Fast forward to June of 2009, MTV premiered a similar version to BET’s counterpart, 16 and Pregnant. Now, we live in a time where awareness and education and sex prevention does not have an audience nor interest but, instead, we have consumers and an audience that would rather see a young teenage girl raising a child without an education or support system. The aforementioned programs try to prevent these issues from occurring on the onset.

I have no gripe with 16 and Pregnant but the main issue comes with solutions. Teen Summit provided teens, especially minorities or any person of color, solutions to a dangerous problem whereas the former embraced the problems of these teens without offering any solutions to their plight.
