unpopular culture

Have you ever watched the show Teen Mom on MTV? It amazes and astounds me that these youg teenage girls are being celebrated for getting knocked up. This teenage pregnancy phenomenmo has gone way to far. Although the show can be informative in some aspects such as how hard it is just being a mom, and that things don’t just magically work out the way you want them too just because you want them too. MTV had the right idea in mind by taking these girls and sharing there story in hopes of other young women watching and learning from the mistakes these girls have made. But it didn’t turn out the way the producers and writers expected. Instead, the show has made these girls famous! Now everywhere you go you see magazines shouting the latest hijinks of the goirls from Teen Mom. The show also sends the message that its ok to get pregnant at 16 because you might have a shpt at fame. MTV held open auditions for the show, and there were girls intentionally getting pregnant for the chance to be on the show. But its ok, yolu don’t have to do something great for your chance at fame.  Although there lives are shown on the show to be difficult and sad, the magazines show them to be superstars thus glorifieng having children at such a young age. The teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. is the highest in the world. In one year, 750,000 teenage girls will become pregnant. Unmarried teens account for 24 percent of babies born per year and 2/3 of teen moms will not graduate from high school. Scary huh?
