Our society has moved well beyond where it was in the Middle Ages, when marriages were done not for love but by arrangement; when the wars of their ancestors forced children to take up the battles that had claimed their parent's lives; and when the land was so hard and medicine so imperfect that children were lucky to see their lives extend past their twentieth name day.
They also didn't have iPhones so they had to talk to people when they were in line for the bathroom.

In any event, MTV has announced Teen Mom 3!
No word yet on whether the girls are pregnant now or will get pregnant for the show.

Yes, at some point in the near future MTV will introduce another group of teenage parents so we can gather around our televisions and watch them destroy their lives. It's like a less overt Hunger Games.
Maybe Haymitch will send a GED.

I do feel awful for those who end up on Teen Mom, though. They have no control over their lives, feeling pressure to end up with the baby's father not for love but because of obligation. Adding to that, often the teen mom's parents were themselves too young, so they find themselves living their parent's lives. And worst of all, any hopes of upward social mobility disappear the moment that pregnancy test comes back positive. Their lives are effectively over before they've even turned twenty.
At least now they have iPhones.
