A mom, her four children, a daughter’s boyfriend, an infant grandchild, another grandchild on the way, and occasionally her ex-husband all under one roof. Let’s add that up, that’s 8 going on 9. Anyone living in that home is bound to go crazy, but sometimes you just have to make it work and that’s exactly what Devon, a soon to be teen mom, is trying to do.

From watching all the past episodes of 16 and Pregnant, it’s clear that being a teen mom is really difficult, but imagine being a teen mom and having your baby’s dad on the other side of the country! 

It sounds like a cute story to be with the boy you met in 6^th grade, but in this week’s episode of 16 & Pregnant, we see why so many people don’t end up with their middle school or high school sweethearts. Sarah lives at home with her mom, brother, and boyfriend Blake. Blake is also the father over her soon-to be born daughter, Tinleigh.

You are at risk of getting pregnant every time you have sex. It doesn’t make a difference if it is your first time or your 50th time and that’s what Hope found out when she got pregnant after having sex just four or five times. When Hope first started describing her relationship (or lack thereof) with the father of her baby (Ben), I was positive he wasn’t going to stick around. She met Ben about a year ago and without knowing him very well, decided to have sex with him. Hope jumped from never having sex or even a boyfriend to having sex with someone she barely knew. Were you surprised to learn that she was so willing to have sex with Ben?

Myranda and her boyfriend, Eric, both seem to have had a tough upbringing. Although we never learn much about Eric’s family, we know that he has been raised from the beginning by his grandmother and we never see his parents during the episode. Myranda was never really able to enjoy her childhood because her mom’s addiction problems got in the way. Myranda’s mom has had a lifelong struggle with addiction to drugs and alcohol. Even though Myranda doesn’t live her with mom anymore, her childhood will be cut short when she’s forced to become a mom herself.

If life were a Rom-Com, you’d meet someone you’re crazy about, fall in love, have one big fight, and then live happily ever after. But in the real world, fighting is a fact of life for long term relationships. And for that reason, it’s absolutely essential that you learn to fight fair! Here’s how:

Wow, this episode was full of drama and I am really interested to hear about what you all thought about it. 

A lot happened in this week’s episode, so let’s get right into it. 

In this episode of 16 and Pregnant, we met Lindsey who has dreams of becoming a professional cage fighter, but has to put her dreams on hold now that she is pregnant. Instead of pursuing cage fighting, she currently works at a fast food restaurant. She is doing her best to save some money for the baby and has an on and off again relationship with her boyfriend Forest. When Forest first found out that Lindsey was pregnant, he (along with Lindsey’s mom) tried to convince her to have an abortion. Once Lindsey said she was keeping the baby, Forest stopped talking to her for a few months. But now it looks like their relationship is back on.
