SEASON 2 You met them when they were 16 & Pregnant, and in their first year as teen moms you saw them face the challenges of motherhood before they had a chance to grow up themselves. In this next chapter, we continue to follow Maci, Farrah, Amber and Catelynn as they navigate new and unexpected challenges. Each episode delves into their lives as they deal with all the ups and downs of being teen moms -- including pregnancy scares, high school prom, family disputes, jail sentences, custody battles, trying to finish high school, moving away from home for the first time, financial trouble, entering new relationships and ending old ones -- all while struggling to remain teenagers. SEASON 3 Teen Mom is a spin-off of the MTV documentary series, 16 & Pregnant. Season 3 continues tracking the stories of Maci, Farrah, Amber and Catelynn as they face the intense challenges of their first few years of motherhood. Each episode interweaves their stories as they navigate the bumpy terrain of adolescence, growing pains, and coming of age -- all while facing the responsibility of being a young mother. The series offers a unique look into the wide variety of issues young mothers can face: marriage, relationships, family support, or lack thereof, adoption, finances, rumors among the community, graduating high school, starting college, getting (or losing) a job and the daunting and exciting step of moving out of the nest to create their own families. Faced with incredibly adult responsibilities, these young moms struggle to pursue their childhood dreams and are often forced to sacrifice their teenage years, their high school experience and their former ideas of what their lives would be. But there is optimism among them. They have the dedication to make their lives work. Though nearly children themselves, they have a drive to do as they see fit and try to provide the best for their babies.
