Teenage Mom H.S.

NPR's Vicky Que (KWAY) visits with young teenage mothers at a special high school in North Carolina that is trying to prevent one mistake from leading to other problems -- dropping out, going on welfare, having more children. No one knows if this program will ulitmately be effective in helping decrease teen pregnancy, but since there are virtually no other social supports for these young women, administrators feel like it's worth a try.
