I also think it's great that it gives a boys opinion on the issue, because most of the time they don't stick around to give any input.Alex H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12920618351302263562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-62856525152875762622009-12-06T20:11:03.015-06:002009-12-06T20:11:03.015-06:00I like how you addressed the fact that when a teen...I like how you addressed the fact that when a teen girl gets pregnant, many people are affected. I think if more teens thought about the fact that the pregnancy involves numerous people, not just the couple, they may think twice.T.

I also like the fact that it presents the fathers side not just the mothers.

I think often times we sometimes forget about the male's side of things since the pregnancy part only is solely revolved around girls. And you're right, people get so caught up with babies that they sometimes forget all the hard work and effort that comes along with the cuteness. I like the idea of this book because it is written from so many different sides. I think that helps illustrate that teenage pregnancies affect a lot more people than just the mother.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472434688726759144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-67563781241007583672009-12-02T09:54:32.764-06:002009-12-02T09:54:32.764-06:00This book sound really interesting!

I feel like at times we educators skip over those issues because of our own discomfort and these are topics that are real for some of our teens today. The fact that it gives the view points of some of the males involved is great because teen pregnancy is an issue that affects young men and women but often the young women are the central focus.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034455310263818630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-16930338126614478882009-12-02T09:54:32.080-06:002009-12-02T09:54:32.080-06:00This book sound really interesting!

I bought it and its on the pile to read. In our school we have two prenant girls, one a senior and one a junior (both unplanned prenancies). I really don't think they fully understand what kind of changes their lives are heading for. I was waiting for your review. I feel this book may help girls and boys see how unprotected and careless sex can effect their lives. I'm glad to hear the book covers the males point of view too, the book jacket didn't really say who the four people were that are involved in the story. Thanks for the review and video clip.Huttinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042126390210886148noreply@blogger.com
