this is a good show for anyone high school and up who is really mature. its very emotional and sad at times but it really makes you think about what would happen if you did things like this (having sex at a young age). but it has good messages the only problem would be language which honestly isn't too bad.

What Parents Need to Know
About 16 and Pregnant
Parents need to know that this reality series about teen pregnancy highlights the difficulties associated with being pregnant and becoming a young mother. Discussions about sex include metaphors like "doing the hokey pokey" and stronger references that are bleeped out (salty language beyond words like "hell" and "damn" is also bleeped). While the series doesn't really offer any new information on the subject of teen pregnancy -- at times focusing more on relationship drama than issue-related content -- it can potentially serve as a starting point for parents to talk to teens about sex and its consequences.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the messages that the media sends about sex and sexual behavior. How do TV shows and movies tend to portray pregnant and/or sexually active teens? Are these portrayals realistic? What pressures do teens face when it comes to when it comes to having sex? Aside from pregnancy, what are some of the other consequences that teens face when they choose to engage in sexual activity? How about when they choose not to?

Great for teens!
I love this show. It shows the good and bad events of teenage pregnancy. It isn't a judgmental show because it's told in the eyes of the expecting teen mothers. This is an educational show about teen pregnancy that I think both teen girls and boys should watch, so that they know what could happen to their lives if they decide to have premarital sex.
