Jamie and Elaine have been best friends forever, and now they're finally juniors in high school. Elaine has a steady boyfriend, and Jamie could have one—if she'd just open her eyes and see Paul.

Jamie and Elaine's stories are just two among the thousands of stories of teenagers facing unplanned pregnancies.
