Is Teen Mom considered an inspiration?

The reality TV series "Teen Mom" a show based off of "16 and pregnant" is a show about teenage moms raising a family at a very young age due to having unprotected sex. Most would consider this show inappropriate, unnecessary, and really having no meaning, but if you really sit down and think about it teen mom is considered an inspiration to most. Although it shows a small act of violence and the moms having to deal with what most adults in their near 40's never having to go through, it shows young teens and children that you shouldn’t rush life so fast and be so eager to grow up. It also shows that you should protect yourself at all times and when you find that so called "teenage love" take things slow. In addition to that, with the teen moms having to grow up at such a young age they lost part of their high school experiences, football games, dances and most importantly prom, became nearly more important then their children once finding out that they were pregnant. With all attention on the newborns some were not able to graduate on time. When getting pregnant at a young age its like your whole life falls apart. Usually most teens are not ready to be officially titled as a "parent". Most importantly with thinking of a child one of the first things that should pop into your brain is "finances". Are you financial enough to build a family and really support your child? This is something that most teens on the reality show and all over the world really struggle with as of today. With that said before thinking of having a child make sure that you are physically ,mentally, and financially ready to start a family and focus on your future, also make sure you have really accomplished most of what you wanted in life because with a child your dreams are immediately placed on hold. With the teen moms lives being totally affected and changed because of a baby they are still able to live their lives one step at a time.
