  In the article, “MTV’s reality shows glamorize aspects of teenage pregnancies. More schools should implement programs like Paly’s “Baby Think It Over” project” by Bailey Cassidy; Cassidy gives more of a summary of teen pregnancy shows. Cassidy gives liable facts in this article but it’s mostly a summary.

  Cassidy’s purpose for writing this article is to tell people how a show is making teens want to become pregnant. She backs this up with liable facts such as, “MTV sells the show as a cautionary tale to discourage teenage pregnancy, but critics have recently speculated that it actually has the opposite effect. Doctor Logan Levkoff, a teen development expert, says that even though MTV illustrates the harsh consequences of steen pregnancy, there are many pregnant teens in pop culture that can really influence American teenage girls.”

  Cassidy’s viewpoint is that these shows aren’t helping, as the TV producers thought it would. She believes that he shows are making the teen mothers look like it’s all glamorious. Cassidy quotes, “The publicity and attention that these girls generate from the media essentially glamorizes.” She then goes on to give her facts.

   Cassidy gives a lot of facts and it helps understand the article more. Her article was recently written, the exact date it was written was March 17, 2011. She has more facts than opinions which is mostly what you’d see in articles that are reliable. Her article is more of a persuading piece of writing than an information article. If you want certain facts about teen pregnancies, this would be an article you might want to look at.
