The third season of "Teen Mom 2" goes beyond tabloid headlines and inside the emotional journeys of four young mothers as they face some of their biggest challenges yet, as their children enter into their "terrible twos." In the premiere episode, Leah struggles with her pending divorce from Corey and they head to mediation to discuss custody of their girls. Chelsea begins to take her relationship with Adam to the next level and works on getting her GED. Jenelle tries to stay clean on probation, and finally ends things with Kieffer. Meanwhile, Kailyn realizes she wants to get back together with Jo.

"Teen Mom 2" returns to air as teen pregnancy and teen birth rates in the U.S. are at historic lows, following impressive declines in recent years. Between 2007 and 2011, the teen birth rate in the U.S. declined 25 percent. Despite this decline, more than 700,000 teenage girls in the U.S. still become pregnant each year and one out of every ten children in the U.S. is born to a teenage mother. The vast majority of these pregnancies are unintended, and one quarter of all teen moms have a second child within two years. In a recent poll by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 77 percent of teens age 12-19 that have seen "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" say the shows "help teens better understand the challenges of pregnancy and parenting."

More information about sexual health issues affecting young people, including unintended pregnancy, is available at www.itsyoursexlife.com, a public information resource developed by MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy is working with the show to provide additional information.
