14-Year Old Mother

This is actually about a Japanese mini-series. It recently aired in Japan, the title in Japanese is "14才の母" and the official page is here. It is about a 14-year old girl, who got pregnant, and the challenges she had to face from society, as well as how her family members suffered too because of her. Her mother was made fun of by her colleagues. Her father was transferred away from his high post at work. Other children at school were unwilling to play with her younger brother. The matter was made worse because a reporter for a magazine ran a scoop on this.

I can't really talk about this whole series yet, because I have yet to watch all of it. It has already finished airing in Japan, so the only way to watch this would be to either wait for VCDs, or to ask around with Japanese friends if they have taken video recordings of it. If you have watched it, feel free to share your views on the issues brought up by this show.
