I understand about them demeaning girls on shows like Secret Life, but on 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom, I think the point they really try to get across is what happens if you DO get pregnant as a teenager and how difficult it is. I love those shows, and it basically shows that, well, if you do this, this can happen, and I don't really want that. So, documentary shows such as those two aren't really demeaning, but the others that you mentioned can be taken that way.
