well mean but somewhat unrealistic lifetime original production that have actress danielle panabaker a a lovelorn good grade get teenager who suddenly find herself pregnant during her sophomore year of high school . like most young woman who make the same mistake at this age and panabaker look to her mother ( play by a loving but intense mercedes ruhl ) for advice and in response she promptly pull her out of school and pick up and move as quickly a possible to another town where no one will know who they be and warn panabaker to never contact the child father and tell him about the situation and ultimately decide that instead of have to explain her grandchild origin and the whole messy problem itself to a new set of people she just pretend the infant be hers . one of those late in life baby bear to a middle age woman shortly before her divorce through what seem like some sort of miracle and without the hassle of the whole in vitro process . of course and that plan backfire in the mother and daughter face shortly after their new adjustment due mostly to the rack up guilt that the young woman have for not be a real mother to her child and and instead have her own mother build up a facade around the actual truth of the situation just to save face of both her mother and her own and also for not tell the baby birth father her reason for run out on him be that she be pregnant and scared and finally because of the interest a childless sex education or sociology teacher ( play by jane krackowski ) and herself try desperately to become a mother with little luck and take in her seemingly odd situation eventually force panabaker to reveal the truth behind it leave her character wonder if put her baby up for adoption wouldn not be the best answer to her and her family pressing problem . in and amongst the somewhat complicated story we see panabaker much young sister ( play by clare stone ) fall apart at the seam and a la become more and more introverted and wild and even go so far a to attempt a quick runaway one night which she find to be a big mistake because the street be a dangerous and frightening place to live on at any age . all of the actor here be pretty good in their respective role . and i personally be particularly impressed with the discussion about love and sex and young parenthood which be all dealt with in a surprisingly tasteful and very matter of fact way make it sound and feel a if it be an important and meaningful touch add to the film already tedious and heavy subject matter . however and even with those somewhat high mark add to it and mom at sixteen still fail in it attempt at come across as realistically a possible due greatly to the fact that the character be not as well write nor nearly a fully develop a they should have be and and even the story itself take too many twist right smack in the middle of it which ultimately cause the remainder of the film to fall apart towards the extremely unsatisfactory and sadly contrive end . overall and the film virtually leave u a an audience to feel and when all be say and do and that it be little more than an artificial and slightly shallow misrepresentation of many real life situation similar to what panabaker character go through here . ( half out of ) .
