Plot:
MTV's "16 and Pregnant" is an
hour-long documentary series focusing on the controversial subject of
teen pregnancy. Each episode follows a 5-7 month period in the life of a
teenager as she navigates the bumpy terrain of adolescence, growing
pains, rebellion, and coming of age; all while dealing with being
pregnant.Each story offers a unique look into the wide variety of
challenges pregnant teens face: marriage, adoption, religion, gossip,
finances, rumors among the community, graduating high school, getting
(or losing) a job. Faced with incredibly adult decisions, these girls
are forced to sacrifice their teenage years and their high school
experiences. But there is an optimism among them; they have the
dedication to make their lives work, and to do as they see fit to
provide the best for their babies.
