Teen pregnancy is all over TV this year. On The Secret Life of the American Teenager, we watch Amy struggle to balance having a life with having a baby to take care care of. And another character on the show, Adrian, is now going to have a baby too. Likewise, on Glee, Quinn had a baby last season and gave it up for adoption.

It's not just a teen pregnancy boom for fictional TV characters, though. MTV has a reality series dedicated to depicting the lives of real-life pregnant teens on 16 and Pregnant. The first season of the show did so well that it earned itself a spin-off called Teen Mom, which shows real girls dealing with issues like relationship problems, adoption aftermath, custody battles, and more.

We want to hear from you, J-14ers!

- What do you think about the depiction of teen pregnancy on TV?
- Do you think shows like Secret Life and Glee glamorize teen pregnancy?
- Do you think shows like Teen Mom are educational?
- Do you know a teen mom or a pregnant teen?

The wait is finally over -- ring in 2010 with brand new episodes of The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Make It or Break It on ABC Family. Both shows premiere on Monday, January 4, starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

On the first new episode of Secret Life, called "You Don't Know What You've Got..." both Amy (Shaliene Woodley) and her mom (Molly Ringwald) escape their crazy lives by taking their babies and going on vacation... leaving tons of problems back home.

Meanwhile, on Make It or Break It, the episode "The Eleventh Hour," has the girls celebrating their big win at nationals while Payson (Ayla Kell) struggles with her back injury and all the problems that come with it.
