Inside the lives of children having children

Description

As teen pregnancy rates rise in the U.S., this ABC News program follows four families coping with the day-to-day realities of the issue. Case studies come from Massachusetts, where a teen couple tries to raise their six-month-old son together; from Kentucky, where a 14-year-old girl attends a school designed for pregnant teens; from Washington State, where a senior quarterback has impregnated his school's homecoming queen, subsequently ignoring her; and from Texas, where a young mother in labor cries out for her own mom when her contractions intensify. The program also studies two disparate schools of thought on combating teen pregnancy-one highlighting abstinence, the other safe sex.
