When it comes to the topic of teen pregnancy, some of us will readily agree that shows like "16 and Pregnant" promote teen pregnancy. Where this arrangement usually ends, however, is the question of how the producers of “16 and Pregnant” turned teen mothers into stars. While some are convinced that “16 and Pregnant” has helped reduce pregnancy rates, others argue that teenagers see the fame and benefits of having a baby. I agree that "16 and Pregnant" promotes teen pregnancy because after "16 and Pregnant" got so many views, MTV decided to make a spin-off show called "Teen Mom." “16 and Pregnant” shows some of the difficulties that teenage mothers face. Financial problems are a big problem when having a child at a young age. MTV doesn't let viewers see it because the stars of "16 and Pregnant" earn a maximum of $5,000 an episode. According to the article “'Teen Mom' Stars' Salaries Revealed,” Jordan Sanchez states, “Money is the only reason he's willing to do the show. You can't pass up money like that” (“'Teen Mom' Salaries Revealed”). Sanchez is basically saying that the money they make on the show is what they really want. The stars of “16 and Pregnant” aren't trying to show teenagers that being pregnant while young is a struggle because all they want is money. How are teenagers supposed to learn from "16 and Pregnant" when MTV lies about the financial compensation mothers receive? “The Pregnancy Project,” a film based on a true event, shows how a high school senior faked her pregnancy for her senior. project. In the film she showed how her fellow students saw her as a stereotype. A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and simplified image or idea of ​​a particular type of person or thing. The students of his school... middle of the paper... a young child. Teen pregnancy is a big problem in the world, and shows like "16 and Pregnant" help teens see what it would be like to have a baby. It causes teens to look into birth control and other sex-related issues. MTV helped teens see the truth about having a child, and thanks to the show, the teen pregnancy rate dropped to 5.7% and that's a good thing for future generations. “16 and Pregnant” is both good and bad for teenagers. I agree that teenagers learn from the evil in the show. Some teenage mothers on the show have been arrested and convicted on drug charges. One mother, Janelle Evans, had her son taken away from her and had to go to rehab. When teens see this, they realize that not all teen pregnancies are a good thing. “16 and Pregnant” mostly shows teenagers that there are benefits to having a baby. Mainly "16 and Pregnant" promotes teen pregnancy.
