'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.
