The daunting reality of unprepared teens facing the task of becoming parents while they are still children themselves is thoughtfully explored in this powerful video. Teen parenthood affects everyone: the teens themselves, their families, as well as our schools, healthcare networks and beyond. In this unique program, several teen parents share their experiences and talk frankly about the magnitude of changes they have faced as a result of their earlier sexual experiences. Themes include the pain of childbirth, the startling changes to their post-partum bodies, the anger and heartache of being ignored by "no-show" fathers, the exhausting commitment of focusing all their time and energy on their infants, and their regrets about being unable to further their educations or career goals. In addition, a doctor discusses the physical risks related to teen pregnancy and premature or underweight birth, as well as the importance of proper birth control.

Includes: video, teacher's resource book and student handouts with pre/post test.
