Recap: ‘16 & Pregnant: Kayla’
From Amazon:
Kayla is a southern belle with friends, horses, and a personal trainer. But now that she’s pregnant, she has to start making her own tough decisions about marriage and her ability to make it without the help of her parents.
Kayla is 17 and lives in Centre, Alabama. She says she’s spoiled and competes in beauty pageants. But don’t worry, she hunts with her boyfriend J.R. too. They’ve been together six months, but she’s pretty sure he’s the one.
And oh yeah, she’s pregnant.
October — 20 Weeks
Kayla was afraid of judgment when she got pregnant. She and her friends eat at Beans & Greens, which deeply appeals to me. One of her friends asks if Kayla was afraid people would think she was trashy.
Kayla also talks about her mom’s reaction to the pregnancy. Kayla says her mom is taking it well but is concerned about school. Kayla says her parents and J.R.’s parents have been very supportive.
J.R. doesn’t like to be with Kayla in public now that she’s showing since they aren’t married and he was raised “traditionally.” There is so much Hollister and seashell necklace in this picture. It’s a real time capsule.
