I became a mother at 19. I was very fortunate that my now husband was committed to me and our child, he was so happy and has been the most amazing father ever! We were on WIC through my pregnancy and about until my son was 2. I also signed up for Medicare and have been on it for years now. I am very happy and our son is so intelligent and kind.
Its crazy that these girls back then just wanted "something to love and hold". What kind of childhood did they have to believe having a baby would fix their loneliness and isolation I wonder? I know humans are social creatures but bringing another human being in the world that you will be responsible for during the next 18-25 years is a huge gamble over an emotion. I'm really hoping that this cycle has at least slowed to less than 10% in the next year because even during this pandemic I am seeing round bellies on teen faces.
The CIA had pumped drugs into the black communities so alot of kids parents were strong out on drugs, so they thought having a baby would fill that void.
In 1993, I was 14. I couldn't imagine. I wound up pregnant at 17, delivered my son at 18. He will be 24 on the 16th of this month (June). He definitely wasn't planned. But I am forever thankful for him.

@@annieroydube I had my son at 24 and I had help from my sons dad and both our families and it was still so hard and I come from an upper middle class family. Just giving you my opinion
i feel like the interviewer is so rude and judgmental. As young adults, we are still learning and growing. With such a cruel reality, we need all the kindness and encouragement we can get
right? then she sits there with the girls and their babies like they should be ashamed of it or something. Bro, it's a new baby. Say congratulations geez.
@NumberNeverLie ummm..they SHOULD! That's the problem...we don't condone shaming anymore. It IS shameful to be 15 years old sitting there with a newborn and smiling like it's funny. You see what society looks like now and it's these young mothers who raised these deviants that are murdering and raping in record numbers!
@@NumberNeverLiethis attitude is what’s the problem. Congratulations on what? Being a single parent. Life on extra hard mode? Poverty? Let’s close our legs and use our brains.
It breaks my 💔😔, to see these teens had to struggle back in the 1990s, I had my cousin who had twin girls at the age of 20 back in 2015 and sadly I had to step in as a cousin to be there for her and her twins and as an uncle I been to them father figure to my nieces and since then they call me daddy instead of uncle
Somebody told me that the teen pregnancy was a skyrocket in the late 90s and early ‘00s I turned around and said “Yea you right about that but the early 90s in teen pregnancy talk to me later”
Abortion would hurt more than child labor.😂 People truly need more education on sex and reproductive healthcare. This documentary would most definitely scare young girls of teen pregnancy. I’m an adult watching this documentary and it made me sad for these young girls.😢
The girls in the south were gettin' pregnant left and right you be like "WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON HERE!!!!" yoing girls in the south durin' the 90s thinkin' they were grown and actin' fast so hell next minute boom "She Pregnant Everybody" the teen pregnancy rate in the 90s was so damn high but as the 2000s hit the the teen pregnancy rate was off the meter
Teenage pregnancy is a growing concern because mental health problems is a pervasive problem...So we can say parenting can be a huge problem in our society... Many children are abused, neglected and abandoned nowadays...
No she doesn't. These idiots aren't fragile. They won't break. These girls are ignorant. They need the harsh reality check. Glad this interviewer is brash and not handling them with kid gloves. Just worthless selfish brats that now their community has to support
@@jackycook64 seriously, shes not harsh, these girls can barely answer a question in a coherent sentence i mean, they're not giving the reporter much material to work with...
I know that this focuses on the girls because they are the ones that deliver the babies but this whole documentary is very insensitive and this interviewer is super rude and condescending. Maybe you could do a where are they now?
My mom had my older brother at 17 and had me at 37 im 21 with no kids my brother had my now 20 year old nephew at 20 and just last month my nephew just became a father about 2 weeks before his 20th birthday
@Waiting for this evil world to end that's your opinion and its far away from being true now I say that not everyone deserves to be a parent but there's people out here that can't have kids and would love to be a parent who see kids being abused by people that got that opportunity to be a parent (hopefully I don't turn out to be one when I decide to have kids) but kids are a blessing and an amazing opportunity to the right people.
@Waiting for this evil world to end you're parents decided to have you so what your saying is your whole family is also wrong for bringing kids into this world too all the great people that discovered new things and put laws in place so that the world could be just a little bit balanced its wrong that they were born too right its wrong that jesus was born too right every person that was meant to be born so that certain things could be brought to people through them only its wrong that they were brought into this world too MLK and rosa parks its wrong that they were born but without them black people would still be treated like shit to this day just because they were born with a different skin color that they didn't choose you can't say that bringing kids into this world is wrong when certain people were born to have a specific task in life that the world needed to have in place.
I was a teenager in the late 90’s early 2000’s in rural WNC. In High School 6 of my close girlfriends had babies (one had twins!) Evangelicals had spent decades indoctrinating us young girl that abortion was the worst thing and birth control was a sin. Add to that the abstinence movement in Baptist Churches “True Love Waits” and you have kids afraid to talk abt birth control. I remember a Sunday morning service where the Pastor asked us youth to come to the front to sign an abstinence pledge in front of the entire church! I was abt 14 and thought it was a ridiculously inappropriate thing. My Mom was a feminist so I was lucky. She didn’t preach the church’s social views especially ant women, sex was not a moral issue so we talked more openly abt it. She focused on how a child would hinder my academic future. I went on birth control @ 17 and I never had an unexpected pregnancy.
I got pregnant at 15. It was a real struggle. I am doing fine now. But i try and let these young girls know once you become a Mom your life will forever change.
@@Cupcake123CupcakkeMy mother was abusive. I didn't become pg. I dated at 13-16, fooled around but nothing too serious!! Dnt tell me a girl at this age cnt think for herself! No excuses!
I don’t think teens having babies is a bad thing. Having a baby and not being ready for it is. Stop infantilizing lol just saying…America western thinking lol

They wanted a baby to dress like a baby doll look at like a baby doll .. she just wants a baby not a family like many lost souls

What you really need is the BELT! Spare the rod spoil the child. Tough love is what you need. And DISCIPLINE!
This documentary seems very unsympathetic. "You just wanted to have sex?" That is so rude. No pressure on the boys who got that pregnant.
