"Prior to the 80s teen marriage and pregnancy were widely socially acceptable and common during the 1950s baby boom peak. Stigma targeted only out-of-wedlock cases. The modern contempt for young/teen parenthood was cultivated by shows like Jerry Springer in the 1990s which consistently portrayed teen pregnancy as low-class and trashy. We should destigmatize teen marriage and pregnancy once again and be more supportive of young parents.
