16 and pregnate becoming an infulance?

So I was talking to my cousin and I told her I think shows like 16 and pregnant is influencing the youth to think its ok to have a baby you can get money and yes it turns out that the girls get $20,000+ for being on the show. So my thinking is that some girls may think hey money which is stupid but some people really think that then they don't get chosen and have a kid. She says its suppose to make people think babies and super hard work which i guess is partially true but what do you guess think about 16 and pregnant and shows like it?
