Why exactly was 16 and Pregnant introduced to MTV?

I'm sure everyone knows about the show 16 and Pregnant. In the beginning the show was trying to teach everyone that having a child at 16 is not going to give you an easy life, friends, nor will it give you a good education. They are still trying to portray it as something to prevent teen pregnancy but I don't see it that way. This article, Why I Created MTV's "16 and Pregnant", gives the other side's opinion of how this show affects society. Seeing as there have been so many seasons of 16 and Pregnant that goes to show the media is showing that it is okay to have a child at the age of 16 and they seem to glorify the fact. An article I read explains how others view this show, MTV's "16 and Pregnant" Glorifies Teen Pregnancy. One person said that they think the show promotes teen pregnancy, as do I.
Has anyone noticed about the characteristics of these 16 year olds? I've noticed a pattern, many of them have the guy in their life that they think is going to stick with them until the end not to mention most of them aren't capable of living on their own. How many of them actually do? 8 out of 10 of the episodes of 16 and Pregnant that I have watched have had the men (although I should be calling them boys since they are still "kids") leave them, abuse them verbally or even physically, or gone out of the picture completely. I know of one couple on that show that made the smart choice in giving up their child for adoption. I believe the girl's name was Catelynn. This couple had been together for awhile but they knew they weren't ready for a child in their life nor were they stable enough to take care of it. Of course giving up your child after it is born is hard, but wouldn't you want what is best for your child? My mom watches this show, so it dawned on me to write a post about it. I honestly can't stand to watch this show because it makes me angry based on the people's behaviors throughout the show. The girls always complain that they can't go out, but who made the decision to have a child? They did. For some of them though, I have to say they are strong teenage girls. Realizing that yes they did stupidly pretty much put their lives on hold for a long time due to having a child but to the ones who stick it out without complaining and deal with the fact that their baby daddy or boyfriend had left them I will consider them strong for going through everything even though their parents are there to help them. There was a change in this seasons 16 and Pregnant with one of the girls. Her mother was different than all of the other parents. She tried to convince her not to have her child and get an abortion. She told her that if she had the child then she would eventually have to move out since she did not like what her daughter was doing. I have not watched anything after that episode but if that mother sticks with it then I give props to her.

This is the couple that gave their baby up for adoption and still got to see her. This couple did the right thing for themselves and their child.

I believe that if you have a stable life, if you have someone you know for sure will stick beside you, if you can provide for yourself and a baby and you're ready for one; then have the child.
Going on a gender based view, the teenage girls and even mothers follow the type of gender role of that of a woman. They care for the children and their house. Yet, they also take on a part of the man's role. Instead of depending on the man, most of the girls, at least the ones who are smart enough, are independent. They find their own jobs, still try to educate themselves, AND take care of their child. To the teenage girls who actually do all of those things, I don't think I could nor would I want to do that so I feel as though I should give them some appreciation because of their hard work.
In my opinion, young girls such as ages 16 should not have a child. I apologize if I offend anyone. I'm not meaning to. All of this is just an opinion.
