Parenthood is difficult for anyone. Add the element of being a teen to the challenging task of parenting and the stress seems unreal. A hit MTV reality show follows teens who have become parents, and in recent years, the public has seen these teen moms face more than parenting challenges. They've been arrested for incidents of domestic violence, drug use and more.

The most recent "Teen Mom" crime drama is that one of the now 20-year-old stars is in trouble for reportedly violating a restraining order that was out against her. The reality star is not a stranger to legal trouble. In fact, she was arrested not even a week before this violation for supposed harassment and threats. Our source does not indicate who the target of that supposed behavior was.

The mug shot from the young mom's most recent arrest for the restraining order violation shows her flashing a wide smile to the camera. Even though the young lady isn't a teen anymore, it seems as though she hasn't learned much from her rough teen years.

Her reported repeated violations of the law, including her alleged drug use, a past assault that was caught on camera and then what seems to be her unwillingness to accept the seriousness of her legal troubles, could soon land her behind bars and, therefore, out of her boy's life and out of the MTV spotlight.

She's been on probation since last March following an assault conviction. Repeated violations of probation, not to mention a restraining order violation, can show the court that an offender is unwilling to respect its orders. That can be a recipe for receiving jail time. This woman isn't 16 and pregnant anymore. She is an adult, and the court will handle her behavior more seriously now that she's all grown up.
