Teen Mom

Now, call this a case of the pot calling the kettle black, because reality shows are aimed toward my demographic. Some I watch out of curiosity, like Love Island, others I am just baffled and avoid like the plague.

The basic premise of this show is that it revolves around a bunch of shallow teenage girls who ended up getting pregnant and becoming celebrities. That's it. Honestly, how this show even got to air is absolutely beyond me. You hear stories that reality shows promote bad messages to young people and you see them struggling with mental health and body image. What message is this sending out: "Girls, if you want to REALLY become famous, get pregnant by a scumbag and you'll be golden!" Yeah, that's the way to do it. Much to the detriment of your social life and education.

And what will happen to them when their five minutes of unwarranted fame are over and their boyfriend runs off with the next floozy he comes across? You know, the one he met behind the KFC that closed down due to food poisoning.

And I doubt these girls are good role models to their children. I bet they just parade them around like those dogs in handbags before dumping them on their smackhead parents and going off to party with their shallow mates.

In short, this show must be immediately cancelled and consigned to the history books.

This has to be one of the worst shows ever..we shouldn't promote pregnant / mom teens. They are bad examples for our teens period.. when my mother was a teen They wouldn't even let a pregnant teen go to school because it promotes the wrong things to other teens. Period. What is wrong with society that thus is now accepted?

Okay I dont even know how many seasons there are of this to date, but its one too many. All of the girls are living a lifestyle one can only dream of, just from being a knocked up teen. Its hard to believe this show is still going, and its gone downhill rapidly. Half of the girls have more issues than Vogue, and most of the storylines are full of fake scenarios just to get viewers or attention. It has glamorized teen pregnancy in many ways because those girls and their children will never struggle like normal teen mums do. I used to watch this show religiously, but it run its course long ago and I'm just not interested anymore.

I LOVE this show and 'some' of the positive influences that the show portrays. I would have given this a 10 but there is one person of the show who should be permanently removed; yes Farrah. She is such an ignorant person. She's so mean to her mom and shows her actions are OK in front of her child as she reacts towards her mom. Come on now, your child is seeing this and a child reactions are from what they see and are exposed to. I wouldn't be shocked to see the baby girl acting the same way to Farrah as Farrah acts towards her mom; Farrah is allowing her t do this now to her mom. It's time to get over the way her mom was when she was younger, you live, learn and move on. It's time for that. I just wished she would see this and her mom would just let her grow and realize what she has and come to her own realization that it's mistreatment. I feel so sorry for Farrah's mom and daughter, even those whom she encounter. She's a time bomb that's exploding slowly and getting worse as it goes along. GET IT TOGETHER FARRAH, GROW UP. PLEASE MTV, continue to air the show and portray the positive people and their actions, but remove Farrah. She alone, miserable, and a sad, sad, case. The is and will be so much better without her. The other ladies are GREAT, show positiveness in their actions and lives; it's always that bad apple, 'Farrah', that ruins the whom bunch. She's BAD for the show and should not be aired on any future ones-should there be any.

I avoid reality shows in general, but find those that challenge people athletically to be tolerable. But THIS one, which I have avoided until I recently, out of boredom, made the unfortunate choice of watching - completely sent me over the edge. I found myself asking the question: which teen mom do I want to slap the hardest? And which of their parents should be slapped even harder? First, Farrah: Spoiled, shallow, defensive, angry, and totally removed from reality. After watching Farrah verbally abuse her mother thru 4 episodes, and give away a dog because it was inconvenient to make the effort to train it, it makes me cringe to think about what kind of person, her toddler, Sophia will be. Most likely, Sophia will be: spoiled, shallow, defensive, angry, totally removed from reality, and hopefully rude as hell to her overbearing, narcissistic mother. Farrah seems to believe she's a Kardashian. She's not. Then there is Maci: a pretty, blond who is bored with life. In every scene, between flipping her hair around, she seems to be constantly thinking about how to stir up conflict, and has to be the center of attention at any cost. Her poor child, Bentley, named after a vehicle, is never allowed to be away from her because she disrupts his peace by appearing wherever he is, and making him want to be with her to the point of crying pitifully. I noticed Maci's skin progressively deteriorating into flagrant acne after a few episodes, and her personality becoming more manipulative and less pretty. Then there is Amber: this girl was ruined before she started. She has no imagination, and wallows in self-pity. I shudder at the thought that she has a child, and hope she is never allowed to raise a child. Catelynn is the most interesting of all the teen moms because she actually loved her child enough to sacrifice her own selfish desires and place her child with a good family. Her child actually has a chance at being raised to have self esteem, and a future. Catelynn has the most dysfunctional parenting situation of all the teen moms, yet has the most supportive partner in Tyler who actually listens to her, and doesn't make every scene about him. Tyler, who also has to literally raise his own father, the idiot Butch, seems unusually stable and mature for his age. I found myself rooting the most for Catelynn to succeed because, although she is very young and has NO role models, she is the most unselfish of the 4 teen mom's. As far as this show representing anything about reality, it does not. Most teenage girls who get pregnant don't have the money to live in their own apartments and go to college, or hire a nanny. This show actually encourages teenage girls to get pregnant, and I'm very disappointed that MTV would participate in such a trashy project. How about a reality show entitled, "Hollywood Whores?" featuring the soul traders of Hollywood, and how many lives they ruin in exchange for profit, sexual favors, and promises of success that will never happen? I'd watch that.
