Move over, Miley. There’s a new teen role model in town — who just happens to be preggers.Fictional pregnant teens like Juno MacGuff of “Juno” and Amy Juergens of “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” glorify teenage pregnancy.Hollywood has made pregnancy cool, according to the “Juno Effect,” a term Time magazine coined when 17 students at a Massachusetts high school became pregnant after allegedly forming a “pregnancy pact.” The last time I checked, having a baby bump before losing your baby fat was a ticket to hell, or at least to the uncool table in your school’s cafeteria, which is on par with hell.For the first time in 15 years, the pregnancy rate among girls ages 15 to 19 spiked in 2006, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent studies.A survey monitoring 15- to 20-year-olds recently administered by Rand Corp concluded teens exposed to high levels of televised sexual content were twice as likely to experience a pregnancy. The same survey discovered about 25 percent of those who viewed the most sexual content on TV were involved in a pregnancy.And a third of American girls get pregnant before the age of 20, according to the CDC. Sure, the “Juno Effect” kind of stretches the willing suspension of disbelief theory, but there is no doubt shows like this have raised awareness about teen pregnancy.”The Secret Life” is a collaboration between ABC family and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and offers an advice page on the show’s Web site.Characters, such as the ordinary, mildly outcasted Juno and the shy, innocent Amy Juergens — who wasn’t really sure if Ricky Underwood put his P in her V — give teens someone to relate to.These shows help pregnant teens cope, but only to an extent, said Jennifer Ellis West, an English doctoral candidate who studies women and childbirth.”It’s possible that teens who identify with these characters could feel less isolated, like they aren’t the only ones,” West said. “[But] it’s harder to say how much impact these shows are having on the way pregnant teens are treated or viewed by society at large.”While these can be encouraging, they also present unrealistic scenarios and misrepresent the majority of pregnant teens in America.Most girls keep their babies and less than 2 percent give them up for adoption, Sarah Brown, CEO of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, told USA Today in March.Also, how many pregnant girls out there get to have their happily ever after with a geek-chic guy like Paulie Bleeker?How many of them have a support system like Amy Juergens? And a guy who is not the baby daddy who genuinely loves them and wants to stick out this rather sticky situation?Or parents who just kind of sit back and let their daughter take control and act like their 16-year-old having a baby is the coolest thing since sliced bread?It is difficult to capture the truth about teen pregnancy because there are several factors that cannot be included in a short film or show, West said.West doesn’t seem to think teens are as impressionable as we may think.”I’m not convinced that there are many girls who see ‘Juno’ and, as a result, think, ‘Oh, wow, it looks really fun to get pregnant and give my baby up for adoption. I think I’ll try it,'” she said.Well, let’s hope not. Because unlike these fictional mothers-to-be, real pregnant teens don’t have the luxury of whipping off that fat suit at the end of the day. ——Contact Drew Belle Zerby at [email protected]
