In this grittily realistic documentary, Debbie, Karen and Tracey describe in their own words what it's like to be a teenage single mother. In the process of telling their stories, they talk about relationships, family support or the lack thereof, birth control, the economics of poverty, and their own truncated dreams and aspirations.
