Synopsis | Second Chance (2011)
Being a teenager is a tough gig. But how much harder must it be for the thousands of adolescent girls who stumble into motherhood each year? While their friends party and gossip, these young mums - really just kids themselves - only want a good night's sleep. They must feel like they're living on a different planet. It's no wonder so many of them drop out and end up squandering their best years on welfare. But there is another way. It's not easy, far from it, still you don't get too many second chances at life.
