Program Transcript
MS. WARRICK: Hi, Ebony. It's good to see you. I saw you at
the track meet. Nice
job on the 100 meter dash.
EBONY: Oh, thanks. Thanks for seeing me, Ms. Warrick.
MS. WARRICK: So what's on your mind?
EBONY: I'm pregnant.
MS. WARRICK: Are you sure?

11. EBONY: Two months.
MS. WARRICK: Oh, Ebony. Why? Did you want to get
pregnant? Didn't you use
protection?
EBONY: Nobody talks about birth control here. All they teach
is abstinence. I
made a mistake.
MS. WARRICK: Do you know who the father is?
EBONY: Darion, my boyfriend. We've been going together for
about four months.
MS. WARRICK: Have you told him?
EBONY: He told me to do whatever I want to do. I know what
that means,
though, but he won't say it. He thinks we're too young to have a
baby.
MS. WARRICK: Have you told your family?

12. EBONY: My mom. She wants me to have an abortion. Says I'll
ruin my life if I
have a baby now. But not my dad. He says it's god's choice, not
mine. I don't
know what to think. I'm all mixed up. What do you think I
should do?
