Great show for older teens (16+)
I love this show! Sometimes there's situations that aren't the best but it sticks to the title of the show and really shows people what others are going through in their life. I've been inspired by many young teens who were on the show and I've shed many tears while hearing their stories. Absolutely one of my fave shows!

Great Overall
i think that this show is great to show people that there is people out there in the world with the same problems that other have and they share their story. i think is nice that MTV just shows the location, first name and age of each person. is better like that to protect them.

True Life
A show I would expect from MTV, dealing with todays youth, and the struggle with teen pregnancies, birth defects, drug issues, and more. A good hard look into the eyes of the people presented in the show.
