Quotes:

Macy: And now you're the screwed up and I'm the good kid. I'm the one who they can point to and say "This is our good child. She only gets B's and C's, but she's the one who didn't get pregned".
Jacey Jeffries: Shut up!

AMAZING and touching story

This was the most amazing and touching movie I ever saw. I'm a teenager who's mom got pregnant at a young age and she tells me nothing about her troubles as a pregnant teen so I think that this movie was very helpful and inspirational. When this girl got pregnant, she was faced with humiliation and the fact of raising a child but through it all she got to see what was right and I was just touched by this movie. If I ever got pregnant and gave the child up, I couldn't forgive myself but it was good to see that she could be a role model to all teenagers who want or have a baby. The fact that there are people who are trying to have a baby and can't and people who have a baby that don't want it is a fact that everybody should know.
