16 And Pregnant's Catelynn: 'I'm At Peace With Myself'

Tonight's finale of 16 and Pregnant documented Cateynn and Tyler's decision to put their baby up for adoption. And as painful as it was to carry out, Catelynn says now that she has no regrets. Check out her update below...

Being pregnant as a teen was difficult, but it made me determined to finish school and go to college. It pushed me to do more and grow up.

The filming of this show was amazing. I grew really close to the crew -- they became like family. There were a couple of times when I just wanted them to go away because I had so much on my mind, but overall I'm very happy I did this. I put my story out there and hopefully helped millions of young girls who are going through the same thing I did.

Since filming wrapped, I've just been hanging out with friends and enjoying summer. There's not a day that passes that I don't think about my little girl, but I'm 100% confident in my decision.

I'm at peace with myself, especially knowing that my daughter is well loved and taken care of.

Tune in for MTV's 16 and Pregnant: Life After Labor (Thursday, July 23, at 10pm) to get more updates from Catelynn and the other five moms, and make sure to check out Remote Control after the special to watch extra interviews with each couple.

16 and pregnant caitlynn

While I am on the subject of babies...still
This is Catelynn from the show on MTV
called "16 and pregnant." She and her boyfriend Tyler were really strong, very responsible,
and gave up their daughter for adoption. (The only one in the series that did not keep the baby).
I sobbed through this whole show. I imagined my own daughter in this predicament, and how we would handle it.
What impressed me even more is that both Tyler and Caitlynn's parents were so rude to them, they told them to man up, and called them names.....the b word etc, because they thought the kids were selfish NOT keeping their babyand yet..they held to their guns under constant ridicule, and pressure to keep the baby. I wish I could hug this girl, and tell her how brave I thought she was. Much more selfless...then her parents, then MOST other teen moms are.
I believe it takes a stronger person to do this then to keep the baby.
Way to go Caitlynn. It was so hard to watch....but possibly the best show I have seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing your story! I think you are AWESOME!
