Episode 409:

Three weeks after her daughter, Tinleigh, was born, Sarah's boyfriend, Blake left town. “I felt betrayed, angry and hurt. I'm now a teen mother, and a single mother,” Sarah wrote in a guest blog post for
Huff Post Teen
. “I love my daughter more than anything in the world, but the reality is that being a mom at 17 is difficult.” Still, Sarah managed to graduate high school with her class and is currently attending college, where she's majoring in psychology. As for Blake, he is currently living across the state line from Sarah in Tennessee. In December 2012, he was arrested in Hamilton County for unlawfully removing a vehicle's registration plate. A month later, he was picked up again by police for driving with a suspended license. In the summer of 2012, Sarah learned that he had impregnated another teenage girl. He is not in Tinleigh's life at all, according to Sarah. “I no longer watch my episode because of Blake,” she says, adding that it's unlikely that we will see her on television again. “As far as doing a 'Where Are They Now?' [episode for
16 and Pregnant
] no,” Sarah says. “They would want to talk to Blake and about him and I don't want to deal with it. I am and always will be so thankful I wasn't chosen [for
Teen Mom 3
]. The only positive thing of that show is money,” she says. “I believe 16 and Pregnant encourages teen pregnancy. It's no longer realistic.”
