casting call: mtv is looking for single parents

The MTV show True Life is looking for single parents.

Have recently become a single mom or dad? Do you rely on the support of family members or friends to keep your family intact? Are you determined to do whatever it takes to give your child a good life, even if it means sacrificing your own freedom/happiness?

…Or are you being raised in a single-parent household? Do you often play the role of the absent parent, helping raise siblings or pay bills? Are you trying to track down a parent who’s never been part of your life? Is your single parent trying to date again for the first time, or considering getting married, changing everything? If you’re being raised by a single parent or a single parent yourself, MTV wants to hear from you.

If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28, and your family is undergoing a major reconfiguration, email us at SingleParent@mtvn.com with all of the details. Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a photo, if possible.
