Lifetime might be “television for women” but it’s also definitely “television to freak your mom out.” While you can probably laugh together about The Pregnancy Pact (because, true story or not, that one was extra ridiculous) Lifetime has provided a constant stream of entertainment to remind your mother just how dangerous the world is for women since before you were born.

Sip your drinks. And never drink the punk. And drink lots of water.
3. She’s Too Young (2004)
