OK, one of my guilty pleasures has been Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2. I know I know... mindless TV. OK, I work over 50 hours a week, so when I watch tv about 25% of the time, yes it is Mindless TV when I get off work at 1 am
Ok, anyway... if you watch the show, does anyone else feel bad for Jenelle? I mean, I know that addicts make their own choices to do the things they do. But she just got out of rehab like less than a month ago, now last nights episode aired and facing the social networking backlash (of comments like "You are a waste of space just kill yourself" on Twitter) she was arrested today with possesion of heroin again.
The show should serve as a lesson to other people, not cause them to say such cruel things to someone struggling with addiction. having struggled with my own types of addiction (Not drugs, but still unhealthy) I cant seem to stop thinking about this today.
OK, no-one else I know is as obsessed with Teen Mom as I am, so I hope someone here is and we can chat :laugh:

I am open to gossip about any of the Teen Mom's. not just Jenelle :laugh:0

I love Teen Mom...guilty. I feel sorry for her. She had a terrible upbringing and her life now is in shambles. Kieffer is no good. I'm just in shock over Kaitlyn though. I think she's just marrying that poor boy to get back at Joe!0

Im not a fan, but I was watching TMZ lastnight as saw that one of the girls made a porno ?? She made the porn with a famous male porn star and is now holding out on more money offers.
eta. I dont remember her name cuz Ive only seen a couple episodes quite a while ago. But meh, I thought it was kinda interesting. I remembered I didnt like her in the episodes I saw of her.. she seemed snotty lol.0 -
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.0

I know, I dont think she is doing that for the right reasons AT ALL! Poor Joe if she really does move away with Isaac.0 -

I am so sick of Jenelle's storyline in general!

I am.... But I love it all the same!0 -
I used to watch it, when Macy was on there, whatever one that was. I like her. Everyone else is a prime example of why you should wrap it before you tap it :noway:0
-
No. I would rather burn my non-existent tv than to watch teen mom.0
-
also guilty and ashamed to ber a fan of the show.
While i do not approve of the cruelty and telling someone to kill themselves, i do not feel sorry for her.
Addiction is bad, but she has had chance after chance, and just make excuses.
I cringe as she tries to make excuses for herself.
While her mother is not perfect, i can understand loosing her cool trying to deal with disappointment after disappoinment with Jenelle.
Jenelle is a bad egg.
That poor little boy!
Not only is that his mother, but his whole story is documentd on filem!0 -
I totes know what you mean! I can't believe Appleonia slapped Shanaynay over Jose's dog's Rolex!
... Okay so I don't watch it, sorry. Carry on, carry on.0 -
This makes me so thankful I don't have cable.0

how can you feel sorry for her?
i felt sorry for her until she went to rehab...if you go to rehab and then still continue on a bad path, you don't want to be helped.
she needs to grow up and get the help she needs.
you can't be so affected by what strangers say to you on social media when you have a kid.
it's ABSURD!0 -

Absolutely not, I think she's trash. Just like Amber, and Farrah is headed that way too. The rest of them I like :laugh:0 -
FARAH IS HER NAME THE ONE WHO MADE THE PORNO0
-
sounds like farrah....she is pretty...entitled is a nice word0

I absolutely hate that show for the way it portrays teen moms. Seriously, the fact that people actually watch it explains why this country is going down the ****ter. I was 19 when I got pregnant so I have been there but young women watch that show and don't even get a grasp of what having a child is like. And dumbass high-school girls don't realize that if they get knocked up they will have limitless money paying for their bills and housing.
I seriously cannot wait for the day MTV goes away.0 -
@ erhower...
<<<<<You may have met your match on the Teen Mom obsession!!
I DVR that Sh**!!! And yes after 8+ Hours at work, it's what I like to watch when I put the kids down...
And yes, I find myself SOMETIMES feeling bad for Jenelle but she does it to herself. It's not right to tell her she is a waste of space, but she needs to DROP REEFER KEIFER and focus on her son!! I just think it's hilarious that she has a puppy...YOU CAN"T EVEN SUPPORT YOURSELF OR YOUR SON AND YOU HAVE A F***** PUPPY?!?!? And she should be kissing her mother's feet for taking care of her son.
..And Kale, I like her she seems level headed but I DEF think she is kinda doing it to rub it in Joe's face... Joe's girl Vee looks like a little loosey goosey but I don't know her so I can't judge..
But I can SOO talk aboiut this all dayy!!
Hit me up!!)0 -
Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 are a guilty pleasure of mine. A train wreck and I can't look away.
I think Jenelle has had plenty of chances and has blown it repeatedly. But she has also been diagnosed as bi-polar, which complicates things. Mental health issues are nothing to scoff at. I really hope she gets proper help.0 -
I remember when MTV lived up to it's name: MUSIC televsion.0
-
Well she just got arrested again for possession of heroin and domestic assault.0
-
I don't feel bad for her
HOWEVER
I have no idea, with a mom like hers, how ANYONE would turn out well adjusted coming out of that house0 -
I've never felt and never will feel bad for her. She has never made Jace her priority and that poor kid is going to grow up and turn out worse than she is. She is sick and her mom is sick. Jenelle needs to grow the fu*% up and get herself together. Maybe now she will spend a few years in jail and fix her damn self. Doubt it though.0

My mom had all three of her children before she was 21--she admits she didn't make the wisest decisions, but she wouldn't trade us for anything (I hope! lol) She has been known to watch the show, and every time she does she just gets so mad, because she thinks it paints a picture that if you're a teenaged mother, you can just pass your kids off on your own parents so you can go do drugs or make a porno or go to a concert. She says that it doesn't portray the actual hard parts about being a teen mom and it glorifies young pregnancy and gives the impression that if you get pregnant at 16, 17, 18 years old, you'll just get your own TV show. I tend to agree, but I am not a mother. I would be interested to hear your thought on this!0 -

I agree! They are both horrible. I feel SO BAD for Jace. Jenelle is a piece of trash. She is ungrateful and stupid. Keiffer is bad news and she just keeps going back to him. The whole show is a train wreck that I can't stop watching, LOL!0 -

Yes I absolutely agree with your mom. I think that it makes the life look much, more glamorous or entertaining, and thus taking some of the seriousness away from actually going through it all.
My parents were not happy when I got pregnant. They came to the hospital for a short amount of time and maybe talked to me once a month during the pregnancy. It was horrible, I was alone the whole time and very sad. While in the hospital, I sat there alone with my new baby for 3 days, the only visitors being family who stopped in for 5 minutes. My life has been a struggle ever since. But I will say that I work harder than ever for things now. I have an amazing bf, a close relationship with my parents who adore their grandson, almost own my 4 year old car and just put an offer on a house at the age of 25. I am pretty pleased with where my life is now. But i didn't get there by having some company pay me to be on camera... No new clothes, no cool phone, going out and partying all the time OR sitting around my house. I work for it all.0 -
I used to watch it and like it (kind of in that trashy way lol) but it's just ridiculous now. Teen Mom (the first one) wasn't as bad but Teen Mom 2 is just a heaping pile of trash. Those girls are worse than the first set. And all the ones I liked are just horrible now (like Maci from TM1, seemed like a good girl, was portrayed usually pretty good but outside of the show all you ever read was about her partying, getting drunk as f*** almost every night, etc) Leah is just ridiculous. Used to like her but now..........2nd marriage, 3rd baby and she's only 20 or 21? And her attitude is so annoying ("The only reason I cheated on Corey the week (which was actually the night before) before our wedding was because I wasn't ready, but with Jeremy I know I'm ready"). Jenelle is a trainwreck (though people telling her to kill herself and whatnot is overkill here but she seriously needs rehab...and no tv show following her around)...Kailyn...used to like her but her attitude is sort of annoying now. Chelsea...hmm...she's okay. Was annoying as hell but she is slowly maturing but still annoying 60% of the time. lol
But, besides what I already know, I rarely watch it now but sometimes check blogs to see the dirty stuff on them. haha I always watched it as mindless tv too.
As for it portraying teen parenthood...hahaha! It's a joke. The whole show...is a joke... When they were all on 16 & Pregnant, sure, it was a fairly decent portrayal of teen pregnant and parenthood but once that first cheque comes then it's not. First season of Teen Mom was not as bad because they didn't have much of that money but once you get to the second season and so on they have SO MUCH fricken money from the show that it's just stupid. And of course they have to pretend like they're poor as s*** so it looked so stupid. I get the idea of going from 16 & Pregnant to Teen Mom. Of course everybody wants to see where these girls end up but what would've been much better is the episode of 16&P, then a catch up episode when the kid is a year old or so and then another one at 5 maybe and just follow them around for a week or so, have them talk about what's up with their lives or whatever and that's all. They won't be stupid rich from 5 seasons of a "reality" tv show.
And they tend to pick mostly trashy trainwrecks for Teen mom. A lot of the teen moms who have had successful relationships with the baby daddy (or without him) and have jobs, school, their own place, etc,etc are ones who just did their 16&P episode then went on with their lives.
Basically, the show is a trainwreck and not a good portrayal of teen parenthood. It USED to be good mindless, trashy TV but now these TM2 girls are sooooooo annoying that I can't even stand to watch the show for trashy entertainment...lol0 -
I watched one episode and couldn't really take it any more. Feel bad for ANY mom that has a kid before they graduated high school.0
