I've just watched Mom at Sixteen for the second time in two days. It's a pretty good film. It's this story about a girl who became a mom at sixteen [hence the title], but still tries to live a normal life as a teenager. She faces unforseen challenges as people at her new school find out that the baby who she's been calling as her brother actually turns out to be her son. The film leaves an important message. It shows how dire the consequences could be if teenagers continue to have premarital sex. Kids can't take care of kids. Heck, the only people most teens know how to take care of are themselves. What more little kids who need to be waited on hand and foot? [here enters teenstar's erik erikson's psychosomethingsomething: trust vs mistrust] Most of us will probably get married and have kids someday, but that can wait. Studies should come first. So many futures and dreams have been flushed down the drain because of impatience.
