Whitney Purvis is a 16-year-old high school junior from Rome, Georgia who became pregnant by her boyfriend Weston Gosa. During her pregnancy, she and Weston lived with Whitney's grandmother, MeeMaw.

Her episode focused on the multitude of problems faced by Whitney during her pregnancy, including social isolation, dropping out of high school and financial difficulties. It was also revealed that Whitney's mother, April was also pregnant.
