Why didn't Teen Mom make the cut?!
I believe everyone who was on the list deserved to be on it, but what I don't get is why Teen Mom did not make the list. The whole show is based off of teenage girls who get pregnant by there boyfriends, not husbands! All of the "stars" on the the show range from 16-18,usually before finishing highschool. They prance aroung like it's ok to be a 16 year old girl pregnant and a highschool drop out. As young girls we are very influenced by what we see on tv,and what they show is you can become famous if you have a baby at a young age.
One of the reason's why this show is a bad influence on girls is because it promotes teenage pregnancy. Throughout all of our lives we are taught about safe sex, waiting to you graduate and or until you are married to have a child. How can we go by this when media and everyone is exploiting these girls as stars? Young girls now and days choose tv stars as their idols and some lead them down the right path, and others to destruction. I have personally heard people say "Well I want to be on tv, so maybe ill get pregnant and sign up for the show". Not a good sign when these girls are only twelve and thirteen. These tv shows, while not influencing everyone, influences some and needs to be stopped before girls start popping out babies left and right.
In a way this show is very hypocritical. Society as a whole downgrades girls that are pregnant or have children at a young age, but when shows like this are being produced and advertised daily what are we to expect.Everyday we as young girls and even boys are preached at about safe sex and abstinence, but when we turn on the tv we see "Bristol Palin pregnant" and shows that parents have kids when they havent finished school, dont have a job,and are dependent on their parents. Our generation is so out of wack and when people see things like this they think it is ok.
All in all "Teen Mom" while some people love to watch it, to others is a bad influence and we should take from this show and do whats right by ourselves and not let the influences send us down the wrong path.
