Teen mom is a show that I watch every. single. tuesday. I love this show! it's dramatic, and it shows teenagers how life would be as a parent. It's something that now a days more and more people are able to relate to. Some people may say that this show is trash, that no teen should watch a show called teen mom. But if you think about it, this show convinces teens out of the idea of becoming a teen parent because it shows how hard life is. None of these moms are still together with their boyfriend/ baby's father, most of them have rocky relationships with their parents, they struggle with money, and most importantly the majority of these moms have to give up school. May it be high school or college, each of these girls have to spend all of their time watching and caring for their children instead of  pursuing their careers.

The rate of teen moms is growing more and more day by day. Honestly, i think this show could really change the views about teenage parenting of many teens. Its sad that there has been 3 or 4 seasons of teen mom already, each with 4 sets of teen parents. It was so easy for MTV to find teen moms and thats sad. Also, there is more than one show about this topic. There is also 16 and pregnant, which is the same thing just with even more cases. Both of these shows really opened my eyes about the consequences of our actions and what we could have coming our way later in life

  1. I love the show Teen Mom! But seeing how each girl struggles every day with simple things definitely makes me think about how awful it would be to be in that position. I do think it is very entertaining though!!

  2. Another good post, Mia. I particularly like the way you use sentence fluency to make your point. The rhythm of your list of problems that the teen moms face, for instance, is really nice.
