I loved “At 15” by Joe. He is in a situation that many teens must deal with - teen pregnancy.

Joe is realizing that he will be a father because of one decision. He contemplates suicide, but realizes he can’t go through with it. I know many teens who are facing parenthood. Since this has happened, they know what their responsibility is.

I’m glad Joe didn’t take his life. After all, that child needs its father.
