I bought a cheer gym with one of my friends,

It is very, very important that I actually talk to her dad

going in the right direction.
I'll be back, thought, 100%.

Professional home inspection.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go with this class right here.

I think that'll be a great new journey.
- Was there anything that you learned at the doctor's office
that isn't taught in school?
- I knew all of it from you, but the school didn't
teach me anything about it.
- What do you guys think that we
could do to help change the access that women
do have in our area?
- We could change laws.
- Charleston, West Virginia female lawmakers.

I have some concerns about women's health,

- I know you want to have another baby,

- How are you? - Good.
How are you? How are you guys?
- Good. - How are you?
- It's good to see you. Good to see you.
Do you guys want to sit down?
- Absolutely.
- So what's going on?
- I was wondering about, like, if you could, like, maybe,
like, try to present, like, a new,
like, law of, like, sex ed in schools.
- So have you had any sex ed in schools at all thus far?
- Not really.
It was like once in fifth grade, and that's all.
- OK. And what did they talk about?
- They just told you about it.
They didn't really, like, explain detail or how to,
like, protect or anything like that.
- Being 17, when I first got pregnant with them,
I had this conversation with them all the time.
- We probably wouldn't know any of, like, the things
that we do know if our mom didn't tell us about them.
- For them, I was like, I want to be on top of it.
I want to prevent them from going through
the same experiences that I have went through.
- From what I know, the laws in West Virginia
are there is sex ed in schools.
It's comprehensive.
- When you say comprehensive sex ed,
what are they supposed to be learning?
- The law itself is pretty vague.
And that can be good and bad, right?
Because then it's up to the State Board of Ed
to decide what that looks like.
And then it really, like, each county and each school decides.
In West Virginia-- and you guys probably
won't be surprised-- there have been bills
to ban sex ed completely.
To say, you can't even talk about this happening at all.
- Wow.
- And I mean, that would be terrible
because your teachers should be talking
about what healthy relationships look like.
What consent looks like.
What good communication looks like in those situations.
What if you're gay or queer in some capacity?
That's going to be a totally different conversation.
But I think something that I find is that government
is hard to understand.
And some things are state things,
and some things are city things,
and some things are county things.
But there are so many things you can do.
And the biggest one is education.
Learn about the government, and learn about how it works.
Find social media accounts where
you can get better education on how
you can change those things.
Call your representatives, because even
though you're under 18, they still represent you.
You might know what you want the end goal to be.
Say you want free period products in schools.
Great.
Our prisons don't have products guaranteed.
Our schools don't have products guaranteed.
And even crazier, they're taxed.
So if you go buy them at the grocery store,
they're not cheap.
They're not cheap at all, especially
if you want the good stuff.
- So I think this was productive.
You guys have a better idea on how you can be of support
to those around you, how you can make a difference,
and all the questions you had.
- Thank you for meeting with us.
- Any time, girls.
I'm happy to be with you guys any time,
or talk to any of your friends, or anybody who needs anything
can always reach out.

maybe you don't get to do what you want to do right now,

don't want to do right now that would
just bring, like, stability.

you happy that's realistic.

- I want to be a music producer.
I want to do all that. - I'm just saying--
- Shut the [bleep] up. You ain't doing that.
Let's do something real. - Something.
Maybe it doesn't make you happy right now.
Maybe it can make you happy later.
- To me, I feel like I need to be on it

I'm persistent because some people need encouragement.
But there's a fine line with encouragement
and just annoying them.

older because I'm more self-aware.

I have to change my tampon like now.
And then she said, sit down.
I was like, I'm about to bleed out.
I need to go to the bathroom.
You cannot tell a girl no if she's on her period.
She can't help that.
So if she wouldn't let me, I was
going to walk out to show that I'm going
to go do what is natural.
- I mean, if you have an issue like that,
you just need to ring me, and I will call the office.
So that way, you're not getting in trouble either.
- But I didn't have time for that.
I needed to go now.
I was in my new jeans.
That I wouldn't have been so mad if this didn't happen
to multiple other girls.
- Proud of you for the stand that you took.
Because you didn't just take a stand for yourself,
you took a stand for everyone else that was
experiencing the same thing.
And another thing that-- people think it's
so hush-hush to talk about.
You can't talk about something that our bodies do naturally.

- Kayla brought up starting on a smaller scale.
So we actually started to think of making care packages
and taking them to school and putting them
in the bathrooms for maybe people who can't afford them.
Because no one else would do it.
So if we don't, it feels like no one else will.
- Do you guys think people should be embarrassed--
- No. - No.

- No.

- This thing-- this right here, up here goes in your coochie?

- When you start, you'll have a pad first.
You will not go straight into tampons.
The first time that I started my period,
I was in fifth grade.
And I actually didn't even know what a period menstrual cycle--
I didn't know what any of that was.
So I thought I was bleeding to death.
I thought I was dying.
Could you imagine something like that happening
and you having no idea what was happening?
How would you feel?
- Petrified.
- I'm going to grab a chair because I don't like standing.
Grab a chair.
- Hopefully, since we've created this safe place
at home, you guys can go out.
When you're out.
When you're in school, you can create that safe place
for other girls, too.
You guys aren't going to eat every single one
of those cookies?
- Yeah.
They're pretty delicious.
You look judgy.
- I just think that it's crazy you guys made 12 cookies
and you're eating it all in one setting.
- When you're on your period, do you eat a lot?

- I had such a good time catching up with you, Jade.
Please come back soon.
But now, it is back to reality for me.
So Zach and I have just still been in, like,
a weird, funky place.
But today, he's going to go meet
up with my dad and his dad.
And hopefully, their conversation
can help him and motivate him.
- Glad to get you all here.
I wanted to kind of pick y'all brain just to, you know,
get some fatherhood advice.
I'm kind of just at a place right now where
I'm trying to nestle down and find
that career to where I can, you know,
provide for the family. - Right.
- Put the kids on insurance and take care of everything,
be the man of the house and do what I need to do.
All right, so in order to become a fireman,
you need to become an EMT.
But as far as my record, is that something
that will pop up in the process and hinder me from getting it?
- Well, if it's expunged, then it's
as though it didn't happen.
It's like almost like an annulment.
- But from the EMT, if you take EMT now,
how long do you have to go through that before you
can become a fireman?
- Well, once you get your EMT license, I mean, you know,
if you go a six-month program, a three-month program,
depending on how you want to do it, once you get that,
then you're in position to start
going through the other steps.
Actually, there's-- I know with LA City, they're still
down over 300 positions.
So it's actually a good time to get into the processing
right now.
- See, I be hearing mixed things.
I heard it's like hard as hell to get in.
- No, it is hard. It's hard.
But I'm saying there's opportunity there.
- OK.
- And on top of that, the pension, man.
Bro, I make more money now than I did when I was working--
- Yeah. - --just off of pension.
You know what I'm saying?
- I was thinking about asking you for a loan, man.
[laughter]
- But can you start the EMT now?
Or are you wait till all that's done?
- I can. - That's-- that's--
that's been on me.
That's why I kind of wanted to talk to you guys.
I've been procrastinating.
- Why have you been procrastinating, bro?
Your family and time ain't waiting.
I didn't never worry about what kind of work I was doing.
I told you before I'd clean toilets if toilets paid well.
- Kyle is right.
So, I mean, you know, we're here to support you, man.
To help you, brother. To give you advice.
We've all, you know, been through what you're
going through right now in terms
of not knowing exactly what you want to do,
but figuring it out.
But once we figured it out, boom, we,
you know, honed in on it and went to work.
[soft music]
- You look at Ace, you look at Ryder,
you know, you look at Chey, it's like,
OK, that's-- that's my why.
That's what I'm doing it for. - Yeah.
- I think so much of all of us being to the point where
we're trying to encourage you and-- and kind of kicking you
in the butt, I think you're going to get more kicking
in the butt by your wife.
- Two biggest reasons for divorce.
Finances and sex.
Those are the biggest contributors.
So I told you that so that you're aware of that
so that you don't get caught up in that statistic.
- Yeah.
No, I mean, I had my mind made.
I get it now.
I want to get my record expunged.
- I got people I can-- on the department I can
put you in touch with, man.
They can just basically walk you
through the whole thing, man.

You want to come around here?

I went to look at rings the other day.
Yes, I did. - Are you kidding?

want to ask you first.

So it's just trying to coordinate and make

This is going to be awesome, Khes.

This is the happiest I've ever been, to be honest with you.

We better get back out there because--

It's been a lot of hours in the car with my mom back and forth
to the cheer gym.
And I always told my mom, I'm going
to own a cheer gym one day.
And I'm opening a cheer gym, and she's not here to see that.
- Mah!
- I'm so happy I'm doing this.
And I don't know that I would have
gotten through that grand opening without Khesanio.

Here. There's your shoes.
Can you put those in your closet, please?
When we went out to brunch with Cheyenne, when I was out there
and she said that they was, like,
having some problems with him, wanting to,
I guess, figuring out what he wants to do.
- If somebody's constantly telling you
you need to be doing something, you're probably not
going to feel like doing it. - Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
But yeah, I was talking about how I wanted to have
another kid and stuff, but--
- Right.

What type of answer is, "it went?"

Hey.
That wasn't nice.

I think he's doing the best he can

And I just have to be here to support him.
I think you just continue to grind.
Buckle down, hone in whatever it is that you do want to do.
