We first saw these four teen moms on MTV’s hit series 16 & Pregnant and followed them on to Teen Mom, now Maci, Farrah, Amber, and Catelynn are back for an all new season of Teen Mom.
We’ve watched these young mothers give birth, date, break up, make up, move out, and move on but in the second season of Teen Mom we’ll see just how far they’ve come with motherhood.
If you’re new to the Teen Mom series or a religious viewer, let us introduce or re-introduce you to the teen moms we fell in love with.
First there’s Maci. The homegrown southern belle from Chattanooga, Tennessee, fell in love with her high school sweetheart Ryan and had their son Bentley, in October 2008. Maci and Ryan seemed like a happy couple, they had their own house, and were even engaged, but once Bentley was born things went down hill. They fought over everything from Ryan not spending enough at home to his nonchalant attitude toward his new family life. That was not the life Maci planned for her family. Maci graduated from high school but struggled with her online classes at Chattanooga State. She had virtually no support form Ryan and had to drop out during her first year. Even though Maci had support from her friends, parents, and Ryan’s parents she still fought for Ryan’s love and affection but not for her sake but Bentley‘s. Its obvious to see that Maci loves Bentley so much that she wants him to have the perfect family but after couples counseling, breaking off their engagement, and moving back home with their parents, things with Maci, Ryan, and Bentley seemed to better when they were apart.

Then there’s Farrah, the smart mouth, back talking mommy of baby Sophia. The only single mother on the series, Farrah was portrayed as an ungrateful, bratty, party girl who would rather date and hang out with her friends till the wee hours of the morning, than to spend time with her daughter. There were countless explosive arguments between Farrah and her parents about her excessive dating and partying. Later, she found it difficult to date and raise Sophia alone, and even though she has the support of her mom, Farrah was very adamant that she wanted to be independent. After her parents and her sister confronted her about her lack of motherly duties she cleaned up her act by giving up the guys and the late nights to focus on Culinary school being the best mom to Sophia.
The next Teen Mom is Amber. Strong willed and independent, she and her fiancee Gary were barely getting by when we were first introduced to them on 16 & Pregnant. Since then, Amber dropped out of high school to raise their daughter Leah while Gary fully supports the family, something Amber really had a problem with throughout the series. She spent all her days with Leah, even when she tried to get her GED she found it very frustrating and nearly impossible to continue without the help from Gary, but she was very determined to not be dependent on him forever. We watched Amber transition from the stay at home mom to a mommy on the go. She wanted Leah to grow up with both parents but she knew the physical fighting and arguing was not an environment for her or Leah. She took the initiative to get an apartment and a job so she would no longer have to depend on Gary for help. Gary wasn’t pleased at first but he learned it may be best for their daughter. As a result it brought Amber and Gary closer they later moved in together hoping this time they would able to get along better.
Catelynn and Tyler’s story is one that definitely pulled at the heart strings of its viewers. Of all the teen couples, they decided to give their daughter up for adoption. Both from broken homes the decision to give Baby Carly up for adoption was one that ultimately had a huge impact on their lives. Catelynn had no support from her mother April and they often fought about her decision ,they argued so much that she moved four hours away to live with Tyler and his mother. Carly was topic of every discussion in every episode, they grappled daily with their choice to give Carly up but they knew that despite what their parents thought, they made the right decision for their daughter. They both admitted that their environments was no place for them let alone a child, and that Carly would have a much better life with her adoptive parents. Tyler was the ideal boyfriend in this series, and the relationship he and Catelynn had was one that proves how strong love can be even at young age. They made a hard decision that some adults can’t make and they were able to count on each other that hard time. Even though in the season finale of Teen Mom Catelynn and Tyler became engaged, they still felt something was missing.
Now that season two of Teem Mom is on the way we’re all wondering what these four moms have in store. All we can tell you is that there may be some new relationships, new apartments, a possible weeding, a broken engagement, some physical abuse, and a new baby… Maybe. But you’ll have to watch this season to find out more. Catch the season premiere of Teen Mom tomorrow July 20th at 10/9c only on MTV.
