MTV, in effort to make teen audiences more aware of the problem of teen pregnancy and the difficulties of being a teen mom, developed 16 and Pregnant to follow the pregnancy of six American teens and the births of their children. The show tracked the difficulties the teen girls had with their families and with the fathers of their children, as well as the problems they experienced with finishing school and dealing with peers. With the success of 16 and Pregnant, MTV saw fit to continue to follow the girls into the first year of life as mothers with Teen Mom. This show further explored financial woes and even more family and relationship problems, successfully showing the reality of being a teen parent.
