When I sat down to watch this it was purely because I had nothing else to do; this subject area's been done to death. Unlike anything else I've seen, this film showed the young mother's perspective and I could actually feel Jacey's pain as she didn't know whether she'd rather have her baby or keep her secret. I also think it showed the incredible sacrifices mothers will make; most other films and programmes about this subject show cold mothers who either kick their daughters out or resent them if they stay, which is not always the case. I would recommend this film to anyone and I hope to see Danielle Panabaker in something else soon as her acting is second-to-none.

From another comment..."This teacher is being portrayed as very jealous woman. A woman who is jealous of young sixteen-year-olds that can get pregnant. YEAH thats something to be jealous over being pregnant and sixteen. This movie is just not realistic!!"She's jealous because she and her husband are infertile. Not because she wants to be 16 and pregnant. Not being able to conceive and have children when you want to is very traumatic. Especially as a woman. It makes you feel like you're broken or faulty. Women are "supposed" to be able to get pregnant. Her jealousy is reasonable, whether or not it may seem like it on the surface. I see people getting pregnant all the time. By mistake. Or even purposeful pregnancies, where they're terrible parents. And it always makes me angry. Because people who actually want to have kids who physically can't have to jump through hoops and pay out the *ss to do it. While you can be 14, poor as dirt, and have a kid just because you have a uterus. It's ridiculous.

This movie is completely amazing! I'll start with the storyline. The storyline in itself is awesome, never mind the actors. Jacey is a 16 year old girl who has had a beautiful baby boy, in secret. Her mother thought that it would be best that they kept it a secret and not to tell the father, so they did. Jacey was supposed to put the baby up for adoption but when push came to shove she just couldn't give her Son away, so her mum decides that she will raise the baby and Jacey will just go back to High School and lead a normal life, like it never happened. They move away but nothing changes, Jacey still wants her baby, she wants to be a mother. Throughout the movie it shows you the lives of two of her teachers, coach bob and Mrs cooper her councillor who are married. They have been trying for a baby for a year and cannot conceive, they were going to adopt a baby but the birth mother changed her mind at the last minute. Jacey becomes close to this family, although at the start she doesn't seem to want to know them. At the end of the movie, Jacey realises what is best for her son and lets the Coopers adopt him but she is a strong part of his life.Danielle Parabaker plays Jacey so well, you can definitely connect with the character. Now, I next to never cry but at the end when Jacey decides to let the Coopers adopt her son,Charley, is so sad but yet happy. It made me cry because I felt like I could relate to her, like I was giving away my son, thats where Danielle really shows her true talent. I totally lost it at the very end when they were making the home video of Charley's first day at Kindergarden, I was in tears the whole scene!! Defiently recommend this movie!

i love how this movie shows what can happen if you are a teen mother, and if people find out. i think it was heartwarming and some points honestly brought tears to my eyes. Danielle Panabaker gives a great performance in this movie. this movie, to me, is an excellent thing for teens and their parents to watch. even people who aren't teenagers yet may like this movie. this can really show you that having sex as a teen, or even preteen, has it's consequences. all in all, i really like this movie a lot.lifetime is doing a great job by using such hot, young actors/actresses in their movies. i most definitely give this movie two thumbs up and five gold stars.
