Teens should be warned against glorifying teen pregnancy, as it can attract them to the drama associated with it. TV shows that depict teen pregnancy as dramatic may entice teens, but it would be better to have more honest portrayals that highlight the challenges and pain involved, rather than making it seem fun. What do you think teens should be warned against having this experience? I think going back to the glorification of it, when they're showing teen pregnancy on TV and it's all this drama, I think that attracts teens in general to like, oh, look at all this drama. I guess it would be better if there was more things that talked honestly about what it's like to be a teen mom and all the things that hurt, and in a way that is just not fun, it's just painful.
