MTV's 16 and Pregnant & Teen Mom

I figured I would talk about MTV's two popular shows and the way people look at them. I keep reading everywhere that people hate these shows because they promote teen pregnancy. I hate to tell everyone but if you watch these shows they dont have it easy and they go through issues. I am pretty sure there might be some girls out there that want to have kids early and that is their business and choice, but I doubt after watching theses shows and seeing how hard it is they are sitting there saying man it really looks like fun to go through that and have a baby. I also feel people dont take in account that teens life and what they have been through or even the way they became pregnant. I also see that people slam pregnant teens when they are happy to be pregnant, but have you stopped and thought about what they are thinking in there mind. When I got pregnant my boyfriend told me right there that he thought I was going to be pregnant because the condom broke, but do you know how many people judged me and told me how I should of used a condom. I also remember when I finally told my parents I showed my belly off to everyone. I figured if they were going to look and point figure and talk crap I wasnt going to hide it what was the point. Just because I showed my belly and didnt hide it also didnt mean I was happy to be having a baby. My point being is MTV's 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom are not telling teens to go get pregnant they are showing people how hard it is when you have a baby and showing the things these girls go through to help teens see its not a game or a joke. Like I told my friend its not like when you have your sisters baby and you can give it back when you have a baby you are with that baby all the time.

A Little Bit About Me

Hi everyone, This is my second blog. I created this blog to make a safe and comfortable place for teen moms and pregnant teens to come and talk. This is an open conversation and has no limits if its on your mind then lets talk about it. I personly know how hard it is to be a teen mom. I got pregnant when I was only 15 and had my daughter when I was 16. Telling my parents wasnt the easiest thing in the world. In fact when I told my parents I was pregnant they kicked me out of the house for a month. It may not have been that long but when your only 15 and you 6 months pregnant its very scary. I hid my pregnancy from my family until I was 6 months pregnant it wasnt easy but I knew what my parents would do when I told them. The main reason my mom kicked me out was because I refused to have an abortion. After a month of being kicked out of my house my father stood up an forced my mom to take me back in, this was also on halloween. Even though I was happy to be back in my house I didnt want anything to do with my mom. even though they took me back in doesnt mean they were nice about it for the rest of my pregnancy all I kept hearing was mean things like, I hope your in labor for hours and hour, I hope you are in a lot of pain, I hope you get an epideral (I didnt want one and didnt have one) and I hope they have to cut you when she comes out. Because of the mean words they kept saying to me I decided the only person that would be in the room when I have my daughter was her dad. Now that you guys know somethings about what I have gone through I invite you to come and talk with me and who ever else decides to join use.
