I find it extremely sad that kids are so easily influenced and what saddens me even more is that they have no idea how edited things are and how staged it can be. I'll be 23 in June so youre not that much older than me. Even in our age group we had our fair share of electronic influence but I kept myself in sports and I'm just wired different. Me and my boyfriend were talking the other day that if / when we have kids we wont shut them up by sticking an Ipad or tv infront of them. If were riding in a car there will be no tvs on behind the head rests unless we're on a long road trip. My parents and I played verbal games, we talked, they educated us. I fully intend to do the same with my family. I'm not going to stick a video game in front of my child to keep them happy. And I totally feel that people turn out the way they do because of their upbringing. There are exceptions to every rule but things are not what they seem on tv or in magazines.
You know I've seen Baby High. I tend to switch the channel but Ive caught a few episodes here and there. I really think its great that these women have an outside form of support and help and those girls seem to be a little more motivated to get their lives together than those on Teen Mom and 16 and preggo.
