Kids Having Kids: Teenage Pregnancy

This hard-hitting documentary uses interviews with several girls, their boyfriends, parents, counselors, teachers, and other professionals to examine one of the most critical issues facing young Americans today. The program looks at the facts on adolescent sexual behavior and their attitudes toward birth control. Although the emphasis is focused on the mother-to-be, the program also studies the parental obligations of the male and stresses the need for open communication and realistic decision making. The impact on all the parties involved and the available options are presented to help teenagers make responsible decisions about sex "before" an unwanted pregnancy occurs.
