16 and Pregnant: Myranda Trevino (Season 4)

What Happened: Myranda is a seventeen year old who is living with her boyfriend, Eric and his grandmother, because Myranda's mother is a drug addict and an alcoholic. Myranda doesn't want her mother to watch her baby Kaylee's Born because she doesn't trust her mother. Then Eric's grandmother tells them that they can't stay there after the baby is born so they have to find a place. Eric's aunt finds them a little house that needs a big clean up. Myranda wants to take her GED so she can stay home with the baby. After Myranda's mother relapses it makes her not want her baby to be around her mother. Myranda's family throws her a baby shower and she isn't too happy that her aunt invited her mother. So her mother tells her that she is ready to get help, because she wants to see her granddaughter. Even after she apologizes to Myranda, she decides to invite only Eric and a friend into the delivery room. When Kaylee is a few weeks old, Myranda and Eric decide to let Myranda's mom watch Kaylee, so they can go out for dinner, and Myranda becomes worried when her mother doesn't answer her phone. They rush through their dinner and go home to check on Myranda's mom, Billie. Myranda and Billie discuss Myranda's trust issues about her.

What I Think: I think that as a young man, Eric is mature and is a really good guy because he stuck by Myranda and is working so he can provide for his new family. Myranda is really lucky to have Eric, and his Grandmother. I hope that in the future Myranda and her mom can be close and she that she can have a mother in her life.

16 and Pregnant: Jordan Howard (Season 4)

What Happened: Jordan is living with her boyfriend, Tyler and his parents because of her pregnancy. Jordan's mom Kelly doesn't like Jordan's boyfriend Tyler, and it's making it hard on Jordan because she wants Tyler to be a part of their baby's life and her mom doesn't think he will be. Tyler's parents are very supportive and would like it if Jordan moved in with them and raised the baby there. Jordan's mom doesn't like Tyler at all because he's dirty and disrespectful. Since Jordan wants to stay with Tyler they go to her house while her mom is gone and take the crib that Tyler bought for the baby. After her mom gets home and sees that the crib is gone, she calls Jordan and leaves a very nasty message. Then she calls back and tells Jordan she wants to talk. So Jordan meets her along with Tyler and she tells them that she wants to see Jordan and the baby, and that she wants to help her. So Jordan decides to move back in, and that leaves Tyler hurt. So when she goes into labor, he is by her side and helps her through it. When Jordan is ready to go home from the hospital Tyler ends up going home and Jordan and her mother are frustrated with him because Jordan really needed and wanted his help. Tyler's parents visit Jordan, and baby Chase and explain to Jordan why Tyler hasn't gone over and why he's upset. When Tyler finally does come over he and Jordan and her brother's get into an argument, and her brothers end up going after him and Kelly has to stop them. Jordan is upset that Tyler doesn't seem to want to be in there lives.
What I Think:
I think that Jordan's mom could have at least given Tyler a chance and let him visit Jordan. If she had been more accepting about Tyler, Jordan wouldn't have left and went to his house along with all the baby's things. i also think that Tyler should have stepped up like he said he would and I was disappointed when he didn't stay at Jordan's house after the baby was born but I also kind of understand why which is that for the nine months that she was pregnant, Jordan's mom kept saying things like he wasn't going to bring able to raise a black baby and that she didn't like him. So he didn't feel welcome at Jordan's house. Hopefully things work out and I wish them through best.

16 and Pregnant: Alexandria Sekella (Season 4)


What Happened:
 Before Alex got pregnant she was a dancer, and helped teach kids to dance. Alex's boyfriend, Matt is always getting in trouble. Matt has a serious drug problem and Alex considers adoption. Matt thinks that putting up their daughter for adoption would be best because they aren't ready to be parents. Alex wants to keep their baby but it isn't easy and Matt is never around because he's always taking off and disappearing. As Alex draws closer to her due date she still can't make a decision. Alex's friends parents want to adopt and ask Alex if they can adopt her baby and Alex likes the idea of someone she knows adopt her baby instead of someone she doesn't. After Alex has baby Arabella she can't give her up, and when she tells her friends parents, they are sad but they've helped Alex get a new place, since she's not allowed to move back home with her baby. But a few weeks later Alex's mom decides to let her come back home, so she can have the help of her family. Alex's family throws her a welcome home/baby shower, but it gets interrupted when the woman Alex was living with needs the rent money, that Alex doesn't have, and threatens to throw out her things. So Alex and her mom and a few family members go over there and pick up her things. Alex gets frustrated when she needs Matt to watch Arabella so she can go to work but he doesn't show up and Alex misses work. When Matt comes over a few days later, and Alex confronts him about him not showing up and they get into an argument. Alex asks him if he wants to be a part of Arabella's life because he is her father. 
What I Think: I think that Matt should try to be a part of Arabella's life after he's changed, and he can be the parents Alex wants him to be and that Arabella needs. Alex should just leave him and let him do what he needs to do to change and grow up.

Lindsey fixes things with her mother, and they go to the gym and talk to Lindsey's trainer, and she tells him about Aniyah. She also wants to know if she can go back and train again and hopefully become and professional cage fighter.
What I Think: I think that Forrest should have gotten a job. I mean he could have juggled school a job and taking care of his daughter because he put himself in that situation and he has to step up, not only in child care but financially.

Mackenzie goes to the gym to see her friends as they practice and she even shows them how flexible she still is.

After Gannon's birth Mackenzie and Josh realize they may have to give up cheer leading and bull riding.

What I Think: Mackenzie has to be one of my favorite 16 and pregnant girls ever! She is so sweet and funny, and so full of energy.Josh seemed a bit immature in the beginning but I think he changed after, Gannon was born and I hope he finds a good job to support his little family.
