MTV's 16 and Pregnant

Ok, so I saw a piece of Farrah's episode last night. I like the show and I think it is a big wake up to the younger generation. Funny how she didn't understand why the girls on the cheer squad treated her differently. Her reason for quitting. Also, that she got stood up. I mumbled "what guy in their right mind would go out with someone 6 months preganant..." Mom came back with, "because than I guy could have sex and know she is not going to get pregnant." And I had my 'ahha' moment. duh!

So, mom turned it into a sex talk. I am 29 and lived with a guy for 4 years. I still got the sex talk.

I don't think I would have sat with mom to watch the show when I was 15. I hope there are some parents that will use the show to open lines of communication.

Even at 29 I would never want to put myself in the position to sit my parents down and say I am pregnant.

It's not fun! I don't think I'm planning to have more kids, but if I change my mind, I look forward to being able to call people and cry happy tears while sharing my great news...instead of being terrified to tell them because I don't know how they'll react!
