Teen Mom!

Also, here are the videos I planned on showing the class about the TV show I researched: Teen Mom (1 and 2).

Teen Mom 2 Season 2 Trailer: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/711497/teen-mom-2-season-2-trailer.jhtml#series=2214&seriesId=34714&channelId=1&id=1674362

The show is clearly targeted towards a teenage girl audience, focusing largely on the teenage mothers (hence the name of the show), and their relationships with their parents and significant others, but not actually focusing on the parents' or males' individual lives. The show features a variety of situations that young mothers may face, and while some of the drama on the show seems almost scripted to me, I believe that many teenage mothers can relate to the scenarios seen in the show. I think this show has definitely influenced some teenagers to not have sex (or to at least be a lot safer about it) and it has helped other teenagers cope with becoming young mothers.
