Jenelle Evans Reflects On Her 'Teen Mom 2' Transformation, Explains Why She And The Cast Are So Relatable

Jenelle Evans and the cast of Teen Mom 2 are back for a fifth season and in a new interview, Jenelle is opening up about how much she's changed since season four and why she and the rest of the girls are so relatable.

"I think being on the show helped me because I saw my flaws and I saw what I was doing wrong and I wanted to correct myself," Jenelle told Zap2It on January 21. "But after every season I ended up giving up, and in the fourth season I turned to drugs. Seeing myself go through that really motivated me to just constantly be positive and do well for myself and be focused on getting better and putting all my focus on [son] Jace."

During season four, Jenelle was caught up in an addiction to heroin and had put her son on the back burner. Now that season five is here, fans are seeing a different side of Jenelle, one that cares more about spending time with her son than getting high.

As for why she and the cast have touched the lives of so many around the globe, Jenelle says it's because of the variety of story lines each girl has shared.

"I think the reason why we're so popular is because our stories are just so different. We all have our own problems and deal with them in our own ways," Jenelle said. "It's not just the same storyline for each girl. It's something different every time. People can relate to something from every girl. Whether it's Kailyn [Lowry] with her family issues, or Chelsea [Houska] with boyfriend issues, and then Leah [Messer] has Ali's problems, her and Jeremy, and she has a new baby, and then you have me with a horrible last season. But I got through a drug addiction, so everyone can relate to one of our problems at least, or a couple or three of our problems."
