I don't see how Juno glamorizes teen pregnancy in fact it's just the opposite she has to get fat, deal with people being rude at school, the pain of birth and even though it dosen't show the hardship of being a teen mother it shows the difficulty of losing a child, it's dumb that they blame it on a movie thee girls chose to be stupid and not use protection.

Juno and The Secret LIfe of The American Teenager didnt do this those movies tried to show how bad teen pregnacy is.
