i find it so hypocritical, you watch tv
shows or movies and they show a young
teenager pregnant and everyones so
excepting towards it. but most (not all)
in reality are so judgmental and cruel in
this day and age.

Most people on tv are thin, good looking,
have perfect hair and make-up and great
clothes, and don't really seem to have
money issues.
No one ever claimed that tv was 'real'.

of course tv isnt real. but some of the
things they portray are made to be
realistic.
it shouldnt make a difference whether they
are good looking or not. im sure there are
many good looking pregnant teenagers out
there that get cruel opinions

What laura is saying is that you can't put
stock in what you see on television. It
isn't real therefore it is not portraying
what happens in real life. Heck, you can
barely believe what you see on the news
half the time. Do we wish life worked as
well as it does on tv? Sure. Does it ever
actually happen that way? Not even close.

i think the point the poster was trying to
make was maybe if they want us to beleive
whats on TV or even be interested in it,
perhaps it should be a little more along
the lines of real, or more beleivable.

TV should be more realistic, but that's
not going to happen. I've learn't to deal
with it, i'm a 16 year old mother of a 3
month old baby girl and if someone doesn't
like it then in the nicest possible way
they can shove it up their arse
hahah true very well said. i totally
agree.
but it angers me off that people cant
except it.
40 years ago it was seem as a ok thing to
have a child at a young age.
why not now.
im sure there were some immature people
those days. and there are today. but there
are also some very mature young mothers
that are doing great. and i gets me so
annoyed when people look down on it.

I agree they should make movies about teen
parents more realistic, they glorify it
really. It should put teen girls off
wanting a baby young but it has the
opposite effect. "Riding in cars with
boys" was better because it showed them
struggling to cope with their situation.
