Fifteen and Pregnant is a made-for-TV drama film that was released in 1998, directed by Sam Pillsbury and starring Kirsten Dunst in the lead role. The movie tells the story of a 15-year-old girl named Tina Spangler (Kirsten Dunst), who becomes pregnant after having unprotected sex with her boyfriend.
The film takes place in a small town in Nebraska, where Tina is a high school student and a member of the cheerleading squad. After she discovers that she is pregnant, Tina decides to keep the baby and face the challenges that come with being a teenage mother.
Tina's pregnancy is met with mixed reactions from her family and friends. Her mother (Park Overall) is initially unsupportive, while her father (David Andrews) is more understanding and tries to help her through the situation. Tina's boyfriend, Ray (David Gallagher), is also reluctant to take responsibility for the pregnancy and struggles to come to terms with his new role as a father.
The film follows Tina as she tries to balance her schoolwork, her part-time job, and the demands of motherhood. She also faces social stigma and criticism from her peers, but she remains determined to give her baby a good life and to prove that she can be a responsible and loving mother.
