Lindsey Harrison was a girl with big dreams. She was going to be a cage fighter and a police detective. But on the way to fulfilling her dreams, she wound up "16 & Pregnant" (Tue., 10 p.m. ET on MTV). At this point, both her mother and the father Forest were encouraging her to get an abortion, but Lindsey didn't want that.
Forest finally came around, after getting over his fears that she was trying to tie him down with a baby. But the next problem came when his mother didn't want him to get a job until after graduation. Meanwhile, Lindsey was pregnant, going to school and working to try and plan for their future together.
There were ups and downs through the pregnancy with all of Lindsey's loved ones, but they came together in time for the birth. And she hasn't given up on that cage fighting dream, though it's possible she should have waited a bit longer before getting back into training. Or at least toned it back a bit.
"16 & Pregnant" tells new stories of teen pregnancy every Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

It's a controversy that's hovered around both "Teen Mom," "Teen Mom 2" and "16 and Pregnant." Are these shows glamorizing teen pregnancy? Anderson Cooper brought...

Kids know that having sex without a condom is "stupid." Yet they still need to learn about the complexities of sexuality --in short, they may know about sex, but they don't feel educated about it.
Pregnancy -- like teen sex -- is no longer a secret. It's ratings. The progression from hidden shame to primetime programming raises questions. Have we gone from ignoring the issue to glorifying it?
Many may be baffled by the current political debate about contraception, but for many women like me, these bishops and politicians may as well be sitting in my living room having a cup of coffee. This debate is personal.
