Recap: ‘16 & Pregnant: Emily’

From Amazon:

An all American girl has to hang up her majorette baton after getting pregnant. Moving an hour away from her boyfriend, Emily faces the pressure of starting over in a new school and new town.

I remember this episode being a hard one to watch because the girl seemed so miserable. I also remember the boy having a college scholarship that Emily’s family wasn’t interested in. Also, I think Emily is super pretty.

Emily lives in Hayden, Alabama, which is between Birmingham and Huntsville. She lives with her dad and step-mom. Emily has straight A’s and met her boyfriend, Daniel, as a majorette. He plays in the band.

We see that Emily and Daniel are engaged to be married in June, and she’s ready for college. She wants to become a pharmacist. She also has a ton of awards on her wall.

By the way, Emily is pregnant, so a lot is going to change.

October — 24 Weeks Pregnant

We get some back story. Emily told her mom that she was pregnant and then immediately got kicked out. She had to go live with her dad about an hour away and go to a new high school.

Emily and her friends have a pizza party. Emily says she misses performing after twirling baton for nine years. They ask her about her mom, who said she did not want to have a pregnant teenager living in her home. She also felt like she disappointed her dad.
