Local teens on ‘Unexpected’
A Hollidaysburg couple is featured in TLC’s series “Unexpected,” which premiered Dec. 20.
“Unexpected,” according to a release from TLC, provides “an eye-opening look at teenage pregnancy and parenthood. The new episodes explore the life-altering journeys that teens and their families embark upon as they prepare for a baby, from the struggle to raise multiple generations under one roof to the inevitable tensions that arise when family members disagree on parenting decisions.”
Among the five couples are Jenna Lee Ronan, 16, and Aden Ronan, 17, of Hollidaysburg.
TLC is partnering with Power to Decide, a campaign to prevent unplanned pregnancy.
In the first episode, which is available online and streams on Hulu, the local teens and their parents discuss Jenna’s desire for a car for her 17th birthday.
According to TLC, “Jenna’s pregnancy led her to drop out of her strict Catholic high school and enroll in an online school. She and Aden met in sixth grade and now await the birth of their baby, supported by Jenna’s dad, who finds it hard to say ‘no’ to Jenna.”
