- [Amber] We all know why I'm pregnant.
- Why?
- [Amber] Because you don't like condoms.
And I was too stupid to make you put one on.
- [Gary] I never said I didn't like condoms.
- My name is Catelynn.
I'm 16 and I'm from Algonac, Michigan,
a small town right across the river from Canada.
During the winter there's absolutely
nothing to do around here.
Unless you like ice fishing.
That's my boyfriend, Tyler.
We've been together since 7th grade.
You're a little flirt, especially in music class.
- We used to write notes back to each other.
- Yeah.
My family situation is totally chaotic.
- [Man] Let's get her done.
- I lived in 13 different houses since I was born.
I hate moving.
My mom is pretty unpredictable,
and she can be really moody.
- Bitch.
- She does her best, but I never know
if she'll really be there for me.
My mom ended up driving drunk last night
and got pulled over.
And went to jail.
Tyler's life has been hard too.
His dad Butch has been in and out of prison
for most of his life.
Even though Tyler and I are used to surprises,
nothing could have shocked us more
than when our parents fell in love, and then got married.
So technically we're step-siblings,
but we say that they're the weird ones,
because we were dating first.
Even though it seems like a recipe for drama,
for the most part everyone gets along.
But it's about to get a whole lot crazier around here,
because I'm pregnant.
We're still juniors in high school,
and we're not sure we're ready to be parents.
So we're talking about adoption.
What did you do when you found out you were pregnant?
- She cried.
- No I cried for a second. - You cried too, Tyler.
- I did cry, I was so scared and then--
- It's like, I've got something growing in me.
- You've got something growing in you.
- And that something turned out to be a baby girl.
I don't really know what I'm gonna do.
Me and Tyler talked about like keeping it
but there's not really a lot of
good things about keeping it.
Like there is, but there isn't.
- Yeah.
- There's scary things about adoption
but I mean like parenting, I mean that's even scarier.
- Dude how'd you end up getting pregnant anyways,
didn't you use condoms?
- Yeah I did, I used them and they got washed
in the washing machine.
- And now you pregnant.
- Here's my life now.
- I'm Chelsea, and my life is all about having fun.
(laughing)
I live in Vermillion, South Dakota
and I'm really close with both of my parents.
But since they got divorced a few years ago
I mostly live with my dad.
Because I'm a total daddy's girl.
Can we make this?
- Squash?
- I've been wanting it all day.
My dad really gets me.
Except when it comes to my boyfriend Adam.
Adam like changed his Facebook status
and it was like, I wish Chelsea wasn't such a whore
and didn't want all my friends and just wanted me.
- Well then I suppose we don't need to talk to him anymore,
do we?
Ever.
With me and Adam there's always drama.
He usually has a problem with whatever I do
and whoever I do it with.
Are you going, Jax?
- [Jax] I have no idea.
- Well I'll probably go, if that's okay.
- I don't know about that one.
- No matter how much drama we may have,
he's in my life for good now.
Because I'm pregnant.
I don't really know what to expect,
all I know for sure is I'm having a girl
and we're naming her Aubree.
- When you go back do you think
people will be shocked like at how big you are?
Or like, does everybody know?
- I'm pretty sure everybody knows.
Like I think everybody knows.
- What are you gonna do with Aubree?
- I'll probably just put her in daycare.
Unless you want to like, quit school
and come be my nanny.
- Totally.
- Hey.
(laughing)
I don't think I'm scared of giving, having her.
Like giving birth.
- I'm scared for you.
- [Chelsea] You are?
- Yeah.
- I don't want to poop when I push her out.
(laughing)
I seriously asked my doctor about it.
- [Megan] What did she say?
- She said oh it's normal, we won't tell you if you do.
I was like--
- I would want to know.
- No, I don't want to know, I'll be all embarrassed.
You better not tell me.
(laughing)
- [Megan] I won't.
- If you start laughing I'm kicking you out.
You'd be scared--
- If I was pregnant and I was pushing out a baby
and I started pooping,
you would laugh your ass off.
- Shut up.
- You would. - Not if we're in the moment.
- I'm Kailyn, I'm a high school senior
from Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
- Wow you look like a princess.
- I am a princess Kendra.
When I was six months old my dad left
and I haven't seen him since.
My mom's always struggled to hold down a steady job,
boyfriend, and home.
She's currently living in a hotel with her new boyfriend.
Which doesn't leave much room for me.
- Hi honey.
- Did you find any apartments yet?
- Well.
I'm not gonna jump into purchasing a house now,
I mean that's a huge investment.
- If I had to rely on my mom, I'd be lost.
Thankfully I met my boyfriend Jo.
- You know I love you, right?
- Yeah I know.
We've been dating for nine months,
and since I had no where else to live,
his family invited me to move in with them.
- Are you gonna cut it?
- Since my mom's rarely around,
Jo's mother Janet is like a second mom to me.
- Good job, go ahead, keep cutting it.
- Ever since Jo and I started sharing a bedroom,
we've been really cramped and it's caused a lot of tension.
Can you get out of the bathroom, I'm getting ready.
And things are about to get even more crowded,
because I'm pregnant.
Jo's being really negative
which makes it worse for me.
We're going shopping for baggy clothes,
because aside from family and a few close friends,
I'm trying to hide the pregnancy.
I'm not ready to tell anybody yet.
- I'd rather just tell everybody and get it over with.
- I know but I wouldn't even know how to tell anybody.
- Hi I'm pregnant.
- I would never say that.
- I guess bigger clothes will help cover it up.
- I'm glad Jo's coming shopping with me.
We don't do much together these days,
but getting out of the house seems to help us get along.
- You wanna try a different size?
- I can try that one, I don't know.
Alright, do you think I look fat?
- No I don't think so.
- Do you thin it will hide a pregnancy?
- Why do you want to hide it?
- Well I'm just like not ready to tell people at school.
- Okay.
- Thinking like maybe black will hide it,
because it's supposed to make you look skinnier.
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
- So how far along are you?
- Almost, I'll be six months on Tuesday.
- Soon you're not gonna be able to hide it.
(laughing)
- I know.
Well I'm thinking maybe I won't get
that much bigger than this.
- Alright next up, Cheyenne.
- I'm gonna take Chuck.
- [Host] Bringing Chuck.
Chuckie.
(cheering)
- Welcome.
I like the hair, and the tattoos.
I like all flavors, so I'm a little swirl.
- There's dolphins right there,
there's dolphins already here guys.
- Oh they're so (beep) cute though!
- Yeah!
- [Girl] Let's do it.
- Chey you coming in?
- Alright.
I tried to puke cute.
I took my pants off and did it from behind
so I was hoping people would just
focus on my ass and not me throwing up.
- Hey my name is Leah, I'm 17 years old
and I live in the mountains of West Virgina
in a small town called Elkview.
My house is pretty crowded,
there's my brother, sister, and my mom.
My dad left when I was little,
so I really don't know him.
Me and my mom are really close,
she spoils me rotten because I'm her first born.
That's Reagan, that's Rachel, that's me,
and that's Alyssa.
We're pretty much inseparable.
We're all on the cheerleading team,
and this year is our senior year of high school.
This is Corey, he drove me home from a party one night
and one thing led to another.
Corey is two years older than me,
but I'm definitely more mature.
Why don't you listen to me?
We just started dating, and we're
still getting to know each other.
I don't know if we're gonna make it,
but we're trying to stay together and work it out because.
- Light it.
- I lit it, look it's lighted.
- It's lighted. - Lighted.
- I'm pregnant.
With twins.
Me and Corey's relationship got set on the fast track,
that's for sure.
Corey was just supposed to be a rebound for me,
because when we met I'd just got out
of a three year long relationship.
At first things were great and we had fun.
Oh my god Corey.
- I didn't do anything.
- But we were only dating one month before I got pregnant.
It's a lot of pressure because
we hardly even know each other
and now we're having twins.
- Most of the time we think,
oh if I get pregnant I'll have a kid,
and that'll be alright but you never think
you're gonna have two kids.
- Yeah I know, yeah I know.
- And two kids are gonna be twice as expensive.
So I flip out about that.
- [Leah] Twice the amount of diapers, twice the amount.
- Twice the everything.
- Everything.
- It's gonna be rough.
All because one fun night in my truck.
- It's sad.
- It's your fault.
- Corey shut up, really, you shut up.
- You're the one who said your shot was still good.
(laughing)
You said oh it never happened before.
- Okay no because, it doesn't,
it's never affected it before.
You know, if you miss it after a month or so
it's fine to like--
- But you ain't never been with a man before.
(laughing)
- Oh yeah, okay, you're some kind of man here.
- I think we're getting used to it, to everything.
- No I think we're just getting used to each other,
for god sakes, it was what a month?
And we're bam pregnant.
- Yeah.
- It's kind of funny though that like
I'm the first,
like real relationship that you had.
- Yeah.
- And we're pregnant.
- Yeah I know.
- Must be kind of hard.
- It is.
I wasn't ready for that yet.
- It's hard for me too,
because I was used to like
you know, don't get mad for saying this,
but like knowing somebody really well.
Being with somebody for two years and not getting pregnant
and then being with somebody for a month and then,
bam you're pregnant.
- Hi I'm Jenelle and I'm from Oak Island, North Carolia,
where the surf is good and the fishing is even better.
It's summer, so I spent all my time at the beach,
or out partying since I'm not in school.
- You want to just run out every night, you can't do that.
- My mom and I fight a lot
about how much I go out,
and especially about my boyfriend Andrew.
- What's his plan to just come around
once in a while and hang out here and smoke his cigarettes.
- We've been together for three years.
- I remember the first time I met you,
I didn't say nothing to you I just went up
and grabbed you and kissed you.
- And my friends think he's bad news,
because despite having been a model,
he currently has no job, no car,
and he lives with his parents four hours away.
- I had my cars, I had my money,
I had, you know, I had two apartments in New York.
- And now you live with your parents.
- Yeah.
- But everyone better get used to him,
since we're in it forever now,
because I'm pregnant.
Eight months along my pregnancy is not exactly a secret
but for a while it was.
I did not want to tell my mom.
- Remember I kept saying to you, are you pregnant?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Remember?
Because you knew.
- Yeah I knew I knew.
I just didn't tell you.
- I know.
- I just figured you would find out by yourself.
- Well I found out alright,
the day I walked in and you were taking a bath
and I walked in on you and I said,
I looked at you and said Jenelle you're pregnant.
- Yeah because you caught me off guard.
- And you go no I'm not.
I said well I'm buying a pregnancy test
and made you take them.
It was very upsetting, I was very upset, but.
- Can't do nothing about it now.
- Thank you.
Hey, my name is Maci.
I'm 16, I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
and I'm a total over achiever.
I get good grades, I play softball, and I'm even
on the cheerleading squad.
But don't let that fool you, I do have a wild side.
I'm all about dirt bikes.
My boyfriend Ryan started chasing me when I was a sophomore.
I wasn't into him at first, because he rides four wheelers,
which to me are not cool.
But eventually he swept me off my feet.
He even put a ring on my finger.
All my friends are psyched for senior year,
but I'm graduating early and moving in with Ryan,
because I'm pregnant.
- Hey. - Hey.
Whatcha doing?
- Nothing.
My high school friends still live at home
with their parents, so they think it's really cool
I have my own place.
I bought that couch with my own money.
- Did you? - You're serious?
- Yes.
I saved up my $7 an hour paychecks.
- Let's see Bentley's room.
- Okay, Bentley's room.
It's very messy.
- Oh my gosh, these are all of his clothes?
- Yes, he has a million.
- Oh look at his crib.
Look at his little onesies that are like hardcore.
- We're having a boy,
and we're gonna name him Bentley.
(gentle guitar music)
- Maci, how did you tell your mom you were pregnant?
- Through text message.
(laughing)
- That's awful.
I would have just like never told my parents.
(chattering)
- Just like say, what'd you say, I'm pregnant?
- I was sitting in class
and I said hi mom, she said hi.
I said I have to tell you something.
Took a few deep breaths, and then
I texted I'm pregnant to her.
And she said well if you're joking it's not funny
if you're for real, we are not having this conversation
via text message, yeah.
And then when I got home my dad and my mom
were sitting at the kitchen table waiting on me.
- Were you crying?
- Right when I walked in I wasn't crying
but my mom got up from the table and hugged me
and then we like both started crying.
And then it was awful, it was sad.
- And you never cry.
- I know.
- [Girl] Ever.
- Me too, it's okay.
- My name is Amber, and I'm just your typical teen
from Anderson, Indiana.
My best friend Kayla and I entertain ourselves
the best way we can in this small town.
My boyfriend Gary and I have been together for three years.
He's a certified nursing assistant
and he spends his spare time playing video games.
So how did I meet Gary?
That's a good one.
You see Gary graduated high school
with my older brother, Shawn, who's in Iraq now.
One day when I was in 10th grade,
Gary called the house looking for Shawn
and guess who answered?
Hello.
- Is Shawn home?
- Nope, he's out shooting squirrels.
(gunshot)
- Amber?
- Gary?
- Amber, who are you talking to?
- [Amber] It's Gary.
- What does he want?
- Mom, dad, and my brother,
were not too happy when I started dating Gary.
- You're still a little baby to me, Amber.
- So you can imagine the reaction when I laid
this one on them.
I'm pregnant.
A baby is coming out of my freaking (beep), dude.
- It's your fault.
- Are you serious? - It's a way of life.
- [Amber] We all know why I'm pregnant.
- Why?
- Because you don't like condoms.
And I was too stupid to make you put one on.
- [Gary] I never said I didn't like condoms.
- We may not have planned on having a baby,
but we're definitely keeping her,
so we decided to move in together.
♪ Hello hello hello hello hello ♪
No, get our feet off the couch.
I just washed those.
- [Ashley] She looks like an alien.
- Yes!
My best friends are taking it pretty well.
I might not have time to go to the mall
and do my nails, but we still have lots to talk about.
- How are you gonna decorate the baby's room?
- We're gonna make like a big collage
and hang it above the baby carriage.
It's called a carriage right?
- Sure.
- What's it called?
(laughing) - Crib?
- Crib!
That thing.
You need to know that I never thought
I'd be here right now talking about a crib.
I didn't even want kids.
Before I got pregnant, I was a rebel at school.
I dressed different than the cheerleaders
and I was a total party girl.
But that life is ancient history
