With the constant influx of new material for TV, it is inevitable that sexual content will run rampant. Shows that are popular among youth, such at Vampire Diaries, Girl Code and Guy Code, Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Teen Mom, exhibit repeated sexual themes. It is believed that one of these shows in particular aids heavily in influencing perceptions among adolescents. The growing popularity of MTV program, Teen Mom, has resulted in rapidly increasing viewings in many of our homes. Documentary style shows displaying the lives of teen moms have alluded to the idea that a teenage mother possess a desired and coveted lifestyle, earns a noteworthy income, and has a responsible, involved father in her child's life (Bloomington, 2014). The younger audiences that these shows are catered to are, unfortunately, not as likely to recognize that the content is scripted and meticulously edited to construct a storyline for entertainment purposes (Bloomington, 2014). With the stars of these shows not only occupying hours of time on TV screens, but constantly gracing the pages of fashion and gossip magazines prominently showcasing plastic surgery, designer labels, and luxury vacations, it is not uncommon for adolescents to lust after the fabricated lifestyle of a teen mom (Bloomington, 2014). Conversely, is argued that the reality of the content in shows like Teen Mom has direct correlation to a decrease in teenage pregnancies – 6% between 2009 and 2010 alone. Teen abortion rates, however, have not earned a direct correlation to teen mom program viewings (Castillo, 2014). Though teen pregnancy rates have dropped, this particular epidemic is still a cause for concern. An astounding fraction of only 50% of teenage mother earn their high school diploma by age 22, which many of the mothers on these shows demonstrate. (Castillo, 2014). Layering that statistic with the realization that many teenage mothers experience legal woes and potential health issues among themselves or their children (Castillo, 2014) leads to the potential for these programs to remold society's ideas about teenage sex and pregnancy.
