Kirsten Dunst stars as Tina Spangler, a 15 year old who thinks she loves her boyfriend Ray, who is 16 years old. But Ray tells her they should take a break because he was given a second chance on the Footballs team. Tina finds out a few days later that she is pregnant and tells her friend Laurie, who has a daughter named Allison. Laurie helps Tina tell her mother she is pregnant.
Her mom who is played by Park Overall does not understand how Tina could have gotten pregnant in the first place since she goes to church. Her sister Rachael doesn’t like her sister being pregnant because “Nice families don’t have pregnant 15 year old girls”. She decides she wants to move in with her dad (mom and dad have split right before this all happened), since everything is about Tina.
Tina says she will not give the baby up and that Ray loves her. Turns out Ray has another love interest and Tina tries to get over him. Mom says that Tina is not capable of making decision even though dad says its her choice. Mom says she can not handle a stranger raising her grandchild.
Tina has a baby boy and Rachael starts to come around. It ends with a happy ending.
