Reality Television

 

                Back when I was younger I was always a little more into cartoons. As I got older I found myself more interested in reality shows like Teen Mom, Rock of Love, Flavor of Love and Jersey Shore. I could watch reruns all day if it were up to me. For some reason I grew so attached to watching those shows daily. It was mainly because all the so called ladies were having so much fun partying, drinking and being social. I was really into Teen Mom, because of all the drama all the girls would go through. I also seen nothing wrong with Teen Mom because every where I looked I seen another teen pregnant or hear of some of my classmates from elementary having babies. Jersey Shore gave me another reason to go out and have as much fun as they did. Although my parents didn’t really let me go out to parties, every chance I got I went out and tried to top anything any of the cast from Jersey Shore were doing such as drinking too much and causing trouble.

                Now that I sit back and really think about these reality shows I realized how stupid they really are. Really, who can find love on a show that there only on for three months? Personally that’s not true love and especially when there are a bunch of cameras and people around you never get the chance to even show that you like the person. As for Teen Mom, it just gives me another reason to look down on my generation. I know some of our parents had us at a very young age, but I bet if you compare the number of teen mothers from then and now my generation tops all. Not to talk down on those who are teen mothers, I get it things happen, people make wrong decisions or just aren’t thinking at the moment and they get the news that there due date is in 7 months. But Teen Mom has done such a good job at putting their lives out there and making it seem as if taking care of a child is no big deal. First off, how do girls even get on that show? Do they get pregnant and audition on who has the worst life? I really see no point in the show. I honestly think its stupid having a child at a young age but like I said things happen people just have to go from there and hope everything turns out good in the end. I can’t really talk down on that because my parents also had me at a young age and if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here or the person I am today. I would say they did a good job at raising me. But I just hope all the teens that are having children really step up and do good in school and still try to pursue their goals, not smoke weed and keep having babies that they can’t take care of because that’s pretty much the only thing Teen Mom shows, how much of a parent a person can’t be. As for all the other shows, their also stupid and the only time I watch them is at night so they can put me to sleep. I’d rather be out and about and hang out with friends than to sit at home and watch that junk.
