‘Teen Mom’ Takes Credit For Changing World As Kailyn Lowry Has Butt Lift Plastic Surgery & ‘Teen Mom UK’ Debuts

Has the reality TV show Teen Mom changed the world? That’s what some members of the cast believe, and those Teen Mom stars are supported by recent statistics on teen pregnancies, reported MTV News.

Even the mother of one cast member, Farrah Abraham, believes it’s true. The occasion for Debra to declare her belief in the benefits of Teen Mom came when her daughter got an “un-invite” to a Hamptons white party, blaming her role on Teen Mom for the humiliation.

“I think the work you have done on the show has changed the world,” declared Farrah’s mother loyally.

The cast of Teen Mom has emphasized that they hope their audience learns from what the show reveals about the lives of teen mothers. And that hope has come to fruition, according to research indicating that both Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant caused a major reduction in teenage pregnancies.

Since Teen Mom debuted in 2009, birth rates have decreased by 36 percent. Cast members have been candid about key topics such as birth control and the responsibilities of parenthood. For example, Catelynn chose a Mirena IUD following the birth of Carly, then opted for the ParaGardIUD following the arrival of Nova.

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy conducted a survey that revealed nearly 80 percent of teens who watched Teen Mom believe that it assists them in comprehending what’s involved in having a baby, from pregnancy to parenthood. In addition, 75 percent of teens revealed that seeing a show discuss pregnancy among teens causes them to reflect on how to avoid that situation in their own lives.
