A pregnant cheerleader on the hit show Glee, real life moms on the popular MTV reality show Teen Mom...just two examples of popular television shows with story lines focusing on teen pregnancy but leaving out ways to prevent pregnancy in the first place. Could society's fascination with these shows be a reason teen pregnancy rates are on the rise?

  • JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN REPRODUCE DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD.

  • I say if there mature & responsible enough to have sex , then they are most likely to be responsible to have a baby , its there life , people just need to stop worrying about other people . If it really affects you , do something about it .

  • Hmm, well ultimately it's their choice to have sex in the first place but... my neighbors daughter is 16 and pregnant. The first thing out of her mouth is can I be on teen mom!!

  • you go so far but in the end you'll come back to the normal human source, the world has gone really bad

  • @iboredmyboring also my had me at 16 my bro at 19 so this show does not glamorize teen pregnancy. it shows what really happens especially when the dad bolts. so now instead of me bing a statistic of teen moms having children that grow up to b teen moms i had my 1st at 25. my mom alway made sure i knew i could come to her. about sex and bc. bcuz of that reason. did u make ur daughter know she could come 2 u. or did u push her away when the subject came up. do not blame a show for it.

  • @iboredmyboring u can not blame ur daughter and her friend being pregnant on tv. if u would have talked to her about safe sex maybe she wouldnt b pregnant.

    There's alot of things wrong with teens getting pregnant! It's a problem today! We don't need any more feeble minded ignorant teen girl's getting pregnant and populizing the earth! Soon our earth will blow to shreds due to teen pregnancy!! Further more sir..... Point being, teen pregnancy is wrong. A NO NO! *Wags finger*

  • @TheFishKilla94 Just because they become pregnant at 16 does not make then whores.There were multiple girls throughout the 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom series that had had only one or two sexual partners(same as the rest of highschool).Some of the girls were on BC,others used condoms.The pull out method, when done right, has nearly the same amount of reliability as the condom.As for your other statement,whether these girls have sex NOW or later,they will still add to the earths population.

  • Why would anyone watch MTV any ways?!

  • Last time I checked MTV doesn't produce sperm to get someone pregnant.
