GRSJ224/Reality TV's Effect on Teenage Pregnancy

Hi there!

Thank you for your post on teenage pregnancy. As global teen pregnancy continues to occur, I think this Wiki Page is extremely relevant! The two TV shows that you mentioned '16 and Pregnant' and 'Teen Mom' are both TV shows that I have spent time watching, and I agree that they both conveyed teen pregnancies as controversial, rather than as a show that supported teen pregnancies. However, one major aspect of pregnancies that teens consider are the different routes that they can take: whether they choose to carry the baby to the full term or to abort the baby. While keeping personal opinions regarding this topic aside, I believe that talking about abortion would have been beneficial to your Wiki Page as it is a huge (and also controversial) topic that many mothers, regardless of age, consider given the various circumstances that they may find themselves in. Otherwise, great page! The statistics that you provided about teen pregnancy were helpful.
