Season 11 - Episode 167: Teen Pregnancy Trap?

Dr. Phil - Backdrop

Overview

Karrieann says her 14-year-old daughter has been obsessed with having a baby since she was in the sixth grade and recently started a rumor that she was pregnant — a lie that created so much controversy, she had to change schools. The teen admits that she’s actively trying to get pregnant and has already been with 10 partners. She says she believes that at 14, she’s mature enough to make her own choices and thinks her life would be better if she had a baby. What does Dr. Phil think is really behind the teen's desire to get pregnant? And, can he enlighten her to the reality of young motherhood? Then, Lauren, 36, says she’s afraid her 18-year-old daughter, Kayla, will follow in her footsteps and become a teen mom. Does she have reason for concern? If you’re the parent of a teen, you can’t afford to miss this all-new Dr. Phil.
