 Teen Mom 

Each week, follow the lives of four teen girls (previously seen on 16 and Pregnant on MTV) as they navigate the bumpy terrain of adolescence, growing pains, rebellion, and coming of age- all while dealing with their newfound motherhood.

While each of the girls this season has her own unique story to share, they all have one thing in common- coping with the challenging realities of being a teen mom.

More than 2,000 teen girls in the U.S. get pregnant every day. And 3 out of 10 girls will get pregnant at least once by age 20. Tune in each week and be sure to read on about what you can do to take control of your (sex) life and prevent unintended pregnancy.
