ur heart broken to young to understand the full extent of trauma that’ll follow u to adult hood & it’s like u don’t get to grieve meanwhile others are punished for having a baby , love this movie Ill never forget going home & watching this after I lost my first baby ❤
I know that feeling all too well in life. Your comment speaks volumes to teen issues in general. Being traumatized at that age, and not being able to process it fully to heal.
I think my son was 4 years old when the story came out out in the news. I was 23 at the time but had my son at 19. This movie is one of my fav lifetime movies
I remember watching this when I was 16 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I couldnt think of the name of the movie, I was surfing youtube then boom. Here is it. Thank you so much for the upload. Brings so much memories!!
When i was a teen i was convinced i was going to be a young mother. I never tried to get pregnant, but i had insane baby fever and was doing lots of "practice". Now, at 28 and married, i still dont have a kid and unsure if i ever want to. Im so glad i didnt end up pregnant and in a position i would regret in the future.
I had mine just after i matriculated; it was so difficult having to go through the pragnacy by myself. My boyfriend then was 3 years older than me and i was 18 then. He got arrested when i was 6 months and got out when my daughter was 5; then he got arrested agian and his in prison and my dsughter is turning 16 this year. It was not an easy journey and i thank God for giving me strength to raise her. If i had a chance to go back i would do things differently. I love my baby girl i wouldn't tread her for nothing.
This was a great movie and all teenagers should sit down and watch this movie cause it's a lot of lessons from this movie... Keep communicating open with your children and stop thinking it can't happen in your house cause it could if you don't have a open mind... Save yourself and your future children from a lot of pain by having a close mind and communication with your family... 1:26:08
It was selfish for his girlfriend to think he would stay for her and never stop to think how it might affected their future. While her dream was to be a mum, his were to go to college, maybe develop a career and then start a family. None of those plans seem to register in her mind.
For real she kept moaning about what she wanted while just ignoring his and then pretty much tried chaining him to her. She didn’t even care enough to stop drinking
Yet you people mucked Jehovah witness call us boring. I don't care get mad all you want I will say it again . Wait until marriage to have sex. We don't have this problem at a jehova witness house hold.
My mom was pregnant with me in the 2000's at 16 and ended up having me at 17 with very little help of my father because of the terms they were on. Ik it was hard for her though she doesn't speak of it too often since I'm older, I'm aware it was one of the the things she wished she wouldn't have done but she's also made me aware she doesn't regret it. And growing up even as a child I knew teen pregnancy wasn't something to not be looked up upon. I enjoy movies on sensitive topics like these just to make me grateful i have yet to or never go through that. My mom ended up finishing high school with the help of my family watching me after and while she went, she just never finished college. We live a nice average life now I have 2 wonderful brother's a nice house an amazing step-father but I know this is not the case for all teen mothers. So I'm glad movies like this one and Juno and many more show the different emotions and perspectives of how teen pregnancy can re-direct a young girls life
Wait, why doesn't the movie show everything that comes with being pregnant? This movoe is glorifying pregnancy. Pregnancy is awful for some women. Morning sickness (which is not just throwing up ONE time), swollen ankles, shortness of breath, growing pains, back pains, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, not to mention the potential of freaking DYING during birth! NONE of these girls showed that.
Also, they should have a program taking the girls window shopping for baby supplies and how expensive they are… same program should have them spend time with colicky babies while having no sleep….and time with preschool children who are super naughty!! Editing to add…. they should have to spend at least one time in an actual delivery room
Maybe because nobody from Gloucester wanted to be involved. The film producer legit just made up the entire movie. It might be “based on a real event” but the fact is nothing in this movie is FACTS!
When l was 27, l had a friend who was about to be a grandmother at 36! I remember my ex husband (who was 28) telling me he couldn’t imagine being a grandfather in the next 8 years
Same happened in my family. A cousin had her kid really young and now she's a grandma at 36. I am the same age and had my last baby. I couldn't imagine being a grandma at this age. Love my kids and one day I hope to be a grandma but I am ok with them waiting until they are older.
I'm a dy-ke so I'm never ready to be a grandmother. And never will be because I don't have kids. :-D This is why the LGBT culture is "pushed." Because the world is over-populated. Not our fault. Just sayin.' I like dolls but I can't stand kids.
My mother was 17 when she had me and grandmother @40 and 42. I was 23 and 25 when I had my son and daughter. My mother hated me for it because she wanted to be a grandmother in her 30's and I wasn't interested to get a teen mother. But knew alot of girls had a baby and they bashed me because I refused. I'm 41. My kids are 16 and 18. I'm happy neither have a baby.
I honestly can't blame Jesse for rejecting Sara and choosing to completely erase her from his life. She never considered his feelings. Deciding to get pregnant just to fit in with her friends was not only totally immature but selfish as well. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of getting married and having children. Over the years, I saw how girls as young as 12 in my country lost their youth to becoming teen parents and I can't help but feel so bad for them. Now I'm 30 and have absolutely no interest in giving birth to a child.
Idk I can kinda see why Jesse was upset after finding out about the pact but they still had sex. She could've gotten pregnant without wanting a baby. Her and friends were really delusional and sick to make a pact. That woman that was talking about giving out birth control was smart cuz girls getting pregnant were increasing
@@Daf029 Sara and her friends were morons who thought that having a baby is like those moms they see in diaper commercials. I'm actually glad Jesse moved on from an immature liar like her.
@@Daf029 Like I said, Sara and her friends were delusional morons. And I totally agree with the idea of giving out birth control since abstinence lessons only work if the person you're preaching to is smart.
@@TaeThei that was his own fault. but Sara is to blame for how things turned out. Jesse told her over and over that he wanted to go to college and get out of that town. she had no consideration for him and tried to baby trap him
Agreed. A part two should show the what took place after they had their babies and struggle to raise them. I imagine Sarah and Karissa would at least get assistance from their parents since they are still living with them. Sarah has it easier since she has both parents working. Karissa meanwhile might have to get a part time job since her mom is a single parent who probably won't be able to cover everything for her and the baby with her paycheck alone.
I agree. I thought the movie was well done and gave a good picture of the difficulties pregnant teens face however the ending marred the picture. It left the impression that, yes pregnancy is hard but look at the beautiful baby at the end!
This is such an amazing movie, I remember when I was 13yrs old I wanted to have a baby cause they are tiny cute little angels and I want to be twining with my child, I watched lot of teen pregnancy vlog on RUclips and I also wanted to do that thou I didn’t have a boyfriend at that time but as time goes on I fought that urge and take interest into my career and been successful, now I’m 20 and I’m happy that was just one phase of my life that I didn’t give in, even if I decided to have a child now I know I wouldn’t regret it as much as I would have when I was 13 cuz I can take care of the child and myself without bothering anyone……… this is such an educational movie and I hope the young teen learns from it . I’m going to search for other movies like this 💯
No offense but idk how you thought babies were cute little angels, were you not around babies? Only saying this bc when I was 13 I knew I didn't want anything to do with babies. I also had younger siblings and saw family members with babies. I was definitely parentified as in I had to act as the fill in parent from time to time and babies and kids were anything but cute little angels.
@@jclyntoledo no I wasn’t, I’m an only child. I was so isolated by my mom didn’t have friends and all that at that age, the only friends I had was the once online….. so I watched lot and lot of tempting videos online but as time goes on I start to meet people those mentality change, and I aim towards other things…now I see having kids at such a young age depriving of a lot of things
@rebeccavlogs4401 haveing kids is absolutely the hardest job on the planet...its 24 7 no pay..no rest smelly messy loud emotional many things happen you can't prepare for...its hard even if your in an amazing marriage or long term stable happy relationship I recommend holding off untill early 30,s at least..how ever hard you think it will be...times that a few hundred times and that's closer to reality..plus that's only presuming its with a healthy fit mum and baby.
True when your at that age the fantasy of having a family is mostly in our thought then as our hormones are quite allover and we thought we can do anything this is how we are much not aware of the real world. Im glad i got scared of having a guy which will only make me cry and treat me not the way i want them to be so i just focus on what i want to do and go to college but still in college my boyfriend is initiating to have s## but i reject it coz i think that im still dependent to my parents and thinking how will i raise it and baby milk and pampers are so pricey so in reality its tough so i didnt do it coz im not ready. If im going to have a baby i want it when im confidently want it not just bcoz there are pressure of friends or anyone else. Remember girls, 80% percent of the hardship is with the mother even after giving birth or they grew up its your responsibility so if your a kid who wants to have a kid 😢 oh my think it through its not that easy especially these days that even adults with work has difficulty raising their own kids.
This movie is nuts. It’s one thing to get pregnant young it’s another thing to drink while pregnant? I mean EVERYONE knows you can’t do that. No matter how sheltered you are…
Good thing that it's a movie and there aren't any drunk/ junkie pregos running around irl. (Like srsly you tried to be so superior and smart, but it didn't work)
I had my first child at 1 this movie still makes me cry cause I wanted to get pregnant from I was 15 cause I never felt loved at home now am 31 and on my way to having my 4th child i got married 4 years ago now i feel love
What bothers me is how casually the girls are depicted smoking and drinking (underaged at that) while pregnant and barely no one calls them out on it. I know this is only a movie, but it’s sad because their babies are going to grow up with health problems that could’ve easily been prevented by a drug-free pregnancy :
It is just a movie. But it's a movie that was based on real events. I was 18/19 when the real story broke, and then later on this movie came out. Made me think about some of the girls I knew in high school who got themselves into similar situations. Unfortunately they did do those kind of things while pregnant. Obviously it wasn't good nor right, but it wasn't uncommon. People really were stupid even though we had progressed quite a bit from prior decades.
This was based on real events. It wasn’t the 70’s or 80’s when I grew up, it was around 2007 or so. A time when it was well known that drinking and smoking during pregnancy could be harmful to the baby. This tightly catholic city needed to wake up and teach this in their health classes. I taught students with fetal alcohol syndrome. It’s not reversible. It’s a life sentence you may give your baby if you choose to drink while pregnant.
My mom did not drink while pregnant with me, but she DID smoke. According to her, she “cut down a lot” and changed brands (but I can’t remember the reason). I am 38 years old. I was born with two ureters on each side of my body. I had back-to-back UTIs as a kid/teenager, and I had part of my left kidney removed in 2004. I have Asthma and allergies. I had CONSTANT sinus infections and Bronchitis before my mom quit smoking (1999). I have Chronic Migraine Syndrome, Acid Reflux issues, and many more health issues. I can’t help but wonder if my mom’s smoking while pregnant had that much of a negative effect on me in the womb.
@@musicandtheatregirlOh my, that is a lot of health issues to deal with. I’m hoping you’re doing much better now. Your mom definitely shouldn’t have been smoking while she was pregnant with you, but it’s good that she quit.
@@lauriewu-jf5nhthis movie is BS & nothing in the movie came from anyone that was actually involved. The fact you believe a film producer is SAD. As a Gloucester resident we know the truth unlike you 😂
i watched this when i was pregnant with my first son .. it helped me realize the reality of my situation my oldest is almost 10 now and he has 4 little brothers... i wouldnt trade em for anything in the world not the good or the bad
I think teaching people about how hard parenting is if your not ina secure home marrieded good job good health and the cost...untill you can tick thoes boxes just don't have sex or at least unprotected sex...my kids know it's a bad idea to have sex untill your with your true life partner...keep life simple untill your trurley ready.
Pushing abstinence over not getting pregnant is just making teens hide the fact they are active. If a teen is active but unwilling to talk about it to their parents or doctors, then they won't be safe
@@dtetv8499 the mom of the main girl was the only one who pushed abstinence because of her religion, and cause she was the head of the parents congregation or something like that, she was able to push abstinence on the sex education program. But this is regardless only one girl got pregnant by accident and convinced the other girls to get pregnant too. The others did not want to use birth control since getting pregnant was their main goal, one of them was even gloating at the fact that she convinced some guy to not use condoms so she could get knocked up
My mother always told me that having a baby would mean putting that baby first and myself second. She said she and my dad were ready for that, which is why they had me. I have a ton of medical problems. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother, but I never know how I am going to feel on a daily basis. I don’t feel like it would be fair to that child - or my husband - if I got pregnant.
if a partner knows of your medial issues and is willing go along in your journey with you, i think you can still be a great mother. i wish you the best luck and happiness
I have a 5yo and I must say I made sacrifices, but it is not true that you have to put the baby always first, I think it`s sick and no-one can endure that. No one is going to be a perfect mother!
Being Healthy & takin care of urself is putting ur child 1st! Makin sure that child has its mama as long as it can Lord willing, is absolutely putting the baby 1st! No no1 is perfect only Jesus! But it isn't sick 2 b ur happiest & healtiest so ur lil Minnie me can b as well, whatever is put on ur plate! I love my kids so much & making sure their lil lives (when they was lil & now as young adults) is well protected, loved & taken care of was & still is my 1st priority & always will b! That being said making sure I'm OK, well & level headed as much as I can b @ any given time no matter what curve ball life throws @ me! I will keep myself n the best ability as the good Lord will let me, jus 4 them 2 have their biggest supporter, their mama's love & I know their young adults but I will go down always bein their biggest protector as long as I can! I fell so n love w/my kids from The moment I heard their 1st heartbeats the day I found out I was having them & even more when I 1st laid eyes on them! My happiest me is 2 always make sure their taken care of, healthy & happy!
I honestly appreciate the fact that you and your partner thought it through. Some people have kids and are shitty parents, if they didn’t want them they shouldn’t have had them. Having them an not doing for them or hurting them is the worst. Not wanting them an not having them is best. People know when they’re a not shit person but still have kids it should literally be illegal to do tbh 😂
@@beejdude That’s so sweet of you to say, and I appreciate it so much!! ♥️ I think, down the road, my husband and I will foster children/teens. They’re a commitment, but not an 18-year one - and foster children need love and care, too. ♥️
These girls were just children having sex and getting pregant. They are two young to be having babies. The only way that these girls can have a life is if their parents help raise the baby so they can finish high school and get a job. They will still be part of their babies life. Another option is putting their babies up for adoption.
And now those babies are old enough to have babies. I had my kids when I was in my thirties. 15 year olds girls having babies can be grandparents in their thirties. (Like Karissa’s mom in this movie). Teenage girls need to know that as wonderful as babies are, they are a huge responsibility. Also, if you have a baby as a teenager you are giving up many things, university and travel for example.
@@lauriewu-jf5nhI also became a mom only in my 30s and married though I wanted a baby so much in my 20s only cos I thought it would make my then boyfriend of 6 years to commit(dumb mentality). I’m happy God didn’t allow it. What I can add to what you say they also loose out is the opportunity to know themselves. Because somehow once you bring a human/humans into this world it’s not that easy to focus on developing yourself unless you are wealthy to hire people to look after your baby.
I wanted a baby so bad when I was 17. Thank goodness my boyfriend (21) had enough sense to not let it happen. I'm now 33 and I know I would be a terrible mom. I just don't have the mental capacity for it. If I had one it would be for selfish reasons and I'm not willing to put a child through that just because I want a baby. Every single aspect of motherhood is terrifying to me lol
I wanted babies when I met my bf at 19 and he told me we both weren't mature enough. I'm 26 now and we're still together but I'm glad he said that and made me understand why more . It would be the same for us but even more stressed out and with a baby that needs to be taken care of. while I can hardly take care of myself or clean the house fully it's not fair or responsible for any of us.
@@CelideeBudoromyi Trust me I do want children. But we don't have the money to have one. Also no insurance what if something happens to them. I feel like it would be irresponsible on my side as much of a blessing they would be. Thank you though ❤ I don't think I'm supposed to have one now.
I remember wanting a Baby at 16 after my niece was Born and i totally loved her. Luckily i didnt becomena mother at the age of 27. Now i have three Kids and Love Them snd so glad IT was Just a Phase i was in
Jesse shares the blame. He's the one that loaded her up even tho she planned for it to be fruitful. He has to man up and at least share responsibility to his child.
It is so weird to see how religious people see this. Oh teenage pregnancy bad, not married bad. But a baby is a gift of God. So how on earth does that make sense?
I think rose convinced them to have babies, making it seem like they are just something to carry around in your purse like those women with tiny dog's. Then the comment "you guys were jealous of me" 🤣
I agree! You cant just have babies and sport them around like tiny chihuahuas unless you are Paris Hilton or have her real estate, then you can pay babysitters and nurses to raise your child 24/7 then send him/her to boarding school in Switzerland.
Well she was the one that got pregnant first and was thinking the whole pregnancy and having a baby is a dream come true, but that's like a fantasy. Even strut around thinking false pros of having a baby instead of worrying about the cons with her own life and body, even thinking she's a celebreality with the media going on as she said in one part about being famous. She didn't see the true reality of having a baby and being a mother. And look what happened to her in the end, had to have 37 number of stitches from a painful tore, yells, cries and refuse to hold her own baby like mentioned in one part, a screaming and crying baby and refused to drink her milk while breastfeeding, possibly dropped out at the end and having no clue to be a mother and what to do. Now she has to face the reality and consequences of being a mother and taking care of a baby, just as her grandmother said "Welcome to motherhood."
These movies doesn't show alot of stuff that comes with pregnancy and life after pregnancy etc , having kids takes a huge toll on your body , there will be sleepless nights , dirty clothes ,lots of dirty diapers, no self time , body aches alot, younger girls will most likely drop out of school and get on welfare , struggling will be something most girls will get use to , the father of the kids will most likely not stick around
The spanish version ended differently, one girl revealed the reason why they made a pact : one of their friend got pregnant and the principal had threathened her to fire her from the school, so the girls all decided to be pregnant too as a sign of support. [edit] Sorry I'm french, my vocabulary is limited, the word "expel" seems more approriate.
Most teens and even many adults aren't financially and emotionally prepared to take care of a child properly. Teens are learning to emotionally regulate their own emotions and learning who they are. Babies, toddlers, and children need constant emotional regulation and teens are stressed as is, having a rough time regulating themselves. Teens will have sex no matter what. Most by 17. Sex ed is important and boys and girls were taught the correct way to use condoms in my high school and they were passed out. Never was a pregnant teen. I was very careful. None of my classmates were condom free either.
What kind of a teenage girl is excited about being pregnant? It’s nothing to play around with because having a baby changes everything especially when you are in high school. I’m 29, married without kids…honestly I’m still scared to have a kid of my own. No rush though because we are enjoying being newlyweds
I think they're bored with high school and probably would prefer a traditional life. However, traditional people get married before having babies. They just marry young. Teenage girls who do this usually feel empty somewhere inside. Congratulations on being a newly wed!
You are a good friend of you and your family is chalquell Williams and I have a new phone number and email address for my kids and I have a wonderful day at school
@@ItsTeeziiwhile I don’t personally think 24 is too young for a child. From what I see, there’s still a lack of maturity to be have. And I tend to notice women do mature more than men. When a child’s in the picture, but you have to be able to know. That your life’s going to take a big shift. You no longer can just get up and do you. You have to think for 2.
@@Jsal17there shouldn’t be a comparison on what’s too young/old. They’re right. Age doesn’t make you a good/bad parent. Are there more variables to making you a “bad” parent while young? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you’re destined to be a bad parent.
As much as I think Jesse is at fault for not taking precautions. The fact that Sarah lied to him about not actively trying to get pregnant must have felt like a real betrayal. I doubt he could ever trust her again, hence why I don't blame him for dumping her. Hopefully he and Sarah end up working things out, and work out a co-parenting arrangement. What's done is done. He has to man up and not hold a grudge for the sake of his child.
Yeah, I don't blame him for dumping her over lying but honestly-he should have wrapped it up if he wanted to make sure she didn't get pregnant. I also hope he'd be in the kid's life because it's not the baby's fault everything happened. I kind of feel he got off scot free and she is stuck raising the baby on her own.
@@LookAtWow I think he will when the kid is older and wants to know who his father is and hopefully Jesse contacts him. Sarah really shouldn't have lied to him and get pregnant just to stay together. All that did was break them up.
I don't agree with the answers before. It's not only Sarah is to blame even she lied about the pact thing. Just think about how the hell could she trick Jesse if they did not use protection. Why is okay to buy a pregnancy test while it's so embarrassing to buy condoms? I personally think it's better to take precaution. So Sarah was delusional about having a baby - I think mostly because her friends talked her into it and she really wanted to fit in - and also Jesse was a complete idiot while not taking things seriously. Like is he really said "I should have pulled out every time..."? So convenient, it's not his body after all.
The moral and main focal point to this movie period is that things like this happens everyday if people do not tell their children the truth about the consequences when it comes to Sex. Sex is suppose to be a married adult kind of thing that is suppose to be kept in marriages, but that is not the world that we live in right now. Sex is not all romantic and sweet. Some people could contract STDS, HIV, AND GET PREGNANT ON THEIR FIRST TIME THAT WILL ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. SEX IS NOT A GAME NOR A JOKE RATHER YOU ARE A TEENAGER OR AN ADULTS.
To tell you the real truth I wanted to give up my teenage years (14-16) wanting to get pregnant but it never happened or else my dad would have killed me alive
My opinion about this movie is let young woman face reality of motherhood and to work for what they want/need and let other people stop judging young woman because of pregnancies and “mistakes” they have made let them learn the way they want to be learned and make their own disitions and just experience motherhood and i think this should be played in Highschools in South Africa !!
I hope none of y'all think your kid is gonna be your best friend, because your kid might grow up despising you, and disowning you as soon as they reach adulthood.
@@katscratchfever3506 whoa, that must be hard. I was a jerk in jr.high, and decided at 13 that I hated my mom. But I grew up, and stopped feeling that way.
i was like tht .. im sorry u have to go thru this but things will be okay after she just finish with her teen life.. now im also slowly getting together with my mom . ♡ its going well.. @@katscratchfever3506
It's sad that so many parents refuse to talk about sex and the safety precautions they need to take when they do decide to have sex instead just saying wait wait wait. Not everyone wants to wait, and while it's not ideal, it's the truth, and it's better to teach them than let them learn the hard way.
in Canada, I remember when this hit the news back in the early '2000 The part that bugs me (and theres so many fractured lives right now) is the drinking while 0regnant 💔
All these young gjrls that have babies thinking its going to be something that keeps their boyfriend in the picture, or as an accessory - they have no idea what it takes. I was 19 when i had my first i am now 34 with 4 daughters, looking back 19 was very young! I was not mature enough and made mistakes. These girls need to realise the reality of becoming someomes mother for life not just when its comvenient
Oh but I thought having their pact of pregnancies that surprise surprise led to an actual infant ie little human being that they’re now responsible for- for the rest of their lives! Such Happiness?! 🤔
At least the movie carries one right message.. Providing contraception is not a solution. Also they are not 100% efficient. And just preaching about abstinence doesn’t work either. Listening to teens and answering their questions with patience truthfully, is very very important.
Small town mentality has alot to do with it also. Its a cycle that parents have to break and have those hard conversations with their kids. Both daughters and sons. Ive been there and followed my mothers footsteps. I broke that cycle with my 3 daughters. ❤
I think it’s interesting how Sydney Fossey accused the mother of stating that she said that she doesn’t have the right to talk about young adults becoming pregnant, but she twisted the words of the mother, who actually said that she didn’t think that Cindy had any right to be judgmental against her, and had no right to talk to her about the situation to her directly because Cindy is not a mom
This is a good movie for parents of teenagers as well. Too many parents shame and act like their kids are terrible people for thinking about sex or wanting to be a parent. so instead of having an open, healthy dialogue about why those feelings aren't wrong but that it's good to wait anyways, the kids choose to do what they want behind their parents backs.
I got pregnant at 19... ironically .. a few weeks after mothers day.. Got pregnant in may.. 3 months before turning 20... had my kid in feb..6 months before turning 21.. and even THAT i felt is WAY too young... to me , i sill was a teenager.. because its Nine-TEEN, I have a son and now that im a parent im COMPLETELY terrified of this happening ...im now almost 29... with only ONE kid... if theres ANY thing im instilling in him is BE SAFE, and IDC if she says im "on the pill" UNLESS YOU SEE HER TAKING IT EVERY single day..at the same time.. DO NOT believe it.. IDC how much you "love her" people are dumb and crazy.. and trap people all the time, and i am NOT trying yo become a grandma at 35 or 36 years old.
I think it’s hilarious when her boyfriend who she is physically married to ask her if she got pregnant on purpose and she lies, but he is also at fault because he doesn’t understand that it takes two people to get pregnant and they didn’t really think about it all
No matter how parents trying to raise their children right, these kids have mind of their own. They are easily influenced by their peers pushing away reality of life.
The one girl who says that she doesn’t want her boyfriend to know is a hypocrite because I don’t think she understands that given that he is the father he has a right to be involved in his kids life. I don’t think she understands that it takes two people to make a baby.
I went to highschool with a-lot of pregnant teens in my class and working at a daycare as young teen deff was the best birth control for me back then. I knew I didn’t want kids that young.
This is my first time watching this…I’m 17, I learn at a Roman Catholic mission girls school in Zambia. Getting pregnant whilst in this school leads to a forced transfer….so I’m extremely scared of getting pregnant, plus labour is so painful! Omg…I just can’t imagine myself getting pregnant
Then don’t have sex until you can imagine yourself getting pregnant because that’s what it’s for. Plain and simple. Birth control fails, good luck getting an abortion in a catholic community. Stay abstinent, trust me.
Just putting this out there for teenagers , i wish i abstained. Trust me it saves you a lot of headache,unnecessary trauma and drama. From a just no longer a teenager. Honey you can survive without sex at this age, infact you thrive without it. There are better things to throw that innocence at. Hold on to it please 🙏
Im still a teenager and im not pregnant or have kids bc i wanna wait on that theres more to life then to have kids at younge age to other teens out there just wait till your older to have kids or you will end up like the girls in this movie,and i rather have alife before i have any kids...just think about this movie as a life lesson and im 16 thats got a big life ahead of me.
I decided to never have a child, because there is no "right" time and so many people get angry about the most natural. And I am so happy without it. I don't have the worries, I have free time, I don't have pain. And I don't need to be with a guy who makes my life a living hell (as they do already, although it is just a little bit of family).
I was never embarrassed to buy condoms. I always said, that if that embarasses you then you're not mature enough to be sexually active. At least these days you can order online so that can help lol
I am scared of getting pregnant knowing that i am not financially stable. If i dont get everything sorted out, i may never get pregnant. Especially the fact that i don't believe in marriage.
Children having children like playing with dolls. Those girls parents are the ones that would end up financially supporting and raising those children. What a crazy world! Some being careless, getting pregnant then having abortions as birth control and others irresponsibly having children.
Sarah was mad selfish. She never listened to Jesse who clearly wanted to go to college, and called his baseball “stupid.” He was wrong for not using a condom though.
Omg, this is exactly what I am thinking. 100% yes. Sarah is selfish and made Jessie look like the selfish one. I am very sorry for him. Although he should have used protection which I think is very important. It’s the fault of both of them. I am not sure about their position, if Jessie helps her with the baby but he should at least a bit. That’s all I wanted to say, thanks for the comment ❤
I can say from experience that saying abstinence is the solution, you just add shame to it and kids will hide it and be unsafe. Teach it as an anatomy class
I had my daughter August 2008 i was 18. It was not easy my ANY means. This movie still triggers me. Being a parent is anything but easy much less being a teen parent. My daughter is now 15 and i want so much more for her
I had my daughter July 2009 at 18 and I seen this I think when she was 2 or 3. She's 14 now and I have open candid conversations with her and my 9 year old son. I want them to graduate HS, go to collage, go to the club (something I've still never done) and just get themselves set up for life and have a loving partner. I'm not with either of their father's and I want their path to look a lot different than mine
As an 19 year old kid who wanted kids in my early teens im glad i didn't cus now i watch kids at 14,15,and 16 have kids and i think why? Why have kids when ur a kid yourself
I wanted the same😭 thankfully i didn’t because i wouldn’t have been able to give my child the best chance at life… i am now 19 turning 20 next month and im currently pregnant!! not the most ideal but at least i can now saw im more adult and im financially stable enough to bring my lil bean into the world in march🥹🥰
Thank GOD I raised my dad raised me right and I raised my daughter right! This level of stupidity was never an issue for us! Educate your kids and stop giving so much freedom!
No, it’s not in this case. Since the girls really wanted to get pregnant, that was your goal to begin with what they need is a good dose of therapy in common sense.

My mom had me at 15, God bless her. She did the right thing putting me up for adoption. I have since reconnected with her and met my other family
First time I watched this I was 17yrs old and had just had my first baby. It hit in a whole different way. Just found it here again and that baby is now 16yrs old and its hitting in a brand new way. As a teen mum, and as a mum of a teen now, I still think this movie should be played in high schools as part of the sex education program. It doesnt glorify the situation in any way, but did a good job of displaying the harsh realities involved with having a baby this young and the consequences of sex
Shouldn't the baby be like 13-14? If this was based off of something that happened on 2008?
@@xarzneimittel8220 nope. Kid would have needed to be born in 2009 for it to be 13-14yrs
She didn't say she was pregnant. She said she's just had her baby, which could be 1week to 12months
Jessse abandoned the baby sich a jerk even though Sarah was wrong
@@papabikontor7001if she can trick him to keep it she can take care of it by herself. She is trash. If a guy tricked a girl into getting pregnant and everyone gaslit her and said “ThErE wAs No PaCk” everyone would be pissed. It’s wrong period so let her deal with the consequences.
A few pieces of advice - Don't let just any guy get you pregnant, and make sure you're both in a good position financially and psychologically to support yourselves and a child.
And don't push your dreams and wishes on others, that's manipulation
Get married first
Wait to have children until you feel good about yourself and are responsible
Hey
@Fnever willunSize_Paradise
“You have to decide if you wanna be uncomfortable for a couple of minutes or extremely uncomfortable for 9 months”
This part needs to be told to people today 💯
More like for fhe reat of your life. Haaving children is such a pain
It is a good quote to remember when it comes to using birth control.
Absolutely
I agree 100> Those words stuck in my head. Im a mom to 4 daughters, 7,8,15 turning 16 in a month and 25. I am always having the talk and realized it needed to be talked about sooner than later because our young teens are active in sexual activity at such a young age today. I told my daughters so far two of them that please come to me when you feel your ready and I will make that appt at the family planning in our city to talk about birth control and condoms to keep them safe from stds. I got pregnant at 18 and had my first at 19 and luckily had already graduated H.S. but I still didnt have my life together. No college education, no career. Still living at home. I came to that realization and it was extremely hard. Thats why my 2 oldest are 10 years apart. I knew I wanted more children but it wasnt fair to them to bring them into this world if I was going to struggle to feed and cloth them. I know young teens have their heads in the clouds when it comes to having a baby and raising them. These tv shows like 16 and pregnant also dont show the true reality of motherhood either. Those shows glorify and get the teens wishing they could be in the spotlight. We need parenting classes and more health and sex education in all schools. Also dare programs and not in just kindergarden or elementary. it needs to be in highschool and for mandatory for every student.
I have never in my life seen a teenager girl look so disappointed about not being pregnant😂🤦♂️
Scared to experience this at 19 years old
I know right!!😭😭😭
And If They Think Teens Pregnancy Is Okay, Well Then They Are Beyond Stupid.

I watched this at 12 years old. And just found it again at 16. I saved it and decided that for my own self I would watch it at least once a year. And do believe it should be played in high schools.
I better have a daughter with your intelligence!
Stay the course!! ❤
Yeah, it should. Honestly just to show the reality of it. Sometimes things might go great and you can still go to school. Other times, that doesn't work out.
"who wants to be a grandmother at 31"... I'm still not ready to be a grandmother at 39!
I wish I was a grandma I'm gonna be 48
Seeing how she was likely the same age as her daughter when she fell pregnant with her. I completely understand why she is so dismayed.
My mother had me when she was 16 and I made her a grandmother when she was 34. That is too young to try to spend time with grandchildren when her career was just starting. I think back on how crazy that is. I was not ready to be a mom at 18.

Having a baby is a huge deal/life changing! People nowadays treat children as if they’re just cute little accessories to flaunt around, but it’s much more than that. Once you’re a parent you’re a parent for life that YOU are responsible for taking care of. Plus in this economy how in the hell can anyone afford to have kids?
Well said
ⓣⓡⓤⓔ
Brother... people have been having kids forever obviously. If there's not enough money for each of them to have their own tablets and Pampers diapers, they'll still make it on a wing and a prayer.
well the birth rates are going down. people are opting out and I'm here for it
agreed
This was an heartfelt movie, however this movie have to take into consideration, that the last statements in this show can encourage someone who is pondering if they should get pregnant, to actually doing it.
I just want to say to any female pondering or longing to get pregnant, to think about lives being taken, rather than the birth of a precious newborn.
As rightly said, A baby is a gift from God. How better to honour that gift when you can financial, emotionally, physically and mentally care, nurture, guide and grow *life* .
Wait until *you* are able to give that beautiful soul, gift, precious baby *the world* .
You wait to give that child even more than you can imagine for yourself, even more love that you can every dream of.
This movie got me crying from start to finish. It’s making me think of how am I going to prevent my kids in the near future (9 year old boy, 5 year old girl and 2 yr old boy) from making such decisions. Being a pastor’s wife must not put me on the high horse like Sarah’s mom. Lord help us.
Show them love, encourage their individual interests, listen to them, and be an actively present and reliable person in their lives and they'll make smart and safe decisions for themselves later.
Real trust and acceptance no matter what
The problem is when a teenager has idea like Sarah it's not something that's can go away easily. I always wanted to be a mom since I was 15 and I always tried to be pregnant. I finally have a baby at 31 but it could be at 15. And like Sarah I just wanted to have a child and this idea never went away. So when you have this kind of obsession and unfortunately you have bad influence it just makes things worse
@smarlieaugustin3768 i was a teen mum with the same mentality. Does not mean I was at all privy to seeing or knowing the reality. All I had to go off was what my married parents said, and they had me in their 30s, so I'm my teen brain they didn't understand. If I had a teen parent there to explain the reality of being a teen parent to me, I may have reconsidered, or at least re-evaluated my "plan" (there was no plan, I wanted to be a mum and have a baby, all realistic approaches or thoughts were non existent). It won't stop or change all teen pregnancy, but that input can absolutely make many kids (boys and girls) think before they do
Well don’t overthink it and don’t manifest it so in a way don’t think about this and educate your kids when having sex as a bigger problem isn’t having a baby it’s catching a big disease than many can’t get rid off and more to be added on the list. Just got to teach them that having a baby isn’t the best thing to do when you are young and if they are going to be active to always use protection don’t be scared to talk to ur kids about sex bcs that’s very important you don’t want them to be clueless and lost about such a big subject. Have to remind them a baby requires big responsibility and lots of money and attention, they should always focus on school and what they want to be after school. No matter what happens they have a big support and that’s you, even if they mess up you have to love your kids with all the craziness that might come ♥️
My first at 15 I lost him .. then my bf. I made a pact to myself to only get pregnant when I find a good man who would step up, and that I’d be a great mom to and be able to financially care aswell,I could alway care for a baby but those were my hardest feelings about it all. I’m glad I waited. I had my daughter at 28 and my son at 30. Couldn’t be happier. I do still think of them, I miss them dearly but that’s just what happened I guess, I needed to learn. This movie should definitely be played in schools .
What’s sad is each girl felt such a lack of love that they felt the need to do this. That’s the real issue.
Yes! I didn't want a kid as a teen under 18, but I did want a partner. I felt so sad and started looking for love from 18 on because my dad wasn't a constant fixture in my life
Clearly you don’t know anything that actually happen 😂
Where in this whole movie did you come up with that assumption??🤦🏼♀️🙄 😂 They had plenty of love. They just had their head in the clouds and thought it was gonna just be a big slumber party all the time with their kids. Watch it again and pay attention
The girl of restaurant owner was more afraid and concerned about what her friends were doing and decided to use a baby to trap her boyfriend because she was more worried that he was going to graduate and leave her. She was living in a fictional world about what their life was going to be after getting pregnant and not caring about what he wanted in anyway.
They all had this made up version of what their lives were going to be and not living in reality in anyway. Not thinking about what their lives were going to truly be like…the consequences and what it would mean to have to actually rise and take care of another life.
@@whitleyfreet9222i think there speaking as of reality … Bcs In real life a lot of Teenagers are trying too get pregnant too feel that unconditional love
Back when I was in High School from 2017-2021 I had insane baby fever and my fiancé and high school lover knew how crazy I was for a baby but growing up I realized how hard it is to raise a child on your own. I got pregnant at 18 and had my first born and she’s now a year old and I’m expecting my second with my fiancé and we both were so happy we didn’t decide to try for a baby during our teenage years. I do believe every high school should play this movie to teach younger women and men about the consequences and seriousness of what comes with a baby involved.
Wanting a baby as a teenager these girls have no idea what they are in for. Sure babies are cute and lovable but its A LOT of responsibility! I had my first at 16....it changes your life completely!
💯
Well, the first who got pregnant was literally like: "Imma be new Jamie Lynn Spears.", which a bit later would be "Imma be new Kylie Jenner." (i didn't hear any recent teen celebrity getting pregnant, and even Kylie waited to finish highschool).
Also, we have some representation of heroic and cool teen moms like Lorelei Gilmore who made it on their own (I guess that's your story, and even if you had the baby daddy here, it's even better, the two of you deciding to own it and make family work is cute and totaly anti normalizing high body counts as highly pornographic shows do, which has a result of makeing teens thinking they should act upon hormones in order to be cool, the recent movie trope of "I waisted my teens being a nerd" not helping either).
Also, the red haired girl (I think Sarah, I am kinda bad with names) shows another possible reason. The society kinda shuns the housewives as lazy or weak minded and submissive (my grandma who was a housewife was neither, she kept grandpa in check when he did stupid things, he quit binge drinking because of her), while some girls just want to make their family their work. So this could be sort of teenage rebellion gone wrong.
Those three things, the celebs, movies and some act of conservative rebelion, make kids not have the reality check about teen pregnancy they think is cool.
I'm an adult and it's hard

Because you are no longer minor you don't need to please anyone, you did adulting and had kid, the way you care about it doesen't have to please a single person except the one you care about -don't ever listen to the others who judge your parenting-as you said, it's hard, so there is no one fix way to do it. If you make mistakes, it's just normal, this shit is learned as it goes, and requires more dedication and effort than the hardest job. I am with you and all the new parents. Best luck to you and your spouse, and may you and your kid always be happy.
@marijajanicijevic8211 They are still minors, teen parents or no, until they are 18. That is what the law says. Being as they are minors, them having babies affects several people, so they should listen to others.
Watching this movie has made me appreciate and love my mom even more than i already do. My mom had me at 19 and my brother at 15. She has always shown me my whole life that if i ever have questions about anything in the world she'll do her best to answer them and if she can't to look it up. At the age of 2 years old she said i asked her what was the blood in her panties and the pad she was throwing away. And right then and there she gave me the lesson of what periods were and pads were at the age of 2 years old. And later at the age of 8 years old when she knew it was time i would be starting mine. All my life i always had questions about anything and my dad would be shy about it and avoid it and my teachers scolded me and said thats inappropriate to ask. But my mom was always straightforward with it and never hesitated to answer my questions. At the age of i think 11 or 12, i asked what flavored condoms were because i seen it in a fanfic. My dad was there and was mad i asked about it. But my mom told me what they were for which then made me ask what bj's were and she answered that too and again i was young to know about it. And my dad was mad she answered the condom question and told me what bj's were. He was mad she had the sex talk with me and i was in the 3rd grade. But my mom always told him that if she didnt answer the questions that i could or would go out and learn on my own what the answer is. To which later on she told me it was because kids as young as 5th and 4th graders were having sex and she wanted me to be prepared and think for myself. Everyone always gets mad about her telling me things at a young age but she always said shes my first teacher and that if she didnt teach me then no one would. Knowing all this has made me love my mom so much and has shown me that nothing i say will ever turn her away or make her mad.
When a child knows enough to ask questions, they're old enough for an honest, age-appropriate answer. Sounds like your mom had the right idea and good intentions - good on her for fostering open communication! ❤
I was a teen mom . I was lucky to have a school i could go to and graduate. There was a daycare. Or id been screwed. I graduated a year early. I remember hearing 3 girls while in a bathroom stall literally screeching on how they couldnt wait to have babies to " dress up" and "play with together" like they were dolls, toys. I on the other hand hadnt slept more then a hour for weeks, i was speechless , i didnt plan mine , but they seemed to already have. So crazy .. 2010 was a teen baby boom
You know what they never show in the movies. Real labour. How it's not laying down, how you're on all fours, how it's too late for pain meds and how after the birth of baby you need to birth the placenta, nobody talks about passing the placenta 😂
Right. And hypnobirthing is never mentioned or water birth at home the normal natural way. It's brainwashing people into over medicalising...which actually causes problems and unnecessary interventions. Its gross. Patriarchal system. Gross.
RIGHT!! But don't remind me, I'm due soon with my 4th baby😭
I was in my back when I gave birth. But yes, also on all fours when labouring. Birth is nothing like the movies. And we should tell people how it really is
I kept throwing up and crying as well as screaming then I got stuck In there for days because I had high blood pressure at least my son was ok
Right! My placenta ripped so the Dr had to scrape it out and I was in so much pain screaming like I never had before and my husband said I bleed so much he was scared he was gonna lose me. My experience makes me so nervous to get pregnant again.
The only thing ths movie missed is including miscarriage infant loss still birth , being a teen and going through that is the opposite of teen pregnancy ur heart broken to young to understand the full extent of trauma that’ll follow u to adult hood & it’s like u don’t get to grieve meanwhile others are punished for having a baby , love this movie Ill never forget going home & watching this after I lost my first baby ❤
And making these kids get jobs. Babies cost money.
I know that feeling all too well in life. Your comment speaks volumes to teen issues in general. Being traumatized at that age, and not being able to process it fully to heal.
I think my son was 4 years old when the story came out out in the news. I was 23 at the time but had my son at 19. This movie is one of my fav lifetime movies
I remember watching this when I was 16 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I couldnt think of the name of the movie, I was surfing youtube then boom. Here is it. Thank you so much for the upload. Brings so much memories!!
When i was a teen i was convinced i was going to be a young mother. I never tried to get pregnant, but i had insane baby fever and was doing lots of "practice". Now, at 28 and married, i still dont have a kid and unsure if i ever want to. Im so glad i didnt end up pregnant and in a position i would regret in the future.
You’re telling me I had my first when I was a teen I’m now 28 with two kids and looking back I would do some things differently
I’m so glad this movie is free !!!
I had mine just after i matriculated; it was so difficult having to go through the pragnacy by myself. My boyfriend then was 3 years older than me and i was 18 then. He got arrested when i was 6 months and got out when my daughter was 5; then he got arrested agian and his in prison and my dsughter is turning 16 this year. It was not an easy journey and i thank God for giving me strength to raise her. If i had a chance to go back i would do things differently. I love my baby girl i wouldn't tread her for nothing.

This was a great movie and all teenagers should sit down and watch this movie cause it's a lot of lessons from this movie... Keep communicating open with your children and stop thinking it can't happen in your house cause it could if you don't have a open mind... Save yourself and your future children from a lot of pain by having a close mind and communication with your family... 1:26:08
She ignored his plans every time. He has dreams of being a ball player. I felt no sympathy for these girls being stupid.
It was selfish for his girlfriend to think he would stay for her and never stop to think how it might affected their future. While her dream was to be a mum, his were to go to college, maybe develop a career and then start a family. None of those plans seem to register in her mind.
For real she kept moaning about what she wanted while just ignoring his and then pretty much tried chaining him to her. She didn’t even care enough to stop drinking
Never mind he might not be good enough to be a professional.
Yet you people mucked Jehovah witness call us boring. I don't care get mad all you want I will say it again . Wait until marriage to have sex. We don't have this problem at a jehova witness house hold.
My mom was pregnant with me in the 2000's at 16 and ended up having me at 17 with very little help of my father because of the terms they were on. Ik it was hard for her though she doesn't speak of it too often since I'm older, I'm aware it was one of the the things she wished she wouldn't have done but she's also made me aware she doesn't regret it. And growing up even as a child I knew teen pregnancy wasn't something to not be looked up upon. I enjoy movies on sensitive topics like these just to make me grateful i have yet to or never go through that. My mom ended up finishing high school with the help of my family watching me after and while she went, she just never finished college. We live a nice average life now I have 2 wonderful brother's a nice house an amazing step-father but I know this is not the case for all teen mothers. So I'm glad movies like this one and Juno and many more show the different emotions and perspectives of how teen pregnancy can re-direct a young girls life
There's a saying. A smart person learns from their mistakes. A wise person learns from other people's mistakes. You are a very wise person.
Now we are in 2024 and most of these kids are 16 today or about to be. Lets pray they make better choices
Wait, why doesn't the movie show everything that comes with being pregnant? This movoe is glorifying pregnancy. Pregnancy is awful for some women. Morning sickness (which is not just throwing up ONE time), swollen ankles, shortness of breath, growing pains, back pains, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, not to mention the potential of freaking DYING during birth! NONE of these girls showed that.
Also, they should have a program taking the girls window shopping for baby supplies and how expensive they are… same program should have them spend time with colicky babies while having no sleep….and time with preschool children who are super naughty!! Editing to add…. they should have to spend at least one time in an actual delivery room
Maybe because nobody from Gloucester wanted to be involved. The film producer legit just made up the entire movie. It might be “based on a real event” but the fact is nothing in this movie is FACTS!
@AlexandriaCardoza wooooooow, that's jacked up. But seriously, not even doing research on pregnancy IN GENERAL. How idiotic.

When l was 27, l had a friend who was about to be a grandmother at 36! I remember my ex husband (who was 28) telling me he couldn’t imagine being a grandfather in the next 8 years
Same happened in my family. A cousin had her kid really young and now she's a grandma at 36. I am the same age and had my last baby. I couldn't imagine being a grandma at this age. Love my kids and one day I hope to be a grandma but I am ok with them waiting until they are older.
I'm a dy-ke so I'm never ready to be a grandmother. And never will be because I don't have kids. :-D This is why the LGBT culture is "pushed." Because the world is over-populated. Not our fault. Just sayin.' I like dolls but I can't stand kids.
My mother was 17 when she had me and grandmother @40 and 42. I was 23 and 25 when I had my son and daughter. My mother hated me for it because she wanted to be a grandmother in her 30's and I wasn't interested to get a teen mother. But knew alot of girls had a baby and they bashed me because I refused.
I'm 41. My kids are 16 and 18. I'm happy neither have a baby.
I will always agree that MTVs Teen Mom increased the pregnancy rate
I always thought that show glamorized teen pregnancy!
Made teen pregnancy look glorious.
16 & Pregnant set the precedent of the teen pregnancy epidemic
So the 2 shoes together @@alexa42490
i’d say a bit yeah.
Grandma at 31!!! I had my first kid at 30 😂. I cannot even imagine getting pregnant so young.
I honestly can't blame Jesse for rejecting Sara and choosing to completely erase her from his life. She never considered his feelings. Deciding to get pregnant just to fit in with her friends was not only totally immature but selfish as well.
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of getting married and having children. Over the years, I saw how girls as young as 12 in my country lost their youth to becoming teen parents and I can't help but feel so bad for them. Now I'm 30 and have absolutely no interest in giving birth to a child.
Idk I can kinda see why Jesse was upset after finding out about the pact but they still had sex. She could've gotten pregnant without wanting a baby. Her and friends were really delusional and sick to make a pact. That woman that was talking about giving out birth control was smart cuz girls getting pregnant were increasing
@@Daf029 Sara and her friends were morons who thought that having a baby is like those moms they see in diaper commercials. I'm actually glad Jesse moved on from an immature liar like her.
@@Daf029 Like I said, Sara and her friends were delusional morons. And I totally agree with the idea of giving out birth control since abstinence lessons only work if the person you're preaching to is smart.
Then why did he came inside??? He didnt use protection too
@@TaeThei that was his own fault. but Sara is to blame for how things turned out. Jesse told her over and over that he wanted to go to college and get out of that town. she had no consideration for him and tried to baby trap him
Wish they could’ve made a sequel movie about the girls raising their babies or something. I felt like the ending wasn’t complete lol.
Agreed. A part two should show the what took place after they had their babies and struggle to raise them. I imagine Sarah and Karissa would at least get assistance from their parents since they are still living with them. Sarah has it easier since she has both parents working. Karissa meanwhile might have to get a part time job since her mom is a single parent who probably won't be able to cover everything for her and the baby with her paycheck alone.
Right. It's been 15 years since the actual pregnancy pact news made headlines. A sequel would be nice I think set 10 or so years after the events.
I keep thinking what happened to the other girl? Did they stay in school? Did they have boys or girls? Did they keep the babies?
I agree. I thought the movie was well done and gave a good picture of the difficulties pregnant teens face however the ending marred the picture. It left the impression that, yes pregnancy is hard but look at the beautiful baby at the end!
Exactly Rose baby girl was still crying, maybe she is going through withdrawals
This is such an amazing movie, I remember when I was 13yrs old I wanted to have a baby cause they are tiny cute little angels and I want to be twining with my child, I watched lot of teen pregnancy vlog on RUclips and I also wanted to do that thou I didn’t have a boyfriend at that time but as time goes on I fought that urge and take interest into my career and been successful, now I’m 20 and I’m happy that was just one phase of my life that I didn’t give in, even if I decided to have a child now I know I wouldn’t regret it as much as I would have when I was 13 cuz I can take care of the child and myself without bothering anyone……… this is such an educational movie and I hope the young teen learns from it . I’m going to search for other movies like this 💯
Im 13 and i think the movie is educational but dum😂😂😅
No offense but idk how you thought babies were cute little angels, were you not around babies? Only saying this bc when I was 13 I knew I didn't want anything to do with babies. I also had younger siblings and saw family members with babies. I was definitely parentified as in I had to act as the fill in parent from time to time and babies and kids were anything but cute little angels.
@@jclyntoledo no I wasn’t, I’m an only child. I was so isolated by my mom didn’t have friends and all that at that age, the only friends I had was the once online….. so I watched lot and lot of tempting videos online but as time goes on I start to meet people those mentality change, and I aim towards other things…now I see having kids at such a young age depriving of a lot of things
@rebeccavlogs4401 haveing kids is absolutely the hardest job on the planet...its 24 7 no pay..no rest smelly messy loud emotional many things happen you can't prepare for...its hard even if your in an amazing marriage or long term stable happy relationship I recommend holding off untill early 30,s at least..how ever hard you think it will be...times that a few hundred times and that's closer to reality..plus that's only presuming its with a healthy fit mum and baby.
True when your at that age the fantasy of having a family is mostly in our thought then as our hormones are quite allover and we thought we can do anything this is how we are much not aware of the real world. Im glad i got scared of having a guy which will only make me cry and treat me not the way i want them to be so i just focus on what i want to do and go to college but still in college my boyfriend is initiating to have s## but i reject it coz i think that im still dependent to my parents and thinking how will i raise it and baby milk and pampers are so pricey so in reality its tough so i didnt do it coz im not ready. If im going to have a baby i want it when im confidently want it not just bcoz there are pressure of friends or anyone else. Remember girls, 80% percent of the hardship is with the mother even after giving birth or they grew up its your responsibility so if your a kid who wants to have a kid 😢 oh my think it through its not that easy especially these days that even adults with work has difficulty raising their own kids.
This movie is nuts. It’s one thing to get pregnant young it’s another thing to drink while pregnant? I mean EVERYONE knows you can’t do that. No matter how sheltered you are…
Good thing that it's a movie and there aren't any drunk/ junkie pregos running around irl. (Like srsly you tried to be so superior and smart, but it didn't work)

@@chloeisunique2207 I know. My response was sarcastic, because the original commenter said this could never happen. I thought that's obvious

I was a grandmother at the age 41 I was sorprice it take me 2 weeks to digest the news but them I love it!!! Now my grand child his 11 year all.
What bothers me is how casually the girls are depicted smoking and drinking (underaged at that) while pregnant and barely no one calls them out on it. I know this is only a movie, but it’s sad because their babies are going to grow up with health problems that could’ve easily been prevented by a drug-free pregnancy :
It is just a movie. But it's a movie that was based on real events. I was 18/19 when the real story broke, and then later on this movie came out. Made me think about some of the girls I knew in high school who got themselves into similar situations. Unfortunately they did do those kind of things while pregnant. Obviously it wasn't good nor right, but it wasn't uncommon. People really were stupid even though we had progressed quite a bit from prior decades.
This was based on real events. It wasn’t the 70’s or 80’s when I grew up, it was around 2007 or so. A time when it was well known that drinking and smoking during pregnancy could be harmful to the baby. This tightly catholic city needed to wake up and teach this in their health classes. I taught students with fetal alcohol syndrome. It’s not reversible. It’s a life sentence you may give your baby if you choose to drink while pregnant.
My mom did not drink while pregnant with me, but she DID smoke. According to her, she “cut down a lot” and changed brands (but I can’t remember the reason).
I am 38 years old.
I was born with two ureters on each side of my body. I had back-to-back UTIs as a kid/teenager, and I had part of my left kidney removed in 2004.
I have Asthma and allergies. I had CONSTANT sinus infections and Bronchitis before my mom quit smoking (1999).
I have Chronic Migraine Syndrome, Acid Reflux issues, and many more health issues.
I can’t help but wonder if my mom’s smoking while pregnant had that much of a negative effect on me in the womb.
@@musicandtheatregirlOh my, that is a lot of health issues to deal with. I’m hoping you’re doing much better now. Your mom definitely shouldn’t have been smoking while she was pregnant with you, but it’s good that she quit.
@@lauriewu-jf5nhthis movie is BS & nothing in the movie came from anyone that was actually involved. The fact you believe a film producer is SAD. As a Gloucester resident we know the truth unlike you 😂
i watched this when i was pregnant with my first son .. it helped me realize the reality of my situation my oldest is almost 10 now and he has 4 little brothers... i wouldnt trade em for anything in the world not the good or the bad
Comprehensive sex education is SO important. Only teaching abstinence just results in higher rates of teen pregnancies and STIs
It’s not about sex education. These girls really wanted to get pregnant that was there goal
I think teaching people about how hard parenting is if your not ina secure home marrieded good job good health and the cost...untill you can tick thoes boxes just don't have sex or at least unprotected sex...my kids know it's a bad idea to have sex untill your with your true life partner...keep life simple untill your trurley ready.
Pushing abstinence over not getting pregnant is just making teens hide the fact they are active. If a teen is active but unwilling to talk about it to their parents or doctors, then they won't be safe
@@dtetv8499 the mom of the main girl was the only one who pushed abstinence because of her religion, and cause she was the head of the parents congregation or something like that, she was able to push abstinence on the sex education program. But this is regardless only one girl got pregnant by accident and convinced the other girls to get pregnant too. The others did not want to use birth control since getting pregnant was their main goal, one of them was even gloating at the fact that she convinced some guy to not use condoms so she could get knocked up
Imagine catholic schools
My mother always told me that having a baby would mean putting that baby first and myself second. She said she and my dad were ready for that, which is why they had me.
I have a ton of medical problems. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mother, but I never know how I am going to feel on a daily basis. I don’t feel like it would be fair to that child - or my husband - if I got pregnant.
if a partner knows of your medial issues and is willing go along in your journey with you, i think you can still be a great mother. i wish you the best luck and happiness
I have a 5yo and I must say I made sacrifices, but it is not true that you have to put the baby always first, I think it`s sick and no-one can endure that. No one is going to be a perfect mother!
Being Healthy & takin care of urself is putting ur child 1st! Makin sure that child has its mama as long as it can Lord willing, is absolutely putting the baby 1st! No no1 is perfect only Jesus!

I will keep myself n the best ability as the good Lord will let me, jus 4 them 2 have their biggest supporter, their mama's love & I know their young adults but I will go down always bein their biggest protector as long as I can! I fell so n love w/my kids from The moment I heard their 1st heartbeats the day I found out I was having them & even more when I 1st laid eyes on them! My happiest me is 2 always make sure their taken care of, healthy & happy!
I honestly appreciate the fact that you and your partner thought it through. Some people have kids and are shitty parents, if they didn’t want them they shouldn’t have had them. Having them an not doing for them or hurting them is the worst. Not wanting them an not having them is best. People know when they’re a not shit person but still have kids it should literally be illegal to do tbh 😂
@@beejdude That’s so sweet of you to say, and I appreciate it so much!! ♥️
I think, down the road, my husband and I will foster children/teens. They’re a commitment, but not an 18-year one - and foster children need love and care, too. ♥️
If I got pregnant as a teenager and wasn't married, I would give the baby up for adoption
It's heartwarming to know that the eighteen girls made a choice to learn from there mistake and to care of there babies 😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
These girls were just children having sex and getting pregant. They are two young to be having babies. The only way that these girls can have a life is if their parents help raise the baby so they can finish high school and get a job. They will still be part of their babies life. Another option is putting their babies up for adoption.
And now those babies are old enough to have babies. I had my kids when I was in my thirties. 15 year olds girls having babies can be grandparents in their thirties. (Like Karissa’s mom in this movie). Teenage girls need to know that as wonderful as babies are, they are a huge responsibility. Also, if you have a baby as a teenager you are giving up many things, university and travel for example.
@@lauriewu-jf5nhI also became a mom only in my 30s and married though I wanted a baby so much in my 20s only cos I thought it would make my then boyfriend of 6 years to commit(dumb mentality). I’m happy God didn’t allow it. What I can add to what you say they also loose out is the opportunity to know themselves. Because somehow once you bring a human/humans into this world it’s not that easy to focus on developing yourself unless you are wealthy to hire people to look after your baby.
I wanted a baby so bad when I was 17. Thank goodness my boyfriend (21) had enough sense to not let it happen. I'm now 33 and I know I would be a terrible mom. I just don't have the mental capacity for it. If I had one it would be for selfish reasons and I'm not willing to put a child through that just because I want a baby. Every single aspect of motherhood is terrifying to me lol
I don’t want any
I wanted babies when I met my bf at 19 and he told me we both weren't mature enough. I'm 26 now and we're still together but I'm glad he said that and made me understand why more . It would be the same for us but even more stressed out and with a baby that needs to be taken care of. while I can hardly take care of myself or clean the house fully it's not fair or responsible for any of us.

Jesse shares the blame. He's the one that loaded her up even tho she planned for it to be fruitful. He has to man up and at least share responsibility to his child.
I think you’re absolutely right. well that, or at least really consider putting that poor kid up for adoption.
Exactly, I don't know why no one hardly ever talks about the guys.
@@emmacherry2093 I’m really sure that’s the whole “ internalized sexism” speaking…
It is so weird to see how religious people see this. Oh teenage pregnancy bad, not married bad. But a baby is a gift of God. So how on earth does that make sense?
I think rose convinced them to have babies, making it seem like they are just something to carry around in your purse like those women with tiny dog's. Then the comment "you guys were jealous of me" 🤣
I agree! You cant just have babies and sport them around like tiny chihuahuas unless you are Paris Hilton or have her real estate, then you can pay babysitters and nurses to raise your child 24/7 then send him/her to boarding school in Switzerland.
Well she was the one that got pregnant first and was thinking the whole pregnancy and having a baby is a dream come true, but that's like a fantasy. Even strut around thinking false pros of having a baby instead of worrying about the cons with her own life and body, even thinking she's a celebreality with the media going on as she said in one part about being famous. She didn't see the true reality of having a baby and being a mother.
And look what happened to her in the end, had to have 37 number of stitches from a painful tore, yells, cries and refuse to hold her own baby like mentioned in one part, a screaming and crying baby and refused to drink her milk while breastfeeding, possibly dropped out at the end and having no clue to be a mother and what to do. Now she has to face the reality and consequences of being a mother and taking care of a baby, just as her grandmother said "Welcome to motherhood."
Lol well said @@Dontaskmia
These movies doesn't show alot of stuff that comes with pregnancy and life after pregnancy etc , having kids takes a huge toll on your body , there will be sleepless nights , dirty clothes ,lots of dirty diapers, no self time , body aches alot, younger girls will most likely drop out of school and get on welfare , struggling will be something most girls will get use to , the father of the kids will most likely not stick around
The spanish version ended differently, one girl revealed the reason why they made a pact : one of their friend got pregnant and the principal had threathened her to fire her from the school, so the girls all decided to be pregnant too as a sign of support.
[edit] Sorry I'm french, my vocabulary is limited, the word "expel" seems more approriate.

How would a student get fired?

i remember watching this movie ages ago when it came out! I don't know why youtube recommended this to me now but hey, it was a nice throwback.
It reminded me that I was dumb at 18 and I got pregnant with my daughter it was anything but easy
Most teens and even many adults aren't financially and emotionally prepared to take care of a child properly. Teens are learning to emotionally regulate their own emotions and learning who they are. Babies, toddlers, and children need constant emotional regulation and teens are stressed as is, having a rough time regulating themselves. Teens will have sex no matter what. Most by 17. Sex ed is important and boys and girls were taught the correct way to use condoms in my high school and they were passed out. Never was a pregnant teen. I was very careful. None of my classmates were condom free either.
What kind of a teenage girl is excited about being pregnant? It’s nothing to play around with because having a baby changes everything especially when you are in high school. I’m 29, married without kids…honestly I’m still scared to have a kid of my own. No rush though because we are enjoying being newlyweds
I think they're bored with high school and probably would prefer a traditional life. However, traditional people get married before having babies. They just marry young. Teenage girls who do this usually feel empty somewhere inside.
Congratulations on being a newly wed!
A great watch
Highly recommend it be shown in secondary schools 👏🏻
Im 24 & pregnant. Just kinda opened my eyes to how some younger women think. Good movie
I was pregnant at 35. You're still a kid
@@Jsal17 in your eyes. I have my own everything with no mommy & daddy money so. 🤷🏾♀️ lot of yall 30+ with childlike minds
You are a good friend of you and your family is chalquell Williams and I have a new phone number and email address for my kids and I have a wonderful day at school
@@ItsTeeziiwhile I don’t personally think 24 is too young for a child. From what I see, there’s still a lack of maturity to be have. And I tend to notice women do mature more than men. When a child’s in the picture, but you have to be able to know. That your life’s going to take a big shift. You no longer can just get up and do you. You have to think for 2.
@@Jsal17there shouldn’t be a comparison on what’s too young/old. They’re right. Age doesn’t make you a good/bad parent. Are there more variables to making you a “bad” parent while young? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you’re destined to be a bad parent.
As much as I think Jesse is at fault for not taking precautions. The fact that Sarah lied to him about not actively trying to get pregnant must have felt like a real betrayal. I doubt he could ever trust her again, hence why I don't blame him for dumping her. Hopefully he and Sarah end up working things out, and work out a co-parenting arrangement. What's done is done. He has to man up and not hold a grudge for the sake of his child.
Yes Jesse is as fault as well but he seemed to care about her. And she kept lying to him.
Yeah, I don't blame him for dumping her over lying but honestly-he should have wrapped it up if he wanted to make sure she didn't get pregnant. I also hope he'd be in the kid's life because it's not the baby's fault everything happened. I kind of feel he got off scot free and she is stuck raising the baby on her own.
I don't know why these girls wanted to get pregnant at such a young age just stupid
@@LookAtWow I think he will when the kid is older and wants to know who his father is and hopefully Jesse contacts him. Sarah really shouldn't have lied to him and get pregnant just to stay together. All that did was break them up.
I don't agree with the answers before. It's not only Sarah is to blame even she lied about the pact thing. Just think about how the hell could she trick Jesse if they did not use protection. Why is okay to buy a pregnancy test while it's so embarrassing to buy condoms? I personally think it's better to take precaution. So Sarah was delusional about having a baby - I think mostly because her friends talked her into it and she really wanted to fit in - and also Jesse was a complete idiot while not taking things seriously. Like is he really said "I should have pulled out every time..."? So convenient, it's not his body after all.
The moral and main focal point to this movie period is that things like this happens everyday if people do not tell their children the truth about the consequences when it comes to Sex. Sex is suppose to be a married adult kind of thing that is suppose to be kept in marriages, but that is not the world that we live in right now. Sex is not all romantic and sweet. Some people could contract STDS, HIV, AND GET PREGNANT ON THEIR FIRST TIME THAT WILL ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. SEX IS NOT A GAME NOR A JOKE RATHER YOU ARE A TEENAGER OR AN ADULTS.
I'm 28 yo , can't wait to be pregnant , i plan to do it before my 30s so wish me luck 🤞🏻 :P :p
Good luck:)
To tell you the real truth I wanted to give up my teenage years (14-16) wanting to get pregnant but it never happened or else my dad would have killed me alive
felt so bad for that baby she was on a machine because her mom decided smoking was so cool
Today, Sydney and Brady would be grandparents as their son would now be a twenty-plus years old grown man.
My opinion about this movie is let young woman face reality of motherhood and to work for what they want/need and let other people stop judging young woman because of pregnancies and “mistakes” they have made let them learn the way they want to be learned and make their own disitions and just experience motherhood and i think this should be played in Highschools in South Africa !!
This movie is beyond frustrating for so many reasons! Thx for uploading it. Lol
I hope none of y'all think your kid is gonna be your best friend, because your kid might grow up despising you, and disowning you as soon as they reach adulthood.
This! One day my daughter and I were close as ever. She turned 16 and decided she hated me 🤷🏻♀️ 🙃
@@katscratchfever3506 whoa, that must be hard. I was a jerk in jr.high, and decided at 13 that I hated my mom. But I grew up, and stopped feeling that way.
i was like tht .. im sorry u have to go thru this but things will be okay after she just finish with her teen life.. now im also slowly getting together with my mom . ♡ its going well.. @@katscratchfever3506
It's sad that so many parents refuse to talk about sex and the safety precautions they need to take when they do decide to have sex instead just saying wait wait wait. Not everyone wants to wait, and while it's not ideal, it's the truth, and it's better to teach them than let them learn the hard way.
in Canada, I remember when this hit the news back in the early '2000
The part that bugs me (and theres so many fractured lives right now) is the drinking while 0regnant 💔
This was in 2008 so it would have been the late 2000’s but yes I agree about the drinking.
All these young gjrls that have babies thinking its going to be something that keeps their boyfriend in the picture, or as an accessory - they have no idea what it takes. I was 19 when i had my first i am now 34 with 4 daughters, looking back 19 was very young! I was not mature enough and made mistakes. These girls need to realise the reality of becoming someomes mother for life not just when its comvenient
We need a part 2 because not only Jessie deserves happiness
Oh but I thought having their pact of pregnancies that surprise surprise led to an actual infant ie little human being that they’re now responsible for- for the rest of their lives! Such Happiness?! 🤔
At least the movie carries one right message.. Providing contraception is not a solution. Also they are not 100% efficient. And just preaching about abstinence doesn’t work either. Listening to teens and answering their questions with patience truthfully, is very very important.
Small town mentality has alot to do with it also. Its a cycle that parents have to break and have those hard conversations with their kids. Both daughters and sons. Ive been there and followed my mothers footsteps. I broke that cycle with my 3 daughters. ❤
The world is becoming crazier than ever 😢
I think it’s interesting how Sydney Fossey accused the mother of stating that she said that she doesn’t have the right to talk about young adults becoming pregnant, but she twisted the words of the mother, who actually said that she didn’t think that Cindy had any right to be judgmental against her, and had no right to talk to her about the situation to her directly because Cindy is not a mom
It takes two to tago. The boyfriend can't blame it all on sara
true, but Sara trying to baby trap him was 100% wrong
This is a good movie for parents of teenagers as well. Too many parents shame and act like their kids are terrible people for thinking about sex or wanting to be a parent. so instead of having an open, healthy dialogue about why those feelings aren't wrong but that it's good to wait anyways, the kids choose to do what they want behind their parents backs.
I remember when the news broke of the Pregnancy Pact. I was 23 with a 6-month-old. All I could think is, wow, they're crazy lol.
I got pregnant at 19... ironically .. a few weeks after mothers day.. Got pregnant in may.. 3 months before turning 20... had my kid in feb..6 months before turning 21.. and even THAT i felt is WAY too young... to me , i sill was a teenager.. because its Nine-TEEN, I have a son and now that im a parent im COMPLETELY terrified of this happening ...im now almost 29... with only ONE kid... if theres ANY thing im instilling in him is BE SAFE, and IDC if she says im "on the pill" UNLESS YOU SEE HER TAKING IT EVERY single day..at the same time.. DO NOT believe it.. IDC how much you "love her" people are dumb and crazy.. and trap people all the time, and i am NOT trying yo become a grandma at 35 or 36 years old.
I had my oldest at 19. Got pregnant at 18 and I was still in high school. It was not easy but I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
I support all Mom's and. All dad's it doesn't matter if you a teen or teenager or preteen or Young or adult male and female
I think it’s hilarious when her boyfriend who she is physically married to ask her if she got pregnant on purpose and she lies, but he is also at fault because he doesn’t understand that it takes two people to get pregnant and they didn’t really think about it all
The mother seems not really care. About her daughter. Going to a boys house. Without the parents being home. But. The dad shows concern
No matter how parents trying to raise their children right, these kids have mind of their own. They are easily influenced by their peers pushing away reality of life.
The one girl who says that she doesn’t want her boyfriend to know is a hypocrite because I don’t think she understands that given that he is the father he has a right to be involved in his kids life. I don’t think she understands that it takes two people to make a baby.
I went to highschool with a-lot of pregnant teens in my class and working at a daycare as young teen deff was the best birth control for me back then. I knew I didn’t want kids that young.
All her friends are pregnant and the mom is clueless
I got pregnant with my first son when I was 16. It was tough. I lived at home and I had some help from my parents.
Hope you're doing good now ❤
@@GrinninGarfield I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. BTW: my son is now 41 and has his family including 2 beautiful daughters ❤️
@@betsybeauchamp9640 Amazing 💗
@@ravenbaa7989 What is shameful?
This is my first time watching this…I’m 17, I learn at a Roman Catholic mission girls school in Zambia. Getting pregnant whilst in this school leads to a forced transfer….so I’m extremely scared of getting pregnant, plus labour is so painful! Omg…I just can’t imagine myself getting pregnant
Then don’t have sex until you can imagine yourself getting pregnant because that’s what it’s for. Plain and simple. Birth control fails, good luck getting an abortion in a catholic community. Stay abstinent, trust me.
I’ve watched this before it should be show every year to students
Just putting this out there for teenagers , i wish i abstained. Trust me it saves you a lot of headache,unnecessary trauma and drama. From a just no longer a teenager. Honey you can survive without sex at this age, infact you thrive without it.
There are better things to throw that innocence at.
Hold on to it please 🙏
I too wish my husband was my first and my only. I had such a low self esteem at 14 that I truly believed my only hope was those who were dogs
Im still a teenager and im not pregnant or have kids bc i wanna wait on that theres more to life then to have kids at younge age to other teens out there just wait till your older to have kids or you will end up like the girls in this movie,and i rather have alife before i have any kids...just think about this movie as a life lesson and im 16 thats got a big life ahead of me.
I decided to never have a child, because there is no "right" time and so many people get angry about the most natural. And I am so happy without it. I don't have the worries, I have free time, I don't have pain. And I don't need to be with a guy who makes my life a living hell (as they do already, although it is just a little bit of family).
The town I live in is/was the teen pregnancy capital of Australia.
People becoming grandparents at 30yo is normal.
I'm Australian. I'll have to google the town.

I was never embarrassed to buy condoms. I always said, that if that embarasses you then you're not mature enough to be sexually active. At least these days you can order online so that can help lol
I am scared of getting pregnant knowing that i am not financially stable. If i dont get everything sorted out, i may never get pregnant. Especially the fact that i don't believe in marriage.
Children having children like playing with dolls. Those girls parents are the ones that would end up financially supporting and raising those children. What a crazy world! Some being careless, getting pregnant then having abortions as birth control and others irresponsibly having children.
On the other hand even parents who are 30 can be irresponsible or bad parents.
Sarah was mad selfish. She never listened to Jesse who clearly wanted to go to college, and called his baseball “stupid.” He was wrong for not using a condom though.
Omg, this is exactly what I am thinking. 100% yes. Sarah is selfish and made Jessie look like the selfish one. I am very sorry for him. Although he should have used protection which I think is very important. It’s the fault of both of them. I am not sure about their position, if Jessie helps her with the baby but he should at least a bit. That’s all I wanted to say, thanks for the comment ❤
I can say from experience that saying abstinence is the solution, you just add shame to it and kids will hide it and be unsafe. Teach it as an anatomy class
Kids are so eager to grow up way too fast
100%. I was keen on moving out and getting a job but not the pregnancy and marriage side of growing up. I could not wait to start life as an adult.
I had my daughter August 2008 i was 18. It was not easy my ANY means. This movie still triggers me. Being a parent is anything but easy much less being a teen parent. My daughter is now 15 and i want so much more for her
I had my daughter July 2009 at 18 and I seen this I think when she was 2 or 3. She's 14 now and I have open candid conversations with her and my 9 year old son. I want them to graduate HS, go to collage, go to the club (something I've still never done) and just get themselves set up for life and have a loving partner. I'm not with either of their father's and I want their path to look a lot different than mine
As an 19 year old kid who wanted kids in my early teens im glad i didn't cus now i watch kids at 14,15,and 16 have kids and i think why? Why have kids when ur a kid yourself
I wanted the same😭 thankfully i didn’t because i wouldn’t have been able to give my child the best chance at life… i am now 19 turning 20 next month and im currently pregnant!! not the most ideal but at least i can now saw im more adult and im financially stable enough to bring my lil bean into the world in march🥹🥰
Thank GOD I raised my dad raised me right and I raised my daughter right! This level of stupidity was never an issue for us! Educate your kids and stop giving so much freedom!
lack of freedom just simply makes kids sneaky.
Contraception is so important which can save oneself from a live of burden than choice & STDs ofcourse. It cant be underscored more!
No, it’s not in this case. Since the girls really wanted to get pregnant, that was your goal to begin with what they need is a good dose of therapy in common sense.
I completely agree. This fil must be a must for all high schools . Great movie.
