The show is presented in a documentary style, featuring animated highlights on notebook paper before commercial breaks. The success of “16 and Pregnant” led to the creation of several spin-offs, including “Teen Mom,” “Teen Mom 2,” and “Teen Mom 3,” which follow four girls from each season of the original series as they embark on their journey through early motherhood.
