Trivia
To keep the film as realistic and current and possible, most of the discussions in the health-class discussion scenes were improvised by the actors. Jane Krakowski would simply name a topic and the young actors would answer honestly.

Goofs
When Jacey is playing the DVD that Macy gave her, it says "For Charlie" on the DVD, but in the opening scene of the video it says "For Charley." The movie credits say that the baby's name is spelled Charley, meaning the name on the DVD is spelled wrong.

Quotes
Macy: And now you're the screw-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 pregnant".
Jacey Jeffries: Shut up!

16-year-old Jacey Jeffries is a teen mother of a 5-month old baby, who has to go through her life holding a secret. she pretends that her son, Charley, is her mother's child.

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.
