It's like they want to get pregnant.

All you got to do is go to the school

clinic, get yourself some condoms.

And it's only gonna get worse

when CPS closes all these schools.

A huge chunk of 'em

are just gonna drop out.

I'm telling you. She came up to me

in the lunchroom...

in my line, came up to me acting

like I want her dirty-ass dude,

and I'm like, "B*tch, I'm not trying

to talk to his dopey ass."

Let her know.

She think I'm trying to talk to him

because we lab partners.

You know I ain't pick his ass.

His breath stinks so bad.

- I'm trying to get away from him.

- He do have stink breath.

Ms. Abbott,

can you play checkers with us?

No, thank you. I'm just gonna borrow Jasmine

here for a second. Want to come with me?

Chynice,

rotate in.

Are you pregnant?

You're pregnant.

- How did this happen?

- You the science teacher.

Come on, Jasmine.

Ms. Abbott, you know me

since freshman year.

You know this isn't something

I planned on.

How pregnant are you?

Ten weeks.

And who's the father? Another senior?

Nah, this boy I been

talking to for a while.

He don't go here.

Don't worry.

- I'm not gonna drop out or nothing.

- Well, no sh*t you're not gonna drop out.

I know, but you was just all hard up

on me going to college and stuff.

Well, Jasmine, you have to at least apply.

You've got a 3.8 GPA.

I know.

So do you think

that you want to keep it?

I don't know.

All right.

- Yes?

- Hi.

I just found out that

one of my students is pregnant.

- I don't know what the protocol is or...

- Is she in a dangerous situation?

I don't... I don't know.

She's one of my best students.

I haven't noticed anything

out of the ordinary.

Well, unfortunately, that kind

of thing happens a lot here.

We have some pamphlets.

There are resources.

We have a daycare here at the school.

She'll have to go on homebound when she

gets closer to delivery. What's her name?

Jasmine Davis.

- I'll put a note in her file.

- Okay. Thanks.

Hey.

- Where's Grandma?

- At work.

You gonna spoil your dinner

if you eat all them Cheetos.

I decided to keep it.

Are you sure?

- Yeah. I'm sure.

- And you know all of your options?

You mean, like, give it up

or have an abortion?

Yeah.

I'm gonna keep it.

All right.

- What are you gonna do?

- About what?

Oh, I'm... I'm gonna keep it.

Cool.

There's some scholarships on here I think

you could get. Your grades are really good.

- What schools were on your list?

- I was really excited about Illinois.

Illinois. That's where I went.

That would be perfect for you.

Ms. Abbott, ain't no way I'm going

to Urbana with this baby.

Well, let's just look, okay?

I know they have family housing.
