Character Profiles

1.  Kevin Burrows:
 Main character, a 17 year old student from Yorkshire, Lundwood. He is studying Construction, has the dream of being a master builder in the future and is the sole focus of the documentary. Irresponsible, unsure and generally not bothered about caring for the child at the beginning, Kevin goes through an epiphany in the segment shown where he feels he should take responsibility for his actions and his budding family. The development culminates in Kevin facing a major dilemma when Jason, Beth's father, tells him to leave the family alone and to stay out of his daughter's life.

2. Beth Sullivan:
 16 year old mother, soon to be starting college and is the youngest in the Sullivan family with two older sisters (remain unseen, possible cameo in the first segments?). After the one night stand with Kevin, she seemed very scared about becoming a mother so young, but is starting to come round to the idea and opts against having an abortion. She feels as though there is a future between her and Kevin if only he would become more responsible and try to make it work.
At the end of the segment she admires Kevin a lot more for wanting to take up his part in raising the child but distraught as her father is getting in the way of it working.

3. The Expert:
 A pediatrician and an expert on psychology, the expert gives insight into what teenage mothers and fathers go through pre-birth. In this segment, he gives a short interview on how teenage fathers usually abandon the mother and the child very early on in the relationship.

4. Jason Sullivan:
 Jason is 40 years old and Beth's father. He is dismayed at his daughter for getting pregnant so young and is very protective of her. While the rest of the Sullivan's seem to like Kevin, Jason is fully against him being part of the family, claiming him to be an irresponsible layabout that will be a terrible father to the child.
He appears in the final part the segment, interrupting an interview with Kevin on what he plans to do now he has learned more about what his responsibilities to the child will be, telling him to leave the family alone and to not bother his daughter ever again.
