In a couple of weeks, MTV will start airing their new documentary series, "Teen Mom." A follow-up to the hit "16 and Pregnant," this new show takes you back into the lives of four of the original "16 and Pregnant" girls -- Maci, Amber, Catelynn, and Farrah -- for their first year of teen motherhood, asking whether you can live like a teenager once you've become a parent.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first heard that MTV -- the network that arguably started the reality TV craze with "The Real World" nearly a generation ago, and is now known for launching the careers of Lauren Conrad and Spencer Pratt -- was planning a documentary-style series on pregnant and parenting teenagers. After watching the initial six-episode run of "16 and Pregnant," I know one thing... I'm hooked and I'm going to watch every single episode of "Teen Mom."

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a a sucker for underdog stories. I've seen Rocky a million times, wept openly at the end of Rudy, and will argue that Daniel Larusso versus Johnny and the Cobra Kai Dojo is the David and Goliath story for the modern era. Feel free to disagree, but you better make a strong case to beat the Karate Kid as the greatest underdog story in film.

Anyway, I like underdogs. So when I heard the true-life story of Roxanne Shante earlier this week, I was pretty impressed by her perseverance. Back in 1984, then 14-year-old Roxanne had a hit song, "Roxanne's Revenge." The single was a hit, selling more than a quarter million copies in New York City alone, and it led to a recording contract with Warner Music. Like so many other young hip-hop artists of that era, she found out that the big record labels weren't so great after all. After two albums, she realized that her label was basically stealing from her and called it quits.

Roxanne ended up a teenage mother living in the projects in Queens. About to be homeless, she remembered a clause in her record contract that promised to pay for all her schooling - for life. And that's exactly what she forced Warner to do, allowing her to get her Ph.D. in psychology from Cornell University.
