Every time I'm looking for something to watch on TV I do what everyone else does, scan through some of my favorite channels. Now this would be nothing to rant about if it wasn't for MTV. It seems that every time I check what's on MTV, I always see Teen Mom or 16 and Pregnant. I know I probably do not need to say anything else but I have to get it out. WHO ACTUALLY ENJOYS THIS SHIT?! The sad answer is a lot of people, especially girls my age.
Recently I was talking to my sister and she told me that she actually watches it. After ranting about the show to her and questioning if she was related to me, she told me an actual good excuse of why she watches it. She said it makes her feel better about her life. Of course I got a good laugh out of this, she must be related to me after all.
Now i would like to think that everyone that watches these shows had the same excuse as my sister but i know better. A scary thought that i came across lately is that some girls who watch these shows actually idolize these stupid kids who get themselves into these situations. Why would I think this? Its simple, if you ever watch the show, MTV makes these girls look like courageous heroes. They make their lives seem so hard. Now I'm not saying raising a kid is a simple task, but you have to be a fool to not think MTV is paying for that child's needs. Another reason I think viewers of this show idolize these girls is because of how many pregnant girls, my age or younger, I see walking around pregnant as shit. There's some scary thoughts for your weekend.
