It maybe scripted.. who knows, but I think it does a pretty good job at depicting life as a teen mother. I would just have to say if you think its glamorizing it, you aren't looking hard enough. It shows girls who have less than supportive boyfriends who end up having to do it on their own, who have to struggle to pay for formula/diapers/etc., who have to quit school and give up their dreams of college/etc., who struggle with trying to balance a normal teenage social life with having a baby (which they realize is impossible, or they become a bad mom pawning their baby off on their parents). Yes these girls are immature when handling their babies, because they are babies themselves. That's the point of the show. To convince teenagers that they are too immature to have children, and help convince them to wait until they're older.

I really don't see how anyone can say its glamorizing and influencing girls to have children. Yes, maybe it shows them loving and being happy with their babies at certain points in the show... but are they not allowed to do that? Loving your baby is encouraging it and glamorizing it?
