So when will it be on again?
November 1, 2009I liked this show. I don't think a one hour show can even come close to showing all the things these kids go through but it's a taste. All I can say is although some couples do this and end up together and happy that is very uncommon. Kudos to those that are still with your childs father and doing well. To girls that are looking for pregnancy to give them that happy ending u will prolly be disappointed. While it is possible for a young girl to raise a wonderful child and take good care of them why not take precautions against this? On the other hand I think it is a very brave and wonderful decision for such a young girl to keep their baby and an even more brave and wonderful decision to give ur baby up for adoption. I just wish more young girls would realize to enjoy their childhood. I am glad I waited until 25 years old and married for four years not because I haven't wanted to be a mother for the last ten years (been with my husband since I was 17) but because looking back the time to ourselves was great. Every relationship that lasts goes through trials. Also at high school through college graduation ages ppl go through SO Many changes. It is worth it to make sure you and ur boyfriend change together and end up still having the same goals. It seems to me that while all children bring joy, annoyance, love, and pain you get a lot more of the good stuff when u are established in ur relationship. Monetarily most ppl would never say they had the money for a baby but if you have a solid relationship it makes life easier. The first time I was pregnant I was twenty and had a miscarriage not long after my husband and I got married. That was five years ago and looking back although I wass heartbroken and would have loved that child it sure has been easier to wait. I think we are much better parents now than we would have been then. Our relationship is much more established which makes our almost year old son more secure. As I said many ppl raise great children in all kinds of situations and at all ages single, and married. Really though who wouldn't want to be raised by both of their biological parents in the same house as long as those parents get along and are loving? It sure was nice to have all those years where we could just go out without having to find a babysitter or packing an army's worth of baby stuff. So wait wait if u can even when u are burning for a child. I'm not saying wait as long as I did but wait until u are together for a long time (and still getting along) and preferrably married that adds a little more security. If u are already young and pregnant go from there and do ur best. If u are still together with baby's father try to spend a little alone time together when u can and remember consistancy, communication, and compromise go a long way! GOOD LUCK! Maybe the more ppl that watch the show maybe the less candidates there will be to be on it. I hope so!Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

Stats & Figures of raising a child
August 4, 2009This show is fine for who may like it. It is informative and perhaps can show a teen what LIFE is all about. While young parents doesn't always = failure, both parents do need to work so the child can be raised to be a well balanced child. According to professional stats & figures, Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report said. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. And this figure is without sending your children to college which has to be a Must.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

Wow! A lot of ignorance coming from these women.

We have some ignorant women speaking their minds and quiet frankly you really shouldn't judge another persons life because yours isn't all good and dandy, now is it?
I am a nineteen year old mother of 2 wonderful little girls. I have graduated from high school and still choosing what I want to major in for college, YES I am going to college and graduating. My husband [yes I said husband, I am legally married] works full-time. We live in our own apartment and have our own car. Having a baby is hard and yes some girls aren't really fit to have one but that is not our decision whether or not they can take care of it nor right to judge them.
Just because you have a child does not make you a hoe nor does it make you irresponsible. Let me educate some of you so called women [Amber & Cynthia]. A hoe is a female that sleeps around from guy to guy or female to female not generally a female that has kids & age DOES NOT define how good of a parent you are. This non sense of 92% of men leaving their women before the child is two, LOL wow. Seriously Cynthia, statistics are not close to the truth. Yes there are a lot of women who are left alone with their kid(s) no matter what age, but do not base what you THINK you know on statistics.
As far as your kids being good, smart, and healthy, having lots of money has NOTHING to do with that. It is based on parenting and how much love you give that child. Yes you do need money to support your kids but you don't have to be financially wealthy, yes it helps but not all of us are as fortunate to make more than 40k a year.
My daughters are smart, more than healthy, and well behaved. Not every child grows up to be as great or low as their parents, they can be the complete opposite. Even the parents that raise their children right are amazed at how they turn out to be horrible and low life adults. So don't judge or tell someone else that their kid might be a loser like them. That just makes you ignorant and seem very childish. What grown women talks about a child like that? Apparently one who is a child herself.
This show is great for women and young ladies of all ages, it'll teach even those who think they know everything a little something. I support young mothers and want to let those who are pregnant or want to be pregnant know, that yes it is hard but if you can take care of your child and give them the best then it is worth it. I stand by every single word that I have said and I am proud of the way my life has turned out regardless of what people think.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

Overall Review
July 22, 2009
By Lori See all Lori's reviews (1)
I honestly think that every teenage girl thinking about becoming a mother should watch this show. I was a teenage parent myself but I was fortunate enough to have a very caring and supportive family to help me through very difficult circumstances. As do some of the girls seen on this show. However, I've also had the oppertunity to meet other girls like in the show whose circumstances were just as unfortunate if not worse. In spite of it's "depressing" review I think that this show will have an impact of many girls and even convince many girls to reconsider their decisions.Was this review helpful to you?
