Spike, who is only 14 and suspects she is pregnant, turns to her girlfriends and finally her mother for help.
♪ never meant to mess it up ♪
♪ I only meant
to dance with her ♪
Lucy, it's a great party.
Thanks.
My parents wouldn't
let me have a party
If they weren't around.
Lucy's are never around.

Christine, when you're late
and I drive you to school
It makes me late.
I can't afford that.
What's wrong with you
these days?
You're so
unpleasant.
Don't treat me
like a baby.
Stop acting like one!
Listen,
it isn't easy
Raising you alone.
Some cooperation
from you
Would make
things better.
For us both!
I'd like to talk to you
about a decision
You'll have to make soon.
You're going to be asked...
Christine,
good of you to join us.
Sorry.
Second time this week.
Being late is becoming a habit.
It's disappointing
when a good student
Sets such a bad example.
Soon you're going to be asked
To select your option courses
For high schools
you'll be attending.
This may be the first decision
you make on your own.
Class dismissed.
What do you
want to be?
I don't want to talk
about careers.
Sure. Sorry!
Lucy's having another party
Like the one last month.
I don't want to go.
Hey, man
What really happened
at lucy's party?
What were you guys doing?
Wouldn't you like to know.
I bet they were
just kissing.
Yeah, probably.
Kathleen, listen
to my horoscope.
"romance highlights
exciting scenario."
I could use
a good romance.
What I'd really like
is a hickey.
Melanie, hickeys are gross!
They're romantic!
A hickey means you've
got a boyfriend.
If you've got
a boyfriend
You can
go on dates.
Hi, snake.
Hi, melanie.
I give up.
I'll never
have a boyfriend.
There's lots of time.
You're only 12.
Twelve and
three-quarters.
That's old.
Hi, arthur.
Hi, melanie.
Hi.
You like melanie?
Yeah. I'd like
to ask her out.
So ask her.
She might say no.
She might say yes.
See you after
band practice.
Bye.
Lucy's parties are cool.
Would your parents
Leave you alone
for a party?
They won't let me
turn the lights off.
Shane wouldn't get
into the bedroom
At my house.
Think they
really did it?
If you did it
Tell us what
it was like.
You've never had sex?
'course I've had sex!
Yeah, me, too.
Lots of times.
Did you or didn't you?
None of your business.
Why won't spike
talk to you?
She's in a bad mood.
Probably her period
or something.
Okay, what's wrong?
Nothing.
How come you hardly
talk to us anymore?
Come on.
We're friends, right?
My period's late.
It's always on time.
I think I'm pregnant.
But you can't be pregnant
Unless you've
had sex.
You did it?!
With shane?
Oh, I get it.
It's simple when
you figure it out.
Hi, yick.
Um...
Why didn't you ask her?
I couldn't.
Looks like you need
some serious help--
From me.
What do you know?
When you've got
a sister like mine
You learn
fast.
The thing
about girls
Is you have to get them
in the right mood.
How do you feel?
Do you have
morning sickness?
Not yet.
If it's the first time,
you're okay.
You can't get pregnant
the first time.
I don't know
if that's true.
Sure it is.
How come my period's late then?
Sometimes it's
irregular, right?
I asked her
And she told me...
What?
She's pregnant.
Again!
Hi, mom.
Honey, I'm sorry
for snapping
At you this morning.
You know me before
my first cup of coffee.
That's okay, mom.
Six kids, and
another on the way!
But she's happy.
She certainly must
enjoy motherhood.
Mom?
A friend told me
you couldn't get pregnant
The first time you had sex.
Want to bet?
One in five girls gets pregnant
The first
time.
Some people
believe
That you can't
get pregnant
If you stand up
immediately
afterwards.
Patron:
Or if you keep
your eyes closed.
Mother:
Wish I had known
the facts earlier.
I was 17 when I had christine.
I wanted to attend university
but had to go to work.
Patron:
Your christine's a good girl.
She's going to university.
Attention, students:
Black-framed glasses have been
found in the school cafeteria.
How will this work?
It will put her
in the mood.
She can't say no
after a compliment.
Guess you're the expert.
One more practice.
Your eyes are so blue, they
remind me of swimming pools.
Hi, snake.
Yeah. Okay,
arthur.
There she is.
Yick:
I feel weird.
I wouldn't worry.
Those things haven't
been right yet.
They have so!
Hi, melanie.
Hi, yick.
Your eyes are so blue,
they seem like
Pimming swools.
Pimming swools?
What?!
What are pimming swools?
Pimming swools?
Melanie:
What was that
all about?
Broomhead!
Yick!
Wait up!
Yick!
You've got to get
a pregnancy test.
That's too
embarrassing.
You can do
a test at home.
You can go
to a clinic.
No!
We'll come with you.
If you're pregnant,
you must see a doctor.
If I am pregnant,
my mom will kill me.
Bye.
Hey, spike!
Whoa, wait up!
We're going steady.
Why are you avoiding me?
You really want to know?
Yes.
Remember lucy's party?
Yeah!
I think I'm going
to have a baby!
This is a joke, right?
No.
He's so sweet!
His name's
alexander gregory.
That's my uncle's name.
Isn't he cute?
Guys! Come and
see the pictures
Of voula's sister's
new baby!
I can't wait
till I have a baby.
Babies pee 12 times a day.
You're always changing diapers.
It would be great--
Someone to love you for
the rest of your life.
Yeah, great.
Especially when
they're awake
all night
And you don't sleep.
This afternoon
is a bit of a treat.
Victorian romantic poets.
"elizabeth barrett browning.
"born 18o6.
"died 55 years later, 1861.
"how do I love thee?
"let me count the ways.
"I love thee to the depth
"and breadth and height
"my soul can reach,
when feeling out of sight
"for the ends of being

"I love thee to the level

"by sun and candlelight.
"I love thee freely,
as men strive for right;
"I love thee purely,
as they turn from praise;
I love thee
with the passion..."
So you going to tell us?
What?
At lucy's party.
Did you or didn't you?
Well?
What would
you guys do
If you got
someone pregnant?
Spike's going
to have a baby?
No, it's just
a question.
It wouldn't be
The guy's problem, right?
Well, it would sort
of be his baby, too.
You think spike's pregnant?
Nah.
They never did it.
He's bluffing so
we think they did.
Right?
Right.
Has to be.
They didn't do nothing.
Are you going to read
me today's horoscope?
Yeah, I got
a new one.
Listen to this.
"moon position
spotlights popularity
"attracting a special member
of the opposite sex.
You'll receive
a gift today."
Would whoever stole
the "reserved" sign
From mr. Raditch's parking spot
return it immediately?
Where did you
get these?
Don't worry.
Nobody will notice.
How is this
supposed to work?
She's got to talk to you
if you give her flowers.
Girls like to
get flowers.
I feel like
a broomhead.
Go. Go.
It's kind of weird
that every day
The same thing
happens
To one-twelfth
of all the people
In the whole world.
Hi, I, uh...
Stay away.
Go away.
What?
She's got allergies.
Flowers make her sneeze.
Go.
I didn't know.
Sorry.
Broomhead.
I'm sorry.
Good night.
Bye.
Bye.
She'll be here
any minute.
There she is.
Spike.
Hi.
We're coming to
the clinic with you.
I'm not going.
Then we'll buy a test
from the drugstore.
You've got to find out.
Don't be
embarrassed.
Would joey jeremiah please
come to the principal's office?
Broomhead.
Don't worry.
I'll have more
ideas tomorrow.
I don't want to try
any more of your ideas.
What are you
going to do?
I'll ask her out.
The worst she can say
is no.
Melanie.
Wait.
I'm sorry about
what happened.
To make it up, maybe
we could go skating.
You mean a date?
Yeah,
sort of.
How about
Saturday morning?
What sign are you?
Sign?
You know, libra, capricorn?
Oh, um, aquarius, I think.
I'm cancer.
I don't think we're
supposed to get along.
But you are a boy,
and this is a date.
Okay.
Here they are.
Shh. Not
so loud.
"collect sample after
first urine in the morning."
"test takes two hours
before results can be read."
This one
only takes
an hour.
Which one
is better?
Probably both
are good
If you use
them properly.
It's great they didn't
ask any questions.
Well, see you.
Good luck.
We'll call you
tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
Thanks for
coming with me.
Yeah.
Bye.
Hi, mom.
Hi, honey.
Dinner will be
ready shortly.
I'm not hungry.
I'm going to bed.
Aren't you feeling well?
I'm tired, that's all.
Then what you need is
some good hot food.
What's in the bag?
Nothing.
What are you hiding?
Nothing.
Come on, let me see it.
No!
Come back here, young lady.
Christine.
Christine,
come back here.
Let me see that.
No!
It's none of
your business.
What is the matter?
We always share everything.
I don't want to share anymore.
Stop talking like that.
You don't care
How I feel.
You don't know
What it's like to be 14.
You want
to see
What's in the bag?
Oh, no.
You didn't...
Hello?
I'm sorry, she can't
come to the phone right now.
Yes, yes, I'll tell her.
That was for you.
It was shane.
I said you'd
call him back.
Now let's talk.
Why didn't
you tell me?
It's best that I
know everything,
christine.
We could have done
the test at home.
I know.
I just like dr. Poddubny.
If you are pregnant,
you'll be seeing her anyway.
If you're not, I'd like
you to talk with her.
Mom, I'm sorry.
It just happened.
I wanted him to like me.
The number of us
who have said that...
I didn't like it much.
Most of us don't at first.
That's why I wish you'd
waited till you were older.
When you're ready,
it can be wonderful.
I don't know why
you told him.
If I am pregnant,
it's his baby, too.
They should have
the results by now.
Do you want me to
come in with you?
We'd kind of prefer
to go alone.
Honey?
Whatever happens,
I'm behind you.
I'm glad you came.
How you feeling?
Okay.
Mom, I'm pregnant.
Hi, spike.
Hi.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What are
you doing?
Nothing.
Hi.
This is all
your fault.
You could have
stopped me.
I tried to.
Sort of.
Oh, this is so horrible.
You don't want me
To marry you,
do you?
There are people
who can't have babies
So they adopt
other people's babies.
But I don't want to
get big and stuff.
Everyone will know.
What if I didn't have the baby?
Get an abortion?
You can't kill a baby.
It's not a baby.
It's only a fetus.
It's got rights.
What about my rights?
I don't want to be a mother.
I don't want
to be a father
But an abortion...
I don't want
an abortion.
But I don't want
to have a baby.
I'm just a kid.
Why is this
happening?
It was just a little mistake.
Sort of a
big mistake.
♪ I only meant
to dance with her ♪
Lucy, it's a great party.
Thanks.
My parents wouldn't
let me have a party
If they weren't around.
Lucy's are never around.
Hey, hey!

Go away.
What's the matter?

What it's like to be 14.
You want
to see
What's in the bag?
Oh, no.
You didn't...
Hello?
I'm sorry, she can't
come to the phone right now.
Yes, yes, I'll tell her.
That was for you.
It was shane.
I said you'd
call him back.
Now let's talk.
Why didn't
you tell me?
It's best that I
know everything,
christine.
We could have done
the test at home.
I know.
I just like dr. Poddubny.
If you are pregnant,
you'll be seeing her anyway.
If you're not, I'd like
you to talk with her.
Mom, I'm sorry.
It just happened.
I wanted him to like me.
The number of us
who have said that...
I didn't like it much.
Most of us don't at first.
That's why I wish you'd
waited till you were older.
When you're ready,
it can be wonderful.
I don't know why
you told him.
If I am pregnant,
it's his baby, too.
They should have
the results by now.
Do you want me to
come in with you?
We'd kind of prefer
to go alone.
Honey?
Whatever happens,
I'm behind you.
I'm glad you came.
How you feeling?
Okay.
Mom, I'm pregnant.
Hi, spike.
Hi.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What are
you doing?
Nothing.
Hi.
This is all
your fault.
You could have
stopped me.
I tried to.
Sort of.
Oh, this is so horrible.
You don't want me
To marry you,
do you?
There are people
who can't have babies
So they adopt
other people's babies.
But I don't want to
get big and stuff.
Everyone will know.
What if I didn't have the baby?
Get an abortion?
You can't kill a baby.
It's not a baby.
It's only a fetus.
It's got rights.
What about my rights?
I don't want to be a mother.
I don't want
to be a father
But an abortion...
I don't want
an abortion.
But I don't want
to have a baby.
I'm just a kid.
Why is this
happening?
It was just a little mistake.
Sort of a
big mistake.
