There are so many television shows and movies that all teens watch and find interesting about teen moms and teen pregnancy. Each of these shows demonstrate a teen getting pregnant around the age of 15, 16, or 17 years old. The shows make teen pregnancy seem easy and that anyone can do it, when really these teen moms are being payed to be on a television show which is helping them in the long run to pay for their child. Also, on these shows most of the parents are the teen moms seem very supportive and happy about the situation but in real reality this would never happen. Most parents would be upset with their teen for have a child. Since the television shows make it seem so easy, I feel teens are becoming pregnant and not being so cautious about using protection, because of the shows and teens being paid to be on the show. In the article
Is the Media Promoting Teen Pregnancy?, the author talks about the movie Juno and how they change up the reality of teen pregnancy and make it seem like a happy movie about a teen having a baby and putting the baby up for an open adoption, which the author then disagrees with me by saying, "However, this teenage girl had sex anyway and it wasn’t a case of her boyfriend wanting to have sex and pushing her to agree to it nor was it something she felt she had to do to fit in with her friends or live up to social expectations; it was simply a curious girl who was in love with a boy and wanted to have sex. Sorry to break it to you, folks, but this is the way real life works–Teenagers are curious about sex, they wonder what it is like and yes, they’re going to have sex and it’s most likely going to be after you told them not to." The author feels that teens are always curious about sex and no matter where they see it or hear about it they are going to try it just because everyone else is doing it. The author also feels teens will go against their parents just because their parents said not to do it. In the article
Teens Becoming Pregnant to Get on 'Teen Mom', the author talks about how teens are becoming pregnant just to be on the show and make money. For example, the author says, "This is out of control celebrity culture. Reality TV first began by exploiting people's problems, assuming they would do anything for fame. The idea of teenage girls getting pregnant to be on television shows that reality TV is going a step beyond exploiting problems. It is now creating the problems." This author would disagree with the other article by saying teens are just becoming pregnant because they want to be that girl on television, where as the other author clearly states teens are curious about sex and do it because they want to know what it is like. The media and magazines are advertising so many reality shows and movies making teen pregnancy seem so easy and that anyone can do it. This is a huge problem among teens because they feel that reading it in a magazine and seeing it on t.v, that they should do the same. Which in the end, is going to affect their regular lifestyle.
