Care to add what the abortion rate was? Just because a baby wasn't born doesn't mean it wasn't created!!
An abortion is as easy to get as a double cheeseburger these days.edit on 28-12-2012 by marbles87 because: (no reason given)

Still forgetting about the child. Every one of those tv mums break down and cry all the time because of the hassle of having a kid.

Name one parent who has not cried or broke down over the hardship of having a kid? I know parents going crazy beause of their kid and they planned the kid.
So just because the girl sheds a tear which teen girls can do on command it's scaring other girls away?

Now get the options of girls from inner cities where these girls are having kids like fashion accessories.
This world shouldn't be about entertaining the intellegent at the possible harm of the less than informed.

Again My point I'm trying to make is weather or not the show is having a positive or negative impact and since you can't say anything Nice I'll say you probably would agree it should come off the air.
The show infact glamorized those girls. If it was not the fact they were unwed teenage moms they would be nobodies to the world. The show took something we were trying to say was negative and turned a handful of girls into celebrities. Now who is going to speak for the babies when they are humiliated becuse of the circumstances of their moms fame.
I'm from Ohio and lets just say the Midwest isn't where all the geniuses hang out. No offense if you live there but you probably understand what I'm saying. The women and girls from my part of the country will have 3 kids before they can legally buy a drink and they eat these shows up. They relate to the girls like they are Friends. These girls that love the show have kids just for the sake of having kids it's bad. I think it just goes to show that what might not influence you and your slice of earth might be taken as holy scripture to someone else.

These shows are saying that having children as teens is acceptable in today's society which is a negative in reality. I'm curious if a poll was taken and it asked high school girls if they think that it is acceptable to be a teen mom.
To follow these girls around with a tv crew is promoting their behavior because commen sense tells us if you are on tv whatever you are doing is cool. Unless its a show like locked up or something and then there are probably some who think being a prisoner would be cool.
If you are 17 and married to your high school sweet heart and the man is working then have kids till your ovaries fall out as long as they are being supported.
These girls on the show are unwed jobless drama queens being immortalized for their poor teenage decisions all for the sake of tv at the expense of whatever young female minds that might be watching.
Last summer, in a national telephone poll of young people ages 12 to 19 commissioned by the National Campaign, 82 percent of those who had watched “16 and Pregnant” said the shows helped them understand the challenges of pregnancy and how to avoid it. Only 15 percent said the show glamorized pregnancy. In a study with Boys and Girls Clubs of America chapters in one Southern state, the campaign learned that after watching “16 and Pregnant” with a group leader, nearly half the teenagers talked to a parent about it.
