The MTV Series 16 And Pregnant

The MTV series 16 And Pregnant and its follow up series titled Teen Mom is a documentary like series that first aired in 2009 on June 11 and since then has had many seasons and sequels to follow it. Each episode in the series focuses on several young girls for 5-7 moths while they have to deal with the struggle of teenage pregnancy and “life after labor”. The initial idea or the show was to promote teen pregnancy prevention but, with many of the girls behaving scandalously and recklessly during the series, the show has become one of the most controversial on MTV.

16-year-old Maci Bookout is a high school junior from Chattanooga, Tennessee and she is 16 & pregnant. Prior to the birth, the episode focuses on her boyfriend Ryan Edwards’s

For instance Farrah Abraham, who in the show is usually seen boy hunting, fighting with her mom and sister, and nearly neglecting her responsibilities as a mother (find specifics). She lets her daughter “do her own thing while she does hers” Her life after 16 & Pregnant isn’t much different. . “Over the past year-and-a-half, former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham has released two adult films, been booted from ‘Teen Mom’, appeared on Couples Therapy (solo), hawked a line of sex toys, and been criticized for not taking care of her daughter, among other things”. (Majesk) But the thing about Farrah is that she doesn’t regret it at all. Farrah can be seen as the antithesis to Maci. In recent years she has used her popularity to make a name for herself instead of helping other teen girls. Recently she debuted as a singer at the 340 Nightclub in Pomona, California, and was cast in the movie “Axeman II: Overkill’’, and is currently working on her “porn career”. It can be said that Farrah aka “the most irresponsible 16 & pregnant star”, and others like her, are one of the main reasons that 16 & Pregnant has such a bad name and a reputation for being the show that generates some of the most undeserving teen stars

Maci, who did not, is now the mother of a five year old son. Nevertheless, she proactively speaks out about teen pregnancy prevention to help other young girls. Yet some of the girls who come from the show do not always leave with the best intentions or become great role models. Like Ferrah, who used the show to skyrocket herself to fame. The show also caused conflict due to the fact that a majority of the series is faked or reenacted and edited to appear real. Be that as it may, teen pregnancies in the US have been progressively dropping in recent years and continue to drop, although no one can identify whether that is causation or a correlation. Even so one thing remains, 16 & Pregnant to this day still one of MTV most controversial TV
