Teen Mom—originally a spin-off of “16 And Pregnant”—became a reality TV show hit on December 8th, 2009. The show was picked up by MTV and received a lot of attention—both positive and negative. Parents whose teenage daughters indulged themselves in the show and followed all of the cast members on social media were outraged because they felt as though Teen Mom glorified being a child who was expecting a child themselves. Parents who were once teen moms themselves feared that their daughters might make the same mistakes they did by watching the show and being swept in by the glitz and glamor of it all.

While so many criticized the show and its values, many praised it as just another dramatic reality television show. Some even noted that having their daughters watch the show would have the opposite effect; meaning that their children would see the problems and struggles they go through on a daily basis and take care to not end up in the Teen Mom cast’s shoes. In a world full of such conflict, other celebrities got on board the Teen Mom train and befriended the cast members. On the other hand, there are some who chose to stay as far away as they could.
