Deep Thoughts Brought to me by MTV

Lately, I have been having mixed feelings about the MTV shows “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” obviously I keep watching both shows because they are extremely addicting, REAL LIFE drama and heartbreak will always captivate my attention. But, I always wonder why the teenagers on the show are deciding to share their entire life with the public, I understand that they are being paid for their participation but MTV does not make their lives look glamorous and it doesn’t make them look cool. Something else that made me think was; why do they only choose young girls from extremely small towns in the middle of nowhere America? Are they trying to prove the statistics that all teen mothers are un-educated, disadvantaged, products of un-educated, disadvantaged teen parents? After I began having all of these deep thoughts I decided to look into what the TV stars have said about their experiences and what their advice would be to teen mothers. I googled, “16 and Pregnant cast member’s advice for teen moms” and what I got was: “MTV 16 and Pregnant Casting Call!!!”, “MTV’s mom Leah pregnant again!”, “Pregnant Celebrities Advice” and worst of all “Forever 21 Maternity Line”. This made my decision for me, no matter how many magazines, new reporters, or morning shows say that the MTV shows discourage teen pregnancy I would say the opposite. If they would like the public to think that then I would recommend having them interview other teen mothers who are working hard but not becoming famous at the same time.
