Teen dads' point of view

Description

This program examines teenage pregnancy from the teenage father's point of view. It is an in-depth look at the attitudes of young men toward sex, birth control, and teenage fatherhood. Teen pregnancy, its cost to society, and the plight of young mothers and their newborns are discussed, along with how most young fathers deal with the reality of a pregnant girlfriend. A final section examines the role of teenage fathers in child-rearing, and discusses ways in which they can learn better parenting skills and become more involved. However, the message here is clear: teenage parenting is difficult at best, and teens should seriously consider sexual abstinence.
