Teen Pregnancy in the Media

They made Teen Mom to show kids that it is harder then it looks and that this is an epidemic but it is an preventable epidemic, MTV is trying to teach Teens about safe sex and if you don't it could be trouble for you,  By watching this show MTV got teens to settle down and the pregnancy rates drop over the pasted 20 years except for a small spike from the 2005 to 2007, they did the show with white middle class women and not lower class women because they didn't want the public to discount the show as 'Oh that doesn't apply to me'
