so i know im behind on this post so i want to apoligize for that.
so to start i just finished watching a rerun on the popular t.v. show teen mom. on the show Maci finally moves to nashville to be with her childhood friend and new found love kyle , farrah reaches out to shophies dads family because she needs someone in his family to do a DNA test so her baby can get the money she deserves, amber and gary fight like always, and catelynn and tyler deal with tyler's dad being in jail still.
their sturggles seemed harder than ever, and i know they are all true ive seen many of these struggles in my friends lives and yet to see more. which i will go into in another blog.
as i was watching this i saw a comment thread more like a chat room off to the side where people are supposed to talk about the show, were they doing that? of course not.
in the chat room they were all putting down this 12 year old, who turns out to have made it all up, for having a baby at her age. other people chimed in talking about how having a kid a 16,17,18,19 even 20 is bad. how especially at 12 she was sooooo wrong for what she did and how they would kill their children is that happened. how they were all better parents because their kids would never sleep around ever!!
I couldn't understand how all of these people could be so mean to a perfect stranger. so i commentd " why udge what has happened has happened she will hear from her own mother what she needs to hear she doesn't need strangers being so cruel everyone makes mistakes all they can do is go on with their life"
now don't get me wrong I don't believe that having a kid under the age of 22 is ok. I think everyone should wait. but life does happen. i mean look at me i had a baby at 16 years old. it was unplanned unthought of. but life happens. ys
as for the today show i agree with catelynn and tyler completly, i mean you guys tell me what you think but does yelling , physicalabuse, custody battles, heartbreaks, being scammed, being alone, crying babies at 2am till 5am or later sound glamourous to you??? i mean yes parenthood has its perks but teen mom hardly shows them if you ask me . i believe the point of teen mom was to get into younger childrens heads that yes having sex does have negative effects the only true way of not having a kid is to not have sex. teen mom is showing the struggles that young moms go threw everyday. if someone can think of how this is glamorous i would love to know.
well that is all for now.

I, too, was a teen mom. I was sixteen when I got married and seventeen when I had my first daughter. Even though I married the baby's father, I am thankful that I had my mom and dad to babysit A LOT! With both me and my husband raising her, there were times we just both needed a break for days at a time, it seems!! If I had my life to do over, I would still want all of my children, but I would rather be twenty-seven when I had my first one instead of a teenager. This is very hard on a teenager, even a married one! Then when my middle daughter was seventeen, she got pregnant with my first grandson. I told her that I would raise the baby until she finished her senior year. I wanted her to have the life that I had to miss out on. Things did end up working out great for all of us concerned. Today my grandson is sixteen years old with a girlfriend of his own. He has been told all the stories of how he came a tad bit early, but I would not take a farm in Texas for this wonderful boy today. He is one of my greatest blessings! Good luck on your research paper and your good times and troublesome times of being a teenage mom. Just do not blink, they grow up too fast!!
oh my goodness! i love watching teen mom! a lot of my friends are teen moms now and i see them struggle, bet hey i am there to help in any way i can plus i love kids! i have 9 siblings so i am constantly surrounded by children and noise! but the teen mom show really is the highlight of my day. i really am happy for maci for actually moving away and gary and amber..geez fight much shes never happy. tyler and catelyn are seriously one of the toughest couples i know, it must be hard to do what they did and live with what catelyns mom does and says to them. and tyler having his father in jail. thats horrible what people said the that twelve year old girl...really grow up..its life
