MTV's 16 and Pregnant

[Chicago88]

I agree DrPhil. Although I do feel that the show portrays the males to look like they don't play an equal part or take responsibility. Thats what I meant. They're all equally as guilty for making the careless mistake of having unprotected sex in the first place. Chelsea Lately was talking about this last night how girls were intentionally getting pregnant to audition for the show 16 and prego. Having a child as a teen DOES NOT MAKE YOU COOL by any measure. I'm sorry.

The problem is that it can be hard to make teenagers really understand the concept of consequences. Making them understand that sure, being on tv is cool, but it isn't worth a permanent life change can be difficult.
