No I'm not prego or anything, but I have started watching the MTV show Teen Mom. I have a lot to say about this show. I think its pretty cool that they have this show because our society is beginning to accept teen pregnancy as the norm, and I think that is dangerous. There isn't anything wrong with being a single mom! My biological mom was and still is a single mother. And my baby sister is a single mother. But I think that societies acceptance of this situation is scary. The idea is that being a mom is glamorous and fun! And it can be fun! But dirty diapers and little to no money isn't glamorous. I hope that this show can enlighten young girls and show them that they should be practicing safe sex or abstinence if they want to have the most successful family situation they can.
One of the most stressful parts of the show are the parents. The first thing they expect is maturity. How can you expect maturity from a 17 year old kid that didn't have the maturity to practice safe sex in the first place? Having a child doesn't give a person automatic maturity. Its something they have to work at and without the help and support of their parents that isn't going to happen in a healthy way.
