16 and Pregnant is a reality show about teenage girls in high school who unexpectedly become pregnant. Each episode follows a different girl and gives their background information and how they found themselves at this place in their lives. This show is on MTV and first aired in June of 2009. The show is played in a documentary type format and typically starts when the girl is six to eight months into her pregnancy. MTV also created a spin-off to this show called Teen Mom, which follows some of the mothers from 16 and Pregnant and shows viewers how these mothers are dealing with their first years of being moms.
I think this show is one of MTV's best, it shows the viewers (who tend to be high school and college students, mostly girls) what its like to be a young, and many times single, mother. Im very glad that MTV did not glamorize this topic at all because teenage pregnancy seems to be a very popular subject these days with so many young girls getting pregnant. I think its a good way for girls to see that in most cases, they are not ready for children and they should be extremely careful to not get pregnant.
