Follow 16 and Pregnant's Maci, Amber, Catylenn and Farrah on their first year of teen motherhood. Series premiere December 8 at 10PM ET/PT.
I feel that Amber needs alot of help. The abuse she puts him threw is so WRONG and he dont deserve it.She does need to be more of a mother.The house is dirty n she does nothig but yell all the time. Shes changed so much went from being heavey set to way to skinny now.it's almost like shes on drugs all she does is sleep, mood changes extremely. If she dont get help for herself she dont deserve t ave her daughter living with her at this point. its time to grow up and put your daughter first. I have 3 teenage boys and i was in a abusive relationship to the point i was put into intensive care for 2wks.My boys seen me getting abused mentally,verbally and phsyically.It takes a toll on the kids regaurdess of their age.I regrate putting my kids threw that then i turned to drugs n put them threw more ********.I finally woke up and realized i had to better myself for my children.i have been clean now almost 5yrs almost done wth collage for Drug&Alcohol counseling.My boys are proud of me and thats the BEST feeling ever.I just pray that amber can get help for herself before its to late.She just needs to realize that she needs to do it for herself no1 else.Best of luck and Gary just remember no1 needs to put up with that kindof' abuse from anyone.and what you did for your daughter taking her out of the house was thebest thing at the time.you were thinking of her safety just reber your a good dad but just need to work on yourself as a person.find who you really are and you'll start to feel better about yourself.
I am a mother and a grandmother...I think it is awful how Catelynn's mother treats her. Catelynn did the right thing by giving her child up...I sure wouldn't want my grandchild growing up in that household....I think Catelynn knows what is best for her baby, not what her mother thinks is best. Catelynn's mother needs help....she is one sick person to treat her daughter the way that she does. She should be there for her no matter what. All the girls are doing the best that they can...I may not agree with some of them, but they are all learning as they grow. Hang in there Catelynn, you have people out here that care about you and respect you, despite what your mother thinks.
we dont know that he wasnt a danger to her. from what it seemed like, he was a control freak over her whole life and thats just the start. theres plenty of reasons not to have the father involved. you want a good example for your child, you work so hard to bring them up right and all so they can act like their father who you want them to be nothing like? not fair for us mothers.
I think Farrah is very disrespectful and ungreatful to her mother. She said on an episode with Dr. Drew that she wanted to go out atleast twice a week. Sophia is her kid everyday of the week not just 5. I see nothing wrong with going out on occassion, but NOT BY DEMAND! I think she has a lot of growing up to do herself. Sophia is HER responsibility and NOT her mother's. She has an attitude with her mother about everything. I have watched plenty of episodes where her mother is holding and dealing with Sophia while she is sitting there.And as far as Debra hitting Farrah, we do not know the whole story. If Farrah hit her mother first, it was self defense. Maci is awesome and I think she is a wonderful mother to Bently. I think with her breaking up with Ryan will help her in many ways. She can even get her self esteem back and put her full attention on Bently and stop taking care of 2 kids. Amber is a great mother also. I know it must have been hard to call things off with Gary a, but she did what she had to do for Leah at the time, but I am glad to see them work things out and i hope the best. Gary grewe up a lot over the time of the split. Catelyn and tyler are great parents and what they did was totally awesome! I don't look at it as "giving her up", it was more like giving her a better home bc at this time you guys are unable to give her that. Tyler is very young, but very matture, and why I say he is very young is bc most guys his age would have been gone by now, but he stood their with her every step of the way. He is totally awesome and you guys have a very strong love. I am 19 and I have 2 kids myself. I got pregnant when i was 15 and had my son right when I turned 16. I was still ins chool and my father wasn't helping me, but anyways enough about me :) I would really love to meet all of you and just talk about our experiences. I could learn from you guys tremendously!

How did the dad die?
How come no one is talking about the abuse of Farrah by her mother Debra?? http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/01/19/2010-01-19_debra_danielson_mother_of_mtv_teen_mom_.html Her mother chocked and slapped her in front of her daughter and I doubt this abuse is something that just started out of the blue. I agree that Farrah is out of control and disrespectful & even ungrateful to her parents but towards the end of the taping it looks like she was making a change for the better. And to all those who keep wondering but didn't look into it, Sophia's father was killed in a car crash when Farrah was pregnant for Sophia. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20230345&BRD=2703&PAG=461&dept_id=555109&rfi=6 Farrah, I wish you & your daughter the best of luck. I hope that your mother receives the help that she needs and the two of you can work things out. Its going to take a lot of time and a lot of healing for your entire family so that you don't become angry & resentful which could lead to repeating her behaviors in years to come. Like it or not, we all become our mothers in some way at some point in our lives & we pray that your mother has better qualities. As for Amber, I think I have to sied with the masses here girlfriend. You are very selfish. Once you become a mother, it's not about you anymore. You can sh!t on people & expect them to wait on you hand & foot. I understand that maybe you had to go without a lot when you grew up but no you have to sacrifice for other reasons. I wish you the best of luck & hope that Gary continues to be willing to stay in your life. Please do not push him away as Leah will be the one who suffers. Maci I really hope you find peace with the way things ended. You are a strong, smart beautiful woman and you can do anything you put your mind to and a man like Ryan will only drag you down more emotionally if you allow him to. Sometimes if you're in a really bad relationship it's a healthier environment for the child to not see it and separating is the best solution. I know however that the comments Ryan made on the check up show were painful to hear but look how you & Bentley are better off now. Good luck with going back to school. I know its hard, but it can be done, the only things that are impossible are the things we don't try to do. Katelynn & Tyler the two of you have made a very mature & responsible decision as I'm sure you keep hearing. You should see now that any doubts you may have had should have been washed away by now and see that you selected a great couple to raise your child and what a selfless gift you gave to all three of them. I commend you both & I'm glad to see your parents have finally realized it was a good decision. The reason I felt so compelled to comment so personally to each of the girls from the show (and Tyler) is because I have walked a mile in their shoes. I became pregnant with my daughter when I was 16 yrs old, however I took advantage of the various resources offered in my community and I was able to complete high school. At the time there was a daycare facility located in the church across the street from the high school I attended which offered daycare assistance to teen moms allowing them to attend school. In exchange we were required to attend weekly parenting classes and maintain our grades in school as well as help out in the daycare center in various ways. I am so eternally grateful this was available to me at the time. My daughter is now 15 years old and coming up on the age I was when I hd her and she is such a great kid! She's given me a run for my money at times but she's learned that I've been there, done that & most likely wrote the book on how to do it so she can't get much past me and has therefore learned that her education is the most important thing at this point. I do have 2 other children now also and last year decided to go back to school and get my college degree, so Maci - listen to the statistics you were given!! I'm 32 now trying to go to college with girls your age. Do it now while you're young. Good luck to all cast & readers!!
i feel like i see my experience through all of these girls. I was pregnant at 16... my son was conceived on my birthday in 2002. It was the first time I had sex and I got pregnant. I always thought it wouldnt happen to me because that was not what my life was meant for...but IT DID! lol My son is now 7 years old he will be 8 in dec. of 2010. His father was apart of our lives but def. a "ryan" type... his father and I were married in 2005 we were 18. we seperated a year later due to physical and emotional abuse, and infidelity on his part. He had the exact same attitude as ryan does with maci. I love this show but it is so hard to watch and not get emotional. Everything these girls are going through i went through it too...I thought about adoption when i found out but i knew i couldnt live with myself if i did it. ((not saying its wrong because it is NOT)) but it just wasnt for me. I am so glad MTV decided to put this on the air...i hope this opens the eyes of other teenage girls who are thinking of or having sex. I do not regret my son in any way whatsoever but i know that had i waited how much of a better life i could have given him sooner than later.. you girls should be proud of yourselves for what you are doing!! You are all strong in your own ways and no matter what you go through or how much you think you screwed up, you are doing it and the only way to make you and your childrens lives better is if you try and that is all you can do!! :) Any woman can give birth to a child but it takes a real mom to do what you all are doing!!!! <3
Dude... Wasn't it Farrah's mother that didn't want him knowing, or anywhere around the family??? While I agree with you, 'despite your differences, never deprive a child of their parental relationships'... The way they made it sound (of course!) he WAS a little on the unstable side....? Either way, whether her mother forbid the paternal relationship or the matter over his passing, she is ultimately and unfortunately alone. ***WOW, how did you learn about the passing of the father? That is terrible!
I agree about Farrah, but what her mother did was uncalled for. I think her family is a lil nut's. I think that Ryan is a total waste of space and is a sad excusse of a man. I luv Maci she is a great mother. Amber is a total spoiled brat and need's to grow up. And as for Catelynn and Tyler I wish them the best of luck!
p.s. thanks for scaring the hell out of my 14 year old. Kids have to learn a baby is not the consequence of having sex, it is the purpose for having sex. !! lol
It's not that he is un-supportive, he is no longer alive (he died), it is just never acknowledged on the show. Plus, last season SHE lied to him about being pregnant when he asked her about it. Regardless of how someone feels about the parent of their child, they shouldn't deprive their child of their Father or Mother unless they are a danger to the child. He died last year, so may he rest in peace. I do agree with you though that I think she is judged unfairly. Yes, she can be disrespectful sometimes, but the show is edited so that we ONLY see that part of her. She IS in school right now, but MTV has never shown that part of her life, they show what they want us to see.
k im 40, married with a 14 year old son. I must say I am extremely pround of all these women for bringing life into this world, every baby is a gift, Farah your fine, having a baby is a good filter for idiots, find a man who loves you and your baby, your both worth it. Amber grow up !!! your abusive and confused. Catelyn YOU AND YOUR MAN are beautiful and we are sooo proud of you both. God bless you. you are so special . You made the right choice at the right time for the right reasons. Maci dump the jerk and move on , you need him like a bowling ball dropped on your head.
Ok, Maci is great, but Ryan needs to step up and help. He isn't the only one going through being a teen parent. Suck it up already! Amber, quit being such a whiny *****! You have a man that goes to work,and school, and pays for everything! The least you can do is clean and cook. I was a teen mom, and I know it's hard, but seriously? Show the guy some respect and appreciation. Don't start ******** and nagging that he doesn't help you. You are the one that doesn't help him, and as partners you should help each other. And I think Gary deserves somebody way better then you. You treat him like ****, not the other way around. You need to grow up and start having some respect for him and treating him way better. I don't think any other man is going to want you because you are such a high maintenance *****. Farrah, you need to seriously start respecting your parents and quit treating them like ****. Sophia is your responsibility, not theirs. And you should be grateful for all that they do for you and Sophia. They don't have to help you in any way. Be thankful. And start treating your mom better. Sophia i going to be your age someday, and Then you will know exactly how your selfish actions are hurting your parents. Grow up! Catelynn and Tyler, I admire you. You guys are awesome for how well you are handling things, and I wish you both the best of luck. I hope you do get married and stay together forever. True love only comes around so often, and you guys are truly lucky for what you have found with each other!
Ok my opinions....Maci- you are an awesome mother...and you deserve better then Ryan he really confuses me...one moment seems like ehr cares and he then next he doesn't. I think you better off with out him. You have a bright future ahead for you and your baby. Farrah--I think your finally getting into to Mommy Mode and it took me alittle while to do that also....so don't feel ashamed some people are more extra loving or motherly then others. Everyone is different well all know you love your baby girl. And its ok to go out everyonce in awhile not every night. I go out once in a while...nothing wrong with that and I was also a teen mom. Catylenn-I'm proud of you and very surpirsed but happy to see you so young but yet very mature and same for you fiance...yall are excellent together and I wish me and my fiance could have the same relationship as you two. Amber--I love ya but your better of without Gary. And I am happy and proud that you have your new apartment and your life is finally on the road. All of you do a great job. :)
Amber I think u will be better off without Gary. Farrah I am with u when u want 2 move out cause of ur mom. Catylenn I am with u when u and Tyler got the tattoos that was sweet. Maci y did u go back with Ryan??? But after all I love the show
Maci- You are a very good mom. I think you should dump Ryan. He might be present at times, but he's not there. When I see him on the show, it's like looking at a piece of plywood. I wanted to jump through the screen and strangle him when he said you were lazy. He needs to look in the mirror. You are the one taking care of Bentley and he barely does a damn thing. I thought it was funny when Bentley didn't want to walk to Ryan at first, he came right back to you.
I don't care for Farrah. She's going to end up with another child if she doesn't watch it. She can't be a mom and go out the way she does. She needs to grow up and be responsible.
It's so easy for us to watch someone's life through a window & make our judgements, but many of you need to take a step inside so you can get a better look at the WHOLE picture. While I agree that Farrah can be disrespectful, we don't see the whole picture (or anyone else's). She is so young & begun this MONUMENTAL journey alone from the get-go (no support from the father). I know there isn't one human-begin in this world that can say 'I've never been disrespectful to my parents'! In the end, we are all trying to do the best that we can, & we ultimately want the same things. and.....Uh..... MACI I LOVE YOU! ;) kekeke
All these girls do a great job. It's hard being a teen mom. Even though sometimes I want to slap two of them in the face, they're getting it. :)
