16 And Pregnant Season 2 Spoilers & Review
MTV’s famous and hit TV series “16 And Pregnant” season 1 has been completed on July 23, 2009. This is a long documentary series focusing on the controversial subject of teen pregnancy. Each week revolves around a different girl struggling with the challenges of teenage pregnancy.
“16 And Pregnant” last Season 1 Episode “Life After Labor” was hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky. In this episode, all 16 Teenagers reunite to talk about life after labor. This open discussion has provided a platform to address the contentious topics that were shown in season one. This series was full of emotion, gossip, birth control, adoption, abortion, marriage, finances etc.
Now Dr. Drew will return with new Season 2 of ‘16 And Pregnant’ by a special episode with title, “True Life: I’m Having Twins” on July 30, 2009 at 11:00pm. The season 2 is produced by Morgan J Freeman.
In the season 2 there will be focus on every moment and reaction in real time, including several births and how the young mothers and fathers dealt with new parenthood and it also available rights free for distribution, as a platform to have an honest discussion around sexual health and pregnancy with teens.
Dr. Drew also tamped out with MTV’s new series, “Sex. . .with Mom and Dad.” He is helping teens and parents to get the root of their problems surrounding the prohibited topic of sex in the groundbreaking by this series. He has also appeared on television and radio programs about sex, relationships and addiction.
This TV series is the number one Primetime Cable Program. For viewers, particularly teen viewers, the premiere episode sends the message that sex have real consequences. When I first heard about the show, I immediately thought it was way to bolster viewer ship. I think that it is entertaining and educational show.
Comments
I have heard some people say that this show is just going to lead to more teens becoming pregnant, however, I think that it is good for teens to see the negative aspects. The point that is really being put out there is that the majority of teen relationships especially with a pregnancy do not last. The stress accompanied with the statistics of unsuccessful high school relationships means that they are 10X as likely not to last. I think many young couples think that a child will keep them together forever when in fact a child will often drive them apart. I think this show is eye opening and informative and I am really looking forward to season 2.
credit you for your report and it helped me in preparing my college assignment.
Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.
yeh right.. great post, Thank You
i think this show is the understanding of what can happen when pregnant at 16. but every relationship is different it doesnt mean if this relationship with a newborn didnt wor, doesnt mean mine cant work. relationships can fall but you can pick em back up. a child doesnt always have to ruin a relationship. its just meant to wait til your married.
I loved watching this series as a teen girl myself. Watching it made me, yeah, see the negativity that comes along with teen parenthood but it also made me want it more. To me, it was glammed up. And I know a lot of other people that watch it and they end thinking…”Man I want a baby of my own.” With success at the ends of most of the stories in season one made me think that oh if I have a baby at this age I can get my own place, have a little family, and live happily ever after because in the end of the finale everyone was great and together and happy.
I just had my first baby a month after my 20th birthday…it deffiently is something that took us by surprise not planned and nothing like you think it will be like…we love our little girl very much but she makes things hard you dont get to sleep and it is hard to even get in a shower in a days time….i think this show is showing the ups and downs of pregnancy not only as a teen but any pregnancy is hard and not glamorous
when is season two starting
I really like the show. I’m going to be a 15 year old mom in 6 months. This show is really helping me see what its gonna be like. Its not glammed up at all it really shows the reality of being pregnant so young.
I love this show but it made me want to have a baby of my own. I now have a boyfriend and am planning on trying to get pregnant without letting him know first. I am only fifteen but I’ll be sixteen soon. I know that this will be hard but I am excited to become a teen mom and have someone who loves me unconditionally.
i really enjoyed this season and is very excited to watch next season.This has really insprired a lot of young girls not to be sexually active.This show is a birthcontrol itself!!!
im i teen pregnant and before i got pregnant i loved watching this show.and i think it showed me that its not all fun and games.and i wannet to sign up for it but the father of the baby did not let me.but i have a friend who is and she says that it only gives them more stress.but anywais i kant wait for the new season to come out so i can learn from other girls mistakes:)
I’ve watched every episode of this show. I love the stories and the happy endings but I just wish mine would turn out good too. I’m a pregnant teen, yepp, another statistic. I wasn’t being safe and I didn’t see the consequences before it was too late. Now, I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby, a son I’m naming Caston, at the age of 15. All jokes and rude comments aside…this was not planned. My “boyfriend” doesn’t want anything to do with me or the baby. We were drifting apart even before I found out I was pregnant. This just made it worse. I’m on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. And on top of the normal stress that comes with teen pregnancy, the doctor’s confirmed that my son has Down Syndrome. I can’t begin to tell you how many nights’ sleep I’ve lost, how many tears I’ve cried…wishing I had been smarter, used protection. I feel guilty for my son, for what his life will be like all because of me and my mistakes. I love him…don’t get me wrong…but I just don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know how to make it work. This time next year I’m going to have to try to juggle caring for a special needs child, re-taking my freshman year of high school, and growing up myself all at the same time! Sometimes I think that adoption is the best thing for everyone…but I don’t think I could do it. What if no one wants to adopt a Down Syndrome baby anyway? I don’t even know what to do. I just want to be a kid.
Diana, my heart goes out to you. I had my first son at 15 too and my second at 17. It’s tough but at the end of the day you’ve got your baby and that’s all that matters. It takes some getting used to before you finally settle into a routine and life of the single teen mom gets a little bit easier to cope with. Hold your head up girl and I’m sure things will turn out, whatever happens. And, if you do decide adoption is the better decision than that’s okay too. Some women just aren’t ready to be parents and that’s notthing to be ashamed of. There are couples all over the world who would love that baby boy unconditionally. Be strong and best wishes to you.
My name’s Ayana and I’m 15 years old with a beautiful 9 month old son, Lucian. He’s my world. I love this show and I feel like there’s this connection with these teen moms that only another teen mom can truely understand. But, this show isn’t just for teen moms or moms in general. I love watching it with my friends who don’t have any kids and it’s a way for them to get a glimse of my world. It helps them understand what it’s like for me to juggle everything and try to make time to spend with them. I wouldn’t say I regret having Luc at 15 but it certainly changed every aspect of my life. My best advice to girls out there is to wait. Enjoy your teen years and then someday you can have a family on your terms. It’s for the better. And those of you that are already pregnant, my best wishes. You are all heroes. I couldn’t ask for a more rewarding career as a Mommy.
i think that the show sixteen and pregnent was showed to be a little to glamerous, lke they didnt show how hard it is. to me it made me want to have a baby. the show in my eyes made being teen parent seem easy.
Hi, my name is Kati and im 18 and expecting my baby girl in late feb early march. i saw everyone of these episodes and i realized what a world ima get into. I like partying and hanging out but ima have a baby girl to take care of. UMM me and my boyfriend been together for a year and a half and i already feel our relationship breaking down. a baby doesnt only bring happiness but also responsibilities. to all the mothers and mothers to be good luck and god bless your families and little ones. and look our for baby Arielle Penelope Marine coming late feb early march =)
well i really like 16 and pregnant its a really good show…
i’m just wondering if i can still get 16 and pregnant on regular tv because i dont have satelight or cable.
MARIANA you said you want to get pregnant and not tell your boyfriend. What a selfish little brat you are. Please, do the world a favor, and don’t get pregnant. I have three children, and waited until I was out of high school to have sex. Get a job before you get a baby. And one more thing, kids do NOT love you unconditionally….not sure who told you that. Kids come with all sorts of conditions, and I am POSITIVE that you are not ready to handle any of them.
I AGREE WITH KATI.babies doesnt only bring happiness but also responsibilities.u want to go to da club u can’t go because u have a baby.things will be going well with u an ur boyfriend but as soon as u tell him that u pregrant u feel that he don’t want to be bother with u know more he dnt want nothing to do with you.yall young girls bettr do like madea do klick klick.but for real young girls this world is geting harder every day sooo start using condoms not for him but for u,so u want be a young teen out looking for a job an can’t get one
Just from watching this show, makes me not want to have sex till I’m 30! They really depict the super negative stuff in the show, so I really don’t think this show will lead to more teenage pregnancies.
My sister is only 14 and she’s two months pregnant. Im scared for her and myself. She can barley take care of herself.
Im only nine years old and im seven months pregnant by my boyfriend in sixth grade. Im so happy im so ready for thiss! I have always wanted to have a baby at a young age. That has always been my dream and look my dream came true im young and pregnant.
ummmmm……miss martha what do mean your 9 and pregnant i hope that is some sick type of joke….and i agree with melissa about marianna…u should never get pregnant on purpose and not tell your spouse..that is stupid and it is very selfish…teen girls who purposely get pregnant early are seriously demented….what can u do for tht baby besides love it…you can provide a house, steady income, and purchase the necessary things to raise a child because love is not all it takes…marianna get a grip on reality and realize that ur life is not tv..it’s real and that baby will be yours no mater what FOREVER…there are no redos or makeups with life…u do it once and u take whatever may come from it….
what happened to Ebony in the second season of sixteen and pregnant? and isn’t it now called teen mom?
Latia when you said “teen girls who purposely get pregnant early are seriously demented” is so stereotypical of you to say. My husband and I have been together for a very long time. We got married, bought a house, got our dream jobs, and made sure we were financially extremly well off, all after we graduated when we were 18 years old, and so at the age of 18 when we had all those factors above in place when we purposly got pregnant as it was the next step in life for us. We are still together and are better parents than most people twice our age, we have more money in the bank than anyone we know. Since graduating we have not had one struggle or hardship in life and are now expecting our second and final pregnancy. So you shouldnt say such hurtful judgements on some one just because of there age… you should say those things to people of any age who purposly get pregnant who can not provide the best life possible for a child.
I think this show was simply entertaining, a little sweet… but if you are smart (which, not alot of teens are) you can see that although they make cute couples on the show and they seem to stay together, let’s face it, one was a totally obese bogan with a nurse boyfriend that her family didn’t approve of, one was rejected by her boyfriend repeatedly and told ‘if they weren’t with a baby, they wouldn’t be together’ and others were just with ferals, perhaps ferals themselves. Maybe they ’settled’ and the one smart couple who decided on adoption and appeared to ’school’ their stupid married parents every minute of the show… it’s amazing how smart they were. Don’t be teen pregnant, get a life, get a career, get a clue.!
HI IM ANNA AND MY HUSBAND JISH HAS 19 BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND WE HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD DUAGHTER MAKINZIE RENNE I LOVE THE SHOWS 16 AND PREGNANT AND TEEN MOM
Okay, I watch the show, and so does my husband, we had our first child when I was 18 and he 19.. And the show is totally glammed.. We struggled from day one w/ our son.. They have there hard times yes, but they don’t seem to have the true hard time.. They have there parents totally backing them all the way and paying for stuff.. It’s funny.. It seems that sense there on t.v it’s not as hard as it would of been off screen.. You know.. Like how many 16-17 yr olds can actually afford a apartment w/o someone helping to pay bills.. Not us that was for sure.. My son was 3 before we were set enough to start renting on our own. We had to live w/my boyfriends mother.. But it is a good show, makes me wish we had it that easy..
martha i hope ur kidding.. and i agree with kate, stacey and latia. teen pregnancy is a bigresponsibility. i dont understand the glamour in being a teen mom. its hard and if u cant take care of yourself how are you gonna take care of someone else?? do yourself a favor and waith until you are responsible and mature enough to take care of another life
wow okay all these girls getting pregnant and 14 and 15 seriously need a reality check. your lives are over. i have a 2 year old at home and he is a handful. being 18 with a baby is hard, i could never imagine having one when i was 14 or 15. all i wanted to do back then is hangout with friends and go out to movies and stuff like that, well guess what.. those days are over for you girls. have fun with your new life being 14 or 15 and having a baby at home.
Mariana: Are you on drugs?! You do not just get pregnant and MAGICALLY the baby comes out like “OMFG I LOVE YOU” UGH! What is wrong with you people. 9 AND PREGNANT! I’m not going to sugar coat this for you little fucking kids and your dreams of having a baby. It sucks, you’re too young, you need to get an education, a job, a husband THEN babies. Teens these days are fucking up the system.. UGH. I am just so FRUSTRATED with all these little kids. I was on my Facebook just the other day. A 14 year old with a baby, 15 year old with one on the way COME ON. It’s not cute, it’s not the new fad, it’s nothing. You are bringing another INNOCENT life into this world, do you not understand that! Do you not understand that this baby is your soul responsibility for the next 18 years of it’s life? And also another reality check, getting pregnant, and having a baby, does not under ANY circumstances make a relationship stable and a boyfriend stay. Please, GIRLS. Grow up first. You have your whole life.. or until your ovaries shrivel to have a baby.. take your time. Grow up. Live life.. Jeez.
I’m just amazed at the number of CHILDREN that have posted here stating they’re currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant. My sister, who is 33 years old, just had a baby girl 3 months ago. My sister is NOT married & her sperm donor boyfriend is a lazy, sorry jobless SOB. She’s struggling & I see it, my family sees it. It’s inevitable – she wasn’t prepared for this EVEN AT 33 YEARS OLD – much older than many of you!
I am 26 years old and keep my niece all the time & I tell yall what it’s hard!! When I am sleep at 2 AM and my niece wake up SCREAMING because she wants a bottle, that means it’s time to get up and feed her or change her diaper or make sure she hasn’t spit up or cuddle her or rock her back to sleep. Babies have needs, not only emotional needs, but physical needs – both needs that I don’t believe any PRE-TEEN OR TEEN can provide. It takes an extremely mature and SELFLESS individual to raise a child. Pre-teen and teens, hell even some young adults, know NOTHING about being selfless, they know more about being SELFISH!
Please ladies, think hard before you bring these babies into the world. Because when you do, YOUR life is no longer about YOU, it’s about the baby. Everything you do SHOULD be to make a better life for your baby & if you’re not ready for that then leave babies exactly where they need to stay – in baby land! You’re only babies yourself, you have no idea what the REAL world is even like. Some of you though are hell bent on becoming a “teen mom” & you’re definitely going to learn the wrong way & hard way.
this show is so awesome. me and my bf want a baby but now after looking at Farrahs( she lives in iowa like me) Amber and Maci’s struggling life as mothers and their bfs not helping out as much me and my bf have decided to wait till were married to have sex and start a family. however Catelynn and Tylers relationship makes me so happy that people can get along. and that they are gonna get married. a smile forms on my face when i see them together =) its just almost perfect!
hi, im jaci and i have a 6 month old baby girl. i got pregnant 2 months before my 16th birthday. my boyfriend and i named her alexis paige but unfortunately thats about the only thing we agreed on. i think the series of teen mom and 16 & pregnant portray the right idea but i feel as if its just making more kids want kids young. please girls, im not trying to be a hypocrit but we need to stand up and lower the teen pregnancy rate. i dont regret my daughter but i regret bringing her into this world too early. having a baby made me grow up. i now have a full time job, living with my parents because i cant do it on my own, and a very unstable father for my child. if i could go back i would.. but i cant and im making the best of it. i agree with kate, get a career, a good stable environment, and then think about bringing a wonderful baby into the world. :]
This show is on t.v for a reason; to show all teen girl becoming pregnant has alot of responsibilties.. put on a condom young girls..protect yourself.. or just wait till marriage. i’m 18 and i live in Waycross,GA..ima virgin and i plan on being one until marriage…. JESUS SAVES:)
i really love this show me and my sister would fight to watch this show over the summer
I believe this show is good. It’s educating these young ladies out here having packs to get pregnant or having sex so young to keep a boyfriend that getting pregnant is no joking matter .I’m 25 , married and a stay at home mom taking care of 2 kids and its not easy . To that young lady trying to get pregnant at 15, please wait , dont try to grow up way before your time .Because although mommy or daddy may be around to help you , they have lives to live themselves , and thats selfish of you at 15 to want a baby , not thinking that u have no way to take care of a child .Your parents will be the ones providing for your child , u cant even drive in most states at 15 so how do u take care of a sick child at 15 and u dont have a license or a job , you dont u depend on others to do that . Live your life to the fullest child free , enjoy highschool , theres always time for you to enjoy children after you’ve actually experienced life a little .Instead of thinking about having babies focus on things like college .
hi girls im celena frm texas and ima be 20 in march and i have a 9 mth old baby. im not here to judge but seriously your all wrong with the teenage pregnancys maybe 18 is fine but 15 and 9 i mean omg.. for me its been tuf too but im now attending college and me and my now husband own a home and each our own cars. but even then my mom has to help to babysit little sebastian. i just got blessed with my husband cuz hes not like rian or gary at all. but i think waiting would be the best thing to do. there really is no perfect age to get pregnant but as long as you own a home, a car and have a stable job then its time. wich most of you dont have. i love this show and i love farrah but damn she loves too party and its just wrong. thank god she has a helpfull mom cuz my mom would of not let me go out at all. i mean its your life but dont get pregnant ladies live your life to da fullest. go to college and g live in a sorority house have fun and party allot. cuz there wont be none of that with a baby. depending on your parents and your boyfriend sucks trust me. get a real job and be independent. please be safe and not only think about pregnancies also think of stds. a baby is gone in 18yrs. and std or aids are for life and kill you too and make you have a special needs child too. please dnt have sex just buy a dildo or something but dont have sex.
i understand some of wat you qirls have to say. i qot pregnant at 14 and i was so happy.i was havinq problems at home and i was so in love with my bf of alost two years. sadly i lost my baby at 2 months. i was very sad. i told my boyfriend that thinqs happen for a reason. im 16 now and i loved watchinq the show. it made me open my eyes and show me what my life would of been like. i still want a baby really bad but im waiting till i have a good job and married.
I am 18 years old and 6 and a half months pregnant , i am with my baby’s father and even though im in a good situation there is NOTHING good about being a teen mom. I am keeping my baby and he is a gift from God, but seeing young girls who are 15 and 16 years old say they want baby’s that is ridiculous. Finish high school, go to college, get a job be able to support yourself before you bring an innocent child into the world i think that the show demonstrates amazingly well how stressful it is on the relationship’s of the parents and individually on the mother and father .
First off to the girls who arent ready and are trying to get pregnant on purpose wake up and get a clue.
I happen to be sixteen about to be seventeen and im already eight months pregnant. No its a joy ride. You girls have no idea what your getting into. I know for a fact im not mentally or financially capable of raising a child. So i have chosen adoption. Yes it will be hard. Yes i will cry my eyes out. But i will know its for the best. My daughter deserves the best life possible and unfortunately im not the one who could give her that life. Its not because i dont want her. Its because i love her enough to know i cant give her what she deserves. So please think before you have sex. Especially before you purposely get pregnant. I didnt do it on purpose but that doesnt make it any better. Just please. Be smart.
All Of you girls getting pregnant so young are in for a rude awkeining. It is not as easy as it seems!
okay kids..honestly, some of u really make me mad. im not gunna sit here and freak out..but be smart! having a kid at that young of an age will ruin all your dreams!! right now, im 17 years old, iv had a boyfriend for almost a year and we both have our whole lives ahead of us. we’ve decided to save sex for marriage which is the best way to go. come on girls…really think about this. other wise..you’ll go through with gettin prego “because you want to” and you’ll realize you cant handle it. then you’ll have to put it up for adoption without knowing if it’ll actually get adopted or not! think about the people around you too. your family and friends. who ever said they’d go along with your decision? obviously they’re going to love you forever..but still having a kid this young would not be best for you. THINK ABOUT IT GIRLS!!!
iwatched this show and it opened my eyes to real teen pregnancy. I just found out that im almost two months pregnant and this show is helping me cope with my situation because it goes to show that you’re not alone…
I’m 16 and have a seven month old son (not planned) but he is the most amazing thing that could have happened in my life. I really enjoy watching this show because it reminds me that I’m not alone and there are other teen mothers that have it a lot worse, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone to go off and get pregnant… high school is only four years…enjoy it.
Wow Im seeing alot of young little girls on here talking about how they are pregnant or how they wanna get pregnant, I even read some where on here about a girl who wants to get pregnant and not tell her boyfriend. I think that is just rediculous. I myself am young (22) and I do have a 3 month old baby girl but there is a differnce between being 14-15 still in school have no job and having to live off welfare or thier parents and being married having a great job and having a partner who is head on in the realationship and can take care of his reasponsibility. I have been with my husband for 7 years yes people that would have made me fairly young but we waited intill we were older to do anything and we waited to have a baby intill after we got out of school and got married. I think a baby should have both parents there but if not possible then i think the baby atleast deserves mature parents other then young kids who just wanna have fun and not take care of what they got them selves into. I love this show 16 and pregnant and I have seen some very mature girls on here but I also see some very immature girls on here *farrah* and I just think if you wanted to go out partying and being with your friends other then spending time with your precious baby,then you shouldnt / dont deserve to be in the situation that your in and you should be more carefull. I think farrah was smart when she got birth controll but I also think that she shouldnt put herself in the situation to have to have it.
So basicaly to all you young girls out there who want to have a baby. Think twice. There are many things that can go wrong. You dont know how hard it is to have a baby at a young age, and you shouldnt put a baby in that situation. Especially if you cant take care of it.Your not going to be able to live your life the way you want it and you may even regret it. If you do wanna have a baby young then wait intill your married or atleast find someone that you can spend the rest of your life with like catelynn and tyler. And for you who dont wanna tell your boyfriend, i would really think twice on that. It can be the worste decicion in your life. Try watching the movie The pregnancy pact. That girl lied to her boyfriend and didnt tell him she got pregnant on purpose and it really ruined her life. Its going to be especially hard on *you*.
So Im 20 and i have a 2 month old baby. Unfortunatly I was on the pill and what not and still got pregnant. I found out I was pregnant 2 days before i was going to quit my job. I had everything going for myself..highschool diploma, a job (even though i was quitting i had the option to go back to school) i wanted to do nursing, had an awesome boyfriend i was dating for only a couple months before i got pregnant. I was the type that loved to go to clubs, movies, out for dinner, or just spend the day lounging around at home. When i found out i was pregnant my life came crashing down. because of religious beliefs abortion was not the option for me, and i couldnt stand the thought of adoption. my boyfriend said no matter what my overall decision was he would support it but we BOTH decided to go through with it. Turns out I had to stay at the job i hated, put school on hold. Lost quite a few friends because we had nothing in commen anymore (my true friends stuck by myside) and everything and i mean everything stopped being about me. as soon as i had my baby of course it was instant love. me and my boyfriend have a house and a healthy relationship and i am not trying to glamorize it but i think im one of the very very few girls who get lucky by getting pregnant at this age and having a man by your side. But it still is hard..he goes to work for 8 hours a day while im at home with baby,..tommorow is going to be about 4 days since i stepped outta the house due to the fact its to cold to take my baby outside. me and my boyfriend had never got into an argument until my baby was here because we where both stressed out. its hard when all you want to do is sleep but your baby needs something. its hard having tiem for yourself. during the day i have to make time to either shower, eat, or take a nap because i know anytime soon my baby will wake up. I love being a mom but at the same time i KNOW i should have waited because i grew up a selfish person everything was about me me me. thats all over now. when i have someone willing to babysit her so i can go out its like “ok should i do my hair really nice with no make up, or put on make up and just throw my hair in a pony tail” because dishes laundry tidying up and packing her bag making sure and double checking she has everything she needs….ladies its hard…please rethink your decision…i still have an awesome relationship and a great guy but really…what am i doing for myself?? everything is put on hold for now..so just rethink your decisions…even though i was on the pill i could have done more..i dont regret my baby at all but ladies for your sake….be safe
LMAO!!!!!!! I’m 23 and my husband is 25 and it is far from easy!!! I stay home while he works and I’m about to go crazy! Our daughter just turned 1 in December. All of you young girls have no idea! They the show didn’t tell you what its like to be up literally all nite with a colicy baby nor did it show what’s its like to have a sick baby. All of you are in for a very rude awakening when your babies get it. Don’t get me wrong I love my child more than anything in this entire world. If you have a social life go ahead and kiss it goodbye! When that baby gets here you won’t have time for a social life anymore. Unless your parents raise it and then that’s showing you no responsability at all!! Good luck girls.
When I first started watching the show I felt that it did make teen pregnancy out to be a good and easy thing. Almost all of thess couples had their own place, cars to drive, and were still in a relationship. In many cases none of these are true. It wasn’t until I started watching Teen Mom, which follows thorugh the first year that you started to see the real life issues. This is what teens really need to watch. Having the baby is easy, it is what comes after the baby gets here that is the real test.
seriously, getting pregnant at such a young age, and on purpose is the stupidest thing you can do. your not going to be able to take care of them, and if you think your parents are going to help and do everything, you need a wake up call. your lucky if you even get to finish school, go to college, and get a nice paying job to support yourselves. and if you dont, then your screwed. how are you supposed to raise your kid on nothing?
im 18 and having my first baby in May. iv been with my boyfrind 5 years and watching the show it mkes me sad to see that the only cople that stayed together was the one’s that gave their kid up! before i got prgnant we never fought and were able to live care free but now its overwhelming the amount of arguing we do!i enjoy watching the show and i am also acared that we dont have much hope of being happy together!
also reading through the other girls poasts, it is fucking HARD!!! why on earth would you purposly do that its selfish and you have to be ready iv been working and i had one more year of high school but i will have my GED 3 months b4 my baby is born. no one should be trying to have a kid on purpose at such a young age your not ready and if you girls think having a baby will keep ur boyfriend with you for ever your wrong! me and my boyfriennd are engaged and been together 5 years and me getting pregnant was the hardest thing we have ever had to face!
it mkes me sd that this show encourges people to have kids at a young age, do you see how miserble these poor girls are?
Hello, i’m samantha, im sixteen and have loved this show from day one. Reading some of these stories about girls my age, and YOUNGER wanting to be pregnant, and already are pregnant makes me sick to my stomach. I’m not judging any of you, but the fact of life is, your going to struggle alot more than you think, are you going to be proud to be on welfare, living the shittiest life possible, the person people look down upon, thinking your a slut? what the hell happened to parents these days. for all you young girls out there, your parents are worthless, and your absolutely disgusting, you put a bad name to girls are age.
thanks.
i think the show is ganna be awsome but, teens
the show is really awsome and i love it. but becoming a mom is responsability that i dont think a girl at 16 can handle. i would love to have a little boy but i dont think my bf would. sometimes you have to be really strong on what u really want to do like cattelyn and tylor they r really strong and their little bby carly is precious..
Honestly i think that martha(the 9 year old) should be ashamed of herself. 9 and pregnant.That makes me so mad. I am only thirteen but i still know not to get pregnant if i cant even take care of myself. Your fourteen year old cousin should be ashmed of herself too. I for one think that you shouldnt have a baby if you arenmt emotionally, financially, and physically ready/stable enough for a baby. You have all the time in the wourld so wait to have kids.
YOUNG GIRLS;
“16 & Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” were purposely broadcasted on MTV to show that being a teen mom is INCREDIBLY HARD. What happens when you cant find a job? Or your ex brings you to court and you are accused of being an “unfit” mother? What about when you cant afford diapers let alone baby food? These are all very likely when you become pregnant at such a young age. I am 19, am in college, and have a boyfriend of 2 years that makes great money. However, I have no children and plan on waiting because babies are NOT cute little stuffed animals that you can put back on a shelf when your bored or tired. These are PEOPLE that you are bringing into the world, that will NOT love you unconditionally and will bring ALOT of stress upon you. I am so sensitive about this issue because my mother at 25 had myself and was still not ready, and I ended up facing a really difficult life because of it. Also, to the young girl who is deciding to stop her birth control and not let her boyfriend know – you are seriously SICK, and should consider a mental institution. How HORRIBLE and SELFISH for you to set up your boyfriend like that. It’s people like you that make me wonder often why pathetic people like yourself even exist.
* TEEN PREGNANCY IS NOT FUN AND GAMES, IT IS A MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF ONCE THE DECISION IS MADE *
I deffinatly agree whith everyone being discused with the pregnnt 9 year old where the hell are your parents? you kid will be in foster care the second it comes out, its so difficult i myself was in foster care and no kid is happy there. have fun with DSS in ur life!!! i wish i had wated t least 5 more years but at leat i got my head on straight am in school and got a consistent income and an UNBELIEVABLY suportave family. if people my age and older cnt bairly find work and if we do not even get 40 houres a week what makes a 9 year old or even a 15 or 16 year old think they will get a job to support their kid??? reading some of the dumb shit these girls are saying really upsets me!!! think of a poor innocent baby who has incompotent mom and is hungry. noone should have a kid till they have at least worked a couple jobs and finished or are near to finishing school!!!!
i think that the show is really good for teens an should teach them to not do wat the did
all you young girls are just really dumb getting preggo yet so young when your a child yourself. having a child is a very big responsibility and high bill. take care of yourself first, get school done first before anything else and getting your life together is the best thing you can ever do for yourself. most of all having a stable income and stable life is the most important with having a family. its sad that girls wants kids in young age and they end up complaining of its hard, they cant date they cant have fun and all that bulllshit…..well duhhh…if you wore a condem and be smart you wouldnt have a kid so youngin you would be having fun letting yourself grow first. i was raised right in my family i didnt know what was sex until it was shown to me i never took sex ed never expose to it until i was 18. im now 21, going to college having fun until i find the right person to share it with. sex isnt something you should give away freely i meant your viginity. if you wanna give it up WEAR A DAMN CONDOM!!!!
Before any of you teens get pregnant, you need to learn how to spell first!!!! Finish your education, get married, and then have a baby. It saddens me to see you guys wanting a baby so bad and you can’t even type a sentence without proper grammar and spelling!!! Do us all a favor and DON’T have a baby. I have a job, and am tired of paying your welfare!!!!
I loved season one of 16 and preg. & also teen mom! My fave was farrah and macy. But i really liked watching all of the girls. Um to be honest season 2 looks kind of stupid and also boring. Like none of the girls really seem that interesting. Idk that’s just my oppionion, but of course i can’t wait to see it ! haha.
I really home that they do more shows with farrah and macy, amber and all the season one girls , hmmm maby a teen mom 2 for themmmm. Well yaaaa.
i have no room to talk because I am 18 and pregnant but this was not planned, and I already am seeing the difficulties involved. To some of the girls who say that they are 9, 13, 14 or whatever and they planned this and are excited, I highly doubt thats even true. and if you really are that excited and dont have any stress or see the struggles ahead of you then in no way are you going to be a good mom. how are you going to go to school and work and take care of your child? more then likely your relationship willnot last. i am having my child with a friend ive grown up with for years but both of us know the reality that we most likely will not be together, so we arent entering into a serious relationship because we dont want to ruin the good friendship we have for our child. Eventually youll lose friends, your relationships with your family will change forever and you wont be able to do anything that you had your mind set on. Yes, youll love your child but how do you know that you wont be too stressed and god forbid something terrible happens to your child? You cant help things like that. And i dont even get why at 9 years old your having sex?! How do you even know what your doing?To someone like that, if its true, and you planned it, then there is really something wrong with you in your head and just like someone above me said, youll have child services involved in you and your childs life for a lonnnng time.
I am amazed at all the teen moms and wanna-be teen moms on here. I had my baby when I was 20 and it was hard. I split up with my boyfriend while I was pregnant so I basically raised my baby alone. What the show doesn’t show you is what happens when you don’t have a healthy baby, or when your baby doesn’t fit into the “norm”. My son is a severe asthmatic and we spent many nights in the ER and hospitals. He also didn’t sleep through the night on a regular basis until he was seven years old. That’s a lot of time to be woken up at night. He has ADHD, which is more and more common now days. Your baby will grow and problems can start popping up at any time. Think carefully. You have someone else more important than yourself to consider.
Having a baby is hard no matter what age you are. I have 6month old twins and im married in my twentys and its hard trying to be a good wife and mother working full time. sometimes i want to just be a kid!! I love this show and I hope it shows girls that its not an easy thing to do especially when your young.
I love both shows but my step dad wont let me watch it im 18 and he says its bad for my 13 yr old sister i think she should watch it she needs to see these things hidding her from the world is wrong our mom got prego at 14 and it was verry hard and i no being 18 with no babys its still hard i have to pay for college myself and a car. and the little girl who is nine ur a dumb child i havent even wint threw life n u havent began . i loved the show maci and bentley were my favorit.
Sooooo. I’m 21 years old, and helping raise my fiance’s two year old. Its a wonderful experience, of course; however, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TOO? A bunch of teens getting pregnant just for the fuck of it. You know every kid that pops out of a woman grows up to be something, and it takes someone who knows a little something about life, and who has some fucking clue. Thank you for reading
I love the show. I am a mom since 18, my son is now almost 3. I had him with my first love who was also extremely abusive. We had been together since I was 14 and we thought that when I found out I was pregnant, it would make us closer and better. No. My son did not tear us apart the fact that we were young and were growing up in nine months grew us apart. Children should not have children. I grew up, I was fortunate. However, nine months of rubbing the tummy and listening to the hearbeat is sometimes all you get when you’re young and the father is a party animal. I am happy to say we have been split since my son was 6 months old. Happy, why? If, this hadn’t happened his father wouldn’t have grown up and been in his life. It’s important to have both in a kids life. I sit here and read these comments of kids trapping boyfriends..YES KIDS. It makes me want to puke. Do the world a favor…don’t. You’re not ready and you think he will just stick around? You’re wrong. Because that party will come around and ya’ll will want to go or the prom or whatever. Guess what….you can’t. You may, but you will have to live with the fact that you left the only thing important behind for a stupid dance. I am thankful that I have been with someone since my son was 7 months. Not the father no, but he may as well be partially. Think it’s easy for him either? He gave up his life for my son and myself. Think before you lay ladies. It’s not easy, it’s not always love…Go to school, go to college, get a career, get married…You can wish all you want to go back, but you can’t. You can have a good family to back you up and support you, but that may run dry. Kids being pregnant…makes me sick. Get it together.
I’m eighteen years old and I’m almost five months pregnant. When I have my baby I will be roughly nineteen. This was not planned, but I do see him as a blessing from the Lord. My boyfriend and I are getting married before birth, and due to his career in the military are financially stable. I can’t help to think of just how fast I have to grow up though. I had to drop all my campus classes and continue college online which wiped out my social life almost completely. Going out and socializing isn’t an option when your saving money for your little one. You have to think about formula if you decide not to nurse, you have to think about gas to get back and forth from the doctor’s office, diapers and baby wipes, clothes – they grow out of everything before you can blink, and those are just the necessities of their life. Their’s late nights of ear infections, colleic, fevers, and attitude. From one girl to another try your hardest to wait. Children may be your passion, but your definately not theirs. They don’t love you unconditionally, you have to love them unconditionally and love the responsibility. Get married the right way, to the right guy, and then have children at the right time with an education.
the thing thats getting to me with all these comments r ppl saying these girls shouldnt be having kids so young, but is it even crossing ne bodys minds that these girls shouldnt even be having sex at their age…im mean forget the fact of a kid what about the sex and where r the parents of this 9,14, and 15 year old that r having sex and getting pregnant?
Firstly I hate the show it does glam up teen pregnancy and after reading all these comments makes more girls want babies.. IM 22 yrs old ive lived abroad, own a brand new mustang, and am about to graduate college with 129 credits not many of these teen moms can say that by the time they are 22 they can have the same!!! WAKE UP LADIES educate yourselves give your baby.. high standards cause yours were set high and accomplished.. secondly i have a few friends who had teen moms as kids and lets just say there relationship is screwed up!!!!
Wow!!!! ok first thing I don’t see why teen parents and children are bragging on planning getting pregnant. Don’t get me wrong a baby is a blessing from GOD, but does your child need to be punish not being feed, clothed, or having to live off of wellfare forever??? I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant! I gave up varsity cheerleading and my social life! Im proud to say I never gave up on school and can’t wait to start college this fall. My family wasn’t always supportive and I don’t blame them if they only want’ed best for me. I have a beautiful son who has 2 parents. No, me and the father aren’t together but the father is in college and has a great full time job AND LOVES HIS SON. I don’t regret my son and I want him to have a better life then what me and his father had. So don’t judge me because unlike other teen moms, children, and even drug attic adults who are moms…. I am going to finish high school, go to college, and work my way on getting my place for me and my son. I need a little help but who doesn’t??? But like I said for all ya little brats who want to bring a baby into this world and not do a danm thing just because your to stress, or its to hard, or my boyfriend doesn’t wanna help me, SUCK IT UP BECAUSE THAT BABY OF YOURS IS DEPENDING ON YOU!!! AND IF YOUR TO LAZY, BEST BELIEVE THEY WILL TAKE THAT BABY AWAY FROM YOU, AND REMEMBER GOD GAVE YOU A BLESSING SO TAKE CARE OF IT AND GROW THE HELL UP!!! P.S CPS WILL BE THERE IN A HEART BEAT TO TAKE THAT BABY FROM A NEGLECTED PARENT, TRUST ME MY SISTER IS A CPS WORKER AND DANM PRUD OF IT!!!!
I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant with twins and man was it a surprise. My daughters just turned a year old and it’s not any easier. I’m really curious to see how season 2 is paticularly the couple having twins.
I was 17 when I had my son, and it was hard getting used of having him around, and taking care of all his needs, still to this day it’s hard. But I know I have to do it. I got pregnant before 16 and Pregnant aired, and once I got out of the hospital, couple days after, there it was. Girls that were in the same situation I was in, and it helped me become a better mother, it was like I was learning with all of them. Having a baby at a young age is not easy, it’s not a game either, you have to be there every day, caring for him/her, there’s no more time to do what you want to do. It’s sad to think about. I would never let any of my friends get pregnant, because I know how hard and stressful it could be. Sacrifices, thats what it is to be a mother/father. Most of the young parents I know, are not together anymore, because of the pregnancy, I am lucky enough to still have my baby’s daddy. There are alot of times we’ve broken up, and left each other, due to the stress. All of it, was making us argue almost everyday. I love my son with all my heart, and I don’t want him growing up without a dad, breaks my heart thinking that one of these days his dad might leave forever, then I’ll be the one having to explain everything to him when he gets older, why his dad ain’t around anymore. I regret being so stupid, and not listening to my family. We should’ve grew up more, before I got pregnant, maybe then it would’ve worked more better, we would know how to deal with anger, and responsiblities. But then again, each day that goes by, I see my boy grow up, and I see myself growing with him too.
I love this show, I think that it shows the real life of a teen mom. People say this is horrible to put this on TV, but I think its great. It makes me not to want to have a child this young because I see the struggles they go though. I know that I could not be able to do this. It shows the truth, and I personally think it makes teen realize they may not be able to do that. It made me feel that way.
I like watching the show, or any baby show for that matter. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis at 20. That means my chances of becoming pregnant are slim, and if it continues to get worse I could lose my uterus, or overies…Those of you getting pregnant at such a young age are so stupid, you are taking advantage of something that people like me have waited for. I’ve wanted kids since I learned where babies come from and now that all might be taken away from me. I love the show and think those of you that are being smart about it are brave, but you’re stupid.
i am a 27 year old mother of 2. being a mother is great.. however it is hard. After reading most of the comments i really hope that most of you considering getting pregnant rethink it. having a stable life and being able to live on your own with your spouse is a must. you need to have a car to drive your child around (which obviously means you need to be old enough to drive first.) you need money to pay for food, diapers, medicine, dr visits, clothes and the many other things a baby needs. especially if your child has any issues and has to see a dr often or needs a special formula (which is PRICEY!) there are so many other things to consider. you can’t just assume that you will be able to handle it. i don’t know what i would do without my husband or family! babies are a FULL TIME responsibility and when you are young it changes everything. i was 22 when i had my daughter and it still took me a while to get used to it. you have to get a whole new group of friends because you can’t do the things you did before and your friends dont care if you can’t get a sitter! i highly recommend waiting until you are ready. no one is ready at 16! probably not even before 20!
i AM 20 AND A MOTHER OF 2! MY LiTTLE GiRL iS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND MY SON iS JUST 6 DAYS OLD! i TELL YOU iTS NOT EASY! i WAS MARRiED AND GOT PREGNANT WiTH MY DAUGHTER ON OUR WEDDiNG NiGHT AND THEN WHEN SHE WAS JUST 2 MONTHS OLD i GOT PREGNANT AGAiN AND JUST HAD HiM 6 DAYS AGO AND iTS NOT EASY, WiTH MY LiTTLE GiRL iT WASNT REAL BAD BECAUSE SHE SLEPT REAL GOOD AND NEVER FUSSED BUT WiTH HiM HE DONT SLEEP WE ARE UP TiL’ 4 OR 5 iN THE MORNiNG AND THEN WAKE UP AT 7 OR SO WiTH MY DAUGHTER SO iTS REALLY TOUGH BEiNG A MOM! iTS A REALLY GREAT FEELiN’ BEiNG A MOM AND WATCHiN’ THEM GROW UP AND EVERYTHiNG BUT i WiSHED i WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL AND WAiTED! i WOULD HAVE REALLY LiKED TO HAVE ENJOYED BEiNG MARRiED FiRST FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT THiNGS HAPPENED FOR A REASON AND i WAS BLESSED WiTH 2 HEALTHY BABiES AND HONESTLY i DONT THiNK i COULD PiCTURE MY liFE ANY WAY ELSE!

i can barely crawl and im pregnant with my second child. i love the show, and when i turn 16 i’m going to get pregnant again so i can be on it
yay
i am 97 years old and i just had my 30th child last year.
My name is Jessica I’m 19 and 33 weeks pregnant it’s disappointing to me considering I’m just increasing the pregnancy rate of teen moms mine wasn’t planned either I wanted to be a USA womens hockey player I wanted to attend college and play beerpong and enjoy the little things in life but I didn’t get the chance. I currently live with babies father he is 25 but jobless and has a drinkin addiction. It puts so much stress and depression on me which my problems is transferred to my son and all these single moms think everything will be good and heavenly it’s not I still haven’t passed the hardest parts and I’m scared to death. It’s the worst feeling in the world to lose what you have the opportunity for and girls don’t realize that many of your own mothers probably already said “I wanted what’s best for you ” So what’s the best you can give your child? Oh that’s right before you can pay for sports and health you have to have money…. It’s about responsibility , maturity, and thinkin if you can’t take care of yourself how can you take care of a child? I also hate the can’t sleep at night, to stretch marks to weight gain , can’t even be comfortable it sucks I tell ya
I honestly think this show is making the matter of teen pregnancy worse. I’m in high school and sex is the number one topic you’ll hear about this show, is second. There is one girl at my school that has gotten pregnant because she wanted a baby like Leah, who is one the babies on the show. She is now due in May. I don’t know if this is coincidence or not but our school hasn’t had one teen pregancy in six years we now have four, they all came about after the show became popular here. Other girls are always talking about the show and how easy some of the mothers make it look. And how some mothers on the show don’t do anything and let the Grandparents take care of it and how fun it would be. I also know seven girls who have become sexually active and are trying for kids, three of them started because they wanted to be on the show or be like the moms on the show the other four were convinced by those three. In my opinion the show has a good message but it isn’t getting across.
Hi,I am 27 years old n I have 3 kids I have one that is 6 years old the other one is 4 n the last one berly turned 1 year old .I love my kids to death i would do anything for my kids. But one thing my kids don’t have there dad in there life’s that really does sticks but one thing I do have the help from my family n some of my friends .but ever u have a baby ur life changes so much cause u don’t even get to go out like wen u didn’t have a baby.so might of well wait till u finish ur school n get a good job to support ur self n ur kid. DON’T HAVE SEX OR HAVE KIDS SO YOUNG. DON’T BE STUPID, DON’T RUIN UR LIFE SO YOUNG .
I am 18 married and very comfortable financially. I got pregnant at 16 and sadly lost my baby. But the point is, at 16 I was ready, I’ve been living on my own since 13 and was married and stable at 16. But my honest opinion is wait to have babies until you can afford it, have the time, and have a very stable life. It is very rare to be in my situation but if you are make sure you really think about your choice.
And to the people saying “I want a baby because it will love me unconditionally” its not true, children take things for granted and Can you really handle being 23 and having your 13 year old say “I fucking hate you?”
At 21 you want to go out and drink and party oh but wait you can’t because you have a 12 year old to take care of.
It irritates me that there’s some women like me who have worked their asses off to have kids spent thousands of dollars so we can have the family we desire and are 100% ready for, and you young immature kids are going to get knocked up end up kicked out of your parents house your boyfriends won’t talk to you because you didn’t tell them you purposely got pregnant, now your on the streets and your 15 your child got taken by the state and women like me get them while you get to be freezing and hungry because of your choices.
What if your baby gets sick when born and ends up in the hospital? Are you going to go mow lawns until you come up with the $5000 it takes to pay the bill and keep your baby in the hospital? If you charged $10 dollars for every lawn you mowed you’d have to mow 500 lawns to pay your sick baby’s bill. What if your baby gets sick and needs a $30 dollar prescription? you’re going to have to let baby be sick wile you go walk someone’s dog to come up with part of the money. Think about it. All you girls say “All this baby needs is love” Well when you have to feed your baby are you going to sell this “love” to come up with the money? That’s what we call hookers.
Okay, Hello My name is Melissa, I’ve been watching 16 and pregnant every week since its first started, I dont see why some Girls Drop their pants, dont use protection, and then wonder why their pragnant, Im 14 almsot 15, My sister Heather was Pregnant at my age, I cant see why she was so DUMB!, But anyways, I absolutly HATE when these young girls get pragnant and have their Baby(s) and the Fathers a Jerk and so into them selfs, I plane on Staying Abstiance, (sorry i cant spell right now lol) Mt sister and some friends who have been pregnant have tought me some vert valuable lessons, After spring break i get the electronic baby and see how hard they truly are to take care of. I really cant wait to, But one thing i know i can wait for is a real Kid, I know you need Money and Time for a kid(s). When i have a kid if its a boy i want to name it Adeon Jay, or a Girl Alexandrea May, But i can wait until i have a kid, maybe some twins
that would be awesome, All i hope is when i have the kid, is the Father is around and helps out. I want our Family to stay together. Well love you all
