[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really says a lot about people growing up in lower SES homes.  Even when given money that could be used for an education to get out of their lower class lives, most of them don't take advantage of it.  Have any of the Teen Moms earned a Bachelor's degree?[/quote]

I think it's pretty well understood that you can't solve money problems with money.  It helps, but if you don't have the tools to manage it properly, you'll end up where you started.  How many lottery winners end up broke?

C&T especially had essentially no role models in their lives for responsible...anything.  It's really amazing that they're doing as well as they are.  I'm not surprised that they don't have degrees yet.  Nobody in their family does, and even though they said they wanted to start/finish college, it's clear that it's not essential for their survival right now.

I think the real answer is that if any of these girls had real guidance and role models for "success" (school, college/career, savings, etc), they probably wouldn't have ended up pregnant at 16.[/quote]

The most frustrating part of the show for me is that these people now have money and could go to any one of a number of colleges and focus on school without having to take some crappy part-time job just to get by.  Do you think C&T would have fared better without the MTV money?  College is probably "easier" to get through when the alternative is doing your crap-job full time.
