16 & Pregnant: Alex

This episode was 1.5 hours. It's about high school senior Alex who gets pregnant and is having a girl with boyfriend Matt. Her mother tells her that if she keeps the baby, she cannot live with her. I never thought her mom really meant it. Who kicks their kids out? She works part time at McDonalds and a dance studio. Her boyfriend pulls in no money, since he has no job and is a stoner. He is always out partying and doing drugs.

Her friend's parent's want to have another kid, but they cant so they ask if they can adopt. She considers it, knowing that she will be able to see her daughter whenever she wants. She is only 2 weeks away and still has not decided. She decides to move in with their neighbor into her spare room. She cannot afford that rent either.

The baby is born, Arabella. Matt is at the hospital, but not there after. She decides she cannot pay her rent so she moves back in with her mother. Her mom was so against this, but throws her a shower. During the shower, the neighbor tells Alex that she is tossing her stuff onto the side of the road. She has to go and get it. She is appalled, but I have to say that she still owes her the rent!

Matt is MIA and she gets so mad. He comes over and basically tells her that he wanted adoption, but she didn't listen so now he doesn't want to be involved. Its too hard for him and he would rather be stoned. She cannot work anymore because it interferes with care for the baby. She has her family, but I guess that may not be enough. She has to take her senior year online. She tells Matt what a deadbeat dad he is.
