LOS ANGELES – Young girls anticipate many things: their birthday, Halloween, Christmas.

The premiere of MTV’s second season of Young Mothers Rule!

YMR! is a show that follows four teenage mothers around their hometowns as they  neglect their children, fight with their baby daddies, and encourage innocently promiscuous girls around the world to have little tykes of their own.

Last season, YMR! followed around Kelly, D’Breeyahnuh, Jessee, and Maria.

Jessee was considered the favorite (behind D’Breeyahnuh of course), last season. The 18 year old cared for her beautiful son Farley in between spending time with her new boyfriend, smoking weed, and hooking up with her baby’s daddy (and his co-workers). “Jessee showed us that it’s okay to be a normal teenage girl, and have a kid too. I mean who knew you could still get baked after having a kid?” says viewer Chassidy, “I mean that’s the only thing that was holding me back, and the fact that I don’t have any money – but Jess had that under control too! A dancer at the local club? Do you know how much money comes in from that? She’s mother of the year, hands down.”

Maria, 17, the first person in her family to not be known by her mug shot on the 6 o’clock news, was seen as the good girl of the group. Trying to make a living for herself as a house maid to support her son Jose, age 2, Maria was not the show favorite. “She was trying too hard,” says viewer Katelyn, “I mean, she’s 17, by herself and with a kid. She still has 4 more years until she actually has to grow up! She should have just left the snot nose with her grandma. I mean she probably knows a little more about parenting than Maria, don’t you think?”  

D’Breeyahnuh, 16, was the only one to have more than one kid (Q’L’aneesia, Ralph Lauren, and Leroyetta, all under age 3). Her segments were more about her flunking high school, getting multicolored weaves, and trying to find out whom each child’s daddy was, than her taking care of her children. “I just pray for her,” said her teary-eyed mother Ellie May, who is more of a guardian to her children than D’Breeyahnuh herself, “she’ll come around one day. I just hope it's soon.”

Kelly, 15, from Willacoochee, GA, and her boyfriend of 9 months seemed to be the most stable couple on the show, texting each other every night; her from her YMR!-paid-for iPhone 4 in her trailer home, and him from his smuggled Nokia in jail. “Oh, were getting married once he finishes his sentence,” says Kelly, “not his like, word, you know talk sentence, but like, his jail sentence. He’s in jail.” Kelly has a 1.2 GPA.

The show is expected to have 69.8 million viewers tune in tonight. “I’m leaving school early to get prepared for the YMR! party I’m throwing tonight,” says 14 year old Becky, “I’m inviting all the girls in the 9th grade. I ordered fake baby bumps and everything, only for the people that aren’t already preggo of course. So I only had to get like 7 or 8. Go YMR! Whoo!”

YMR! season 2 premieres tonight at 10:00pm eastern time.
