Editorial Review:
Homework, the prom, getting a driver's license. These are the problems most teens face. Diapers, sleepless nights, no more freedom - ever. These are the problems some teens face - the subject of these frank and poignant Lifetime movies that unveil the compelling reality of teen parenthood. Mom at Sixteen is the story of Jacey (Danielle Panabaker of Empire Falls), a high school junior with a secret: her infant brother is really her son. Jacey struggles with living a lie... and with doing what's best for her baby. Too Young to Be a Dad examines the often-forgotten drama of the teenage father. Paul Franklin Dano (The Ballad of Jack and Rose) plays a quiet honor student who's torn by his family's pain, his sense of responsibility and his once-shining future. Two sensitive stories - two fateful decisions.

Mom at Sixteen/Too Young to Be a Dad Reviews:
Great plot, story line...A must have for any parent of a teenager 
2007-01-14 - This movie was exellent and I think any pre teen or teenager from ages 11 and up should have to watch this movie because you will learn a lot. Many parents don't know that their children are having sex at a young age and don't care to get involved before it is too late. Also some of the ones that are having sex lie to their parents and/or wont discuss it and this is a good way to get invloved with your child life without embarrasing them. This movie is a realization for me and I am only 22 years old but this movie will make you realize it's best to wait before having kids, because they come first and it would be selfish to have a child if you are not ready and to understand that the child comes first. This is what this movie is about, a girl having a child while struggling to stay in school and maintain good grades and the very doubt of ever being able to go to college and having the life that she always dreamed of. The plot of this movie kept me interested untill the very end and it was a very good movie. I would recommend this to teachers to play in school and parents to buy for there teenagers! I don't have kids but this was a TOTAL realization for me and I wished that I would have seen this movie sooner!! I saw this on Lifetime but I am buying it to show my kids one day because I feel that it is important. This movie really can change your teens life, it did mine!
review of Mom At Sixteen 
2006-10-24 - I wondered if it was written by someone from the team behind My So-Called Life. I mean if it was it would have been written as an assignment for a paycheck, but the treatment of the material was much more detailed and less PSAish than I've ever seen before, especially for a made for tv movie. The dichotomy of the post-pregnancy teen's jaded attitude towards sex and the rest of the class' rabid enthusiasm for discussing it is very effective. The plight of the infertile woman is depicted well by introducing her as a teacher and a person first and then later revealing her situation rather than just presenting her as a one-dimensional representation of an affliction. The way this film lets the characters exist before and outside of the "issues" they respesent is what sets it apart.
Good movie for teens.
2006-08-14 - I bought this just for being a DVD. It really turned out that, Mom at Sixteen is really good for an eye opener for the Girls and Too Young to Be a Dad is really an Eye opener for the Boys. Of course I am not a Parent, but still good movies.

2006-06-26 - The movies where great and very educational!!!!! More Teens Should take this into consitoration I am 11 and I know more about sex and teen pregnancy then most teens do and if you have noticed the age of teen pregnancy has gotten even younger like 9 - 18!!! It is very sad to see for instance if you go into a middle school or high school you will see some pregnante girls or boys talking about how they got so and so pregnante last night or a week ago!!!! It's very sad I would hate to see our generation torn to peices because of this !!!
Your girl,

2006-05-18 - I Have not yet seen the DVD, but I watched it on TV once and I really liked it. I really want to get just this movie without the other movie. This movie really touched my heart. As soon as I started watching it and couldn't stop. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen!
