Life in the Fast Lane Home


	Produced by Idaho Public Television for the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare
		Every teenager has dreams and aspirations. Getting the newest CD, finishing high school or buying a car. A car … you know the kind, a beautiful, fast, red convertible that you can cruise around in on Friday night. One with all the options, a CD player, leather seats, a computerized dash, chrome wheels and a baby in the back seat. WHAT? A baby in the back seat? For many teens, the "dream car" is not an option because they become parents earlier than they had planned. Having a baby is a big deal.
