As i'm gathering research for my high school senior project on how society treats teenage pregnancy, many of the reviews above sadden me. I must be a liberal Californian or maybe just human but the way you bash on these very inspiring women in such a disrespectful way, is not gonna get you much further than whatever honky-tonk state you're from... I'm 17,kid-less,and can promise you that teenagers having babies is not the source of the problem here in the USA. If you think this show is trash and you rather poke needles in your eyes, than i pray to god your daughter has triplets as a teen and they cry in your ears until they make you have wished you would of exposed such a preventable show to your kids. Many more adults disadvantage this economy and end up on welfare faster than any teen parent i know. Keep your ignorance off such an empowering shows review listings. Mainly because I rather give birth on president trump's white house lawn than hear what any of you people have to say about the show!

I LOVE this show and 'some' of the positive influences that the show portrays. I would have given this a 10 but there is one person of the show who should be permanently removed; yes Farrah. She is such an ignorant person. She's so mean to her mom and shows her actions are OK in front of her child as she reacts towards her mom. Come on now, your child is seeing this and a child reactions are from what they see and are exposed to. I wouldn't be shocked to see the baby girl acting the same way to Farrah as Farrah acts towards her mom; Farrah is allowing her t do this now to her mom. It's time to get over the way her mom was when she was younger, you live, learn and move on. It's time for that. I just wished she would see this and her mom would just let her grow and realize what she has and come to her own realization that it's mistreatment. I feel so sorry for Farrah's mom and daughter, even those whom she encounter. She's a time bomb that's exploding slowly and getting worse as it goes along. GET IT TOGETHER FARRAH, GROW UP. PLEASE MTV, continue to air the show and portray the positive people and their actions, but remove Farrah. She alone, miserable, and a sad, sad, case. The is and will be so much better without her. The other ladies are GREAT, show positiveness in their actions and lives; it's always that bad apple, 'Farrah', that ruins the whom bunch. She's BAD for the show and should not be aired on any future ones-should there be any.

I avoid reality shows in general, but find those that challenge people athletically to be tolerable. But THIS one, which I have avoided until I recently, out of boredom, made the unfortunate choice of watching - completely sent me over the edge. I found myself asking the question: which teen mom do I want to slap the hardest? And which of their parents should be slapped even harder? First, Farrah: Spoiled, shallow, defensive, angry, and totally removed from reality. After watching Farrah verbally abuse her mother thru 4 episodes, and give away a dog because it was inconvenient to make the effort to train it, it makes me cringe to think about what kind of person, her toddler, Sophia will be. Most likely, Sophia will be: spoiled, shallow, defensive, angry, totally removed from reality, and hopefully rude as hell to her overbearing, narcissistic mother. Farrah seems to believe she's a Kardashian. She's not. Then there is Maci: a pretty, blond who is bored with life. In every scene, between flipping her hair around, she seems to be constantly thinking about how to stir up conflict, and has to be the center of attention at any cost. Her poor child, Bentley, named after a vehicle, is never allowed to be away from her because she disrupts his peace by appearing wherever he is, and making him want to be with her to the point of crying pitifully. I noticed Maci's skin progressively deteriorating into flagrant acne after a few episodes, and her personality becoming more manipulative and less pretty. Then there is Amber: this girl was ruined before she started. She has no imagination, and wallows in self-pity. I shudder at the thought that she has a child, and hope she is never allowed to raise a child. Catelynn is the most interesting of all the teen moms because she actually loved her child enough to sacrifice her own selfish desires and place her child with a good family. Her child actually has a chance at being raised to have self esteem, and a future. Catelynn has the most dysfunctional parenting situation of all the teen moms, yet has the most supportive partner in Tyler who actually listens to her, and doesn't make every scene about him. Tyler, who also has to literally raise his own father, the idiot Butch, seems unusually stable and mature for his age. I found myself rooting the most for Catelynn to succeed because, although she is very young and has NO role models, she is the most unselfish of the 4 teen mom's. As far as this show representing anything about reality, it does not. Most teenage girls who get pregnant don't have the money to live in their own apartments and go to college, or hire a nanny. This show actually encourages teenage girls to get pregnant, and I'm very disappointed that MTV would participate in such a trashy project. How about a reality show entitled, "Hollywood Whores?" featuring the soul traders of Hollywood, and how many lives they ruin in exchange for profit, sexual favors, and promises of success that will never happen? I'd watch that.

Teen Mom is the perfect example of television that destroys the brains of our youth.This along with Skins, Jersey Shore, and what ever is shown on MTV can be taken account for that you may be rewarded for being a fool in life.Teen Mom follows the lives of many lucky teenagers that were dumb enough to go get knocked up, bring a child in this world, and then make millions of dollars off a TV show that just teaches the teenagers today to screw up, and you too may end up on television.In the last season one of the teen moms, (Amber Portwood) was arrested for assault and many other charges. This child has been made into celebrity status thanks to this show glorifying trash and giving teenagers today another useless person to look up to that does not give them any good.MTV once was a network that devoted their creation to showing music videos. Now today this is all they show. They complained about true artists that they refused to broadcast their music videos for many excuses (Such as Michael Jackson's videos being so long, and the message in certain heavy metal groups) yet music videos were a hassle, they have NO problem what so ever showing off trash to the world such as this and Jersey Shore. So if you ever find yourself watching MTV and start asking yourself "How did this garbage get on the air?" then pat yourself on the back for having a big enough brain to not make them even more rich watching such filth.
