PHOTOS Teen Mom Farrah Abraham candid and modeling pictures

 18-year-old Farrah Abraham has allowed MTV to document a very difficult part of her life – first on the reality show 16 and Pregnant and now on the series Teen Mom. As implied by the title, 16 and Pregnant followed Farrah, a popular high school student and member of the cheerleading squad at the time, through the course of her teen pregnancy including the judgmental attitudes of most of her friends and the disappointment of her mother and father.
As with many of the other installments of the series, we watch a young girl yanked out of the casual life of being an American teenager and having to face motherhood – all within an 9-month time frame. Farrah’s struggles were exacerbated by the fact that her baby’s father, Derek Underwood, was not there to support her and would die in a car accident at the age of 18.
Teen Mom picks up where 16 and Pregnant left off as we follow Farrah going to culinary school, dating and trying to be a mother to her daughter Sophia. It’s hard television to watch because it’s obvious Farrah longs for the unencumbered life she used to live, but she also clearly cares a great deal for her daughter. Adding to the already-difficult mix is a realistic (and supportive) mother and father that are constantly there to remind Farrah of her obligations as a mother.
