I feel as though teen pregnancy is being influenced by the shows on television. There is no reason for young, naive teenage girls getting pregnant at age 16. MTV is the biggest promoter of teen pregnancy through "16 & Pregnant" and "Teen Mom". These shows demonstrate struggling, uninfluenced, teens fighting with their families and boyfriend or baby daddy because they are pregnant. This is a horrible thing to display on television. Some girls who watch these shows assume if they get pregnant they can also become famous like those on "16 & Pregnant" and "Teen Mom". Teen pregnancy is not good for the baby because the mothers are not experienced, may not live in a safe environment, and it is more likely to have an abortion. I believe teen pregnancy should try and be stopped instead of encouraged.
