Shows promoting teen pregnancy patronize viewers | The Nevada Sagebrush - 0 views

While MTV tries desperately to portray “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” as simply day-in-the-life type shows, like glorified episodes of “True Life,” it is evident that these shows are every bit as preachy as “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” an ABC Family show that is just raging with pro-life messages and Christian value undertones.

While MTV’s tactic is meant to be a subliminal public service announcement, having the teen moms repeatedly talk about their inability to practice safe sex (with most girls blaming their boyfriends for not wanting to use condoms) and crying about how they just want to party like regular teens just makes the girls look like buffoons and exposes them for the naïve children they really are.
