I love how she's getting ready to go out and her mom just LOSES it and is like "WTF do you think he is? A dog or a cat?"

haha yes..she just lets him "lie around the couch."
The scariest part about this episode is the way she got pregnant, one of my friends does that (stops taking her pill if she isnt around/hooking up with any guys, then restarts)..Ill have to show her this one!

I assume your friend isn't a teenager, so is this under the advice of a medical professional or just lack of common sense and stupidity?

Or she should just read the pill packet that come with every single pack of pills. Sorry, but it's just my pet peeve when people take any type of pharmaceutical and don't know how it works.

Dr Phil- Nope she is 24 and lacks quite a bit of common sense and patience.
Joliebelle- I couldnt agree more. Ive told her quite a few times that she is taking it WRONG and if she is going to be hooking with guys that she needs to use back up protection..God only know if she listens!

I finally watched Jenelle's episode last night. Did anyone else think her boyfriend was a druggie? He looked HORRIBLE, huge dark circles under his eyes. And he mentioned that he used to have a car, apartments, nice things.. and now is broke living with his parents. Seems to me like he may have literally 'blown' through that money.
I say it every single episode, my mom would've slapped me if I spoke to her like that. I'd have zero social life, my mom would've laughed in my face if I said I was going out and could she watch the baby? These parents need to call social services. I liked how Jenelle kept threatening that she'd just leave the house.. her mom should've kicked her out and changed the locks.
Sometimes this show makes me too angry to watch because these kids are just so STUPID. Why do they all seem to think their lives will be the same after a baby? When I was in high school, I was terrified of getting pregnant. I still am, and I'm 24! Maybe my school and parents just did a great job of beating it into my head that teenage pregnancy and parenthood is horrible.

I totally agree. The thought of getting preggo now is just as terrifying as it would be at 16 to me. Honestly my mother didnt have to tell me how ridiculous having a baby while im still a baby is, common sense did that lol!

I personally feel this show does glamorize teen pregnancy. MTV is taking a subject that is now on the rise again and putting it on reality television. Teenagers (well all of us) are being BOMBARDED with reality shows. Then these reality show stars because "real" stars and taking up covers of People (i.e. Heidi Montag-Pratt).
Remembering how stupid I was as a teenager, I was all about Hollywood and "wanting to be famous" myself.
I wouldn't be at all suprised if girls will eventually deliberately get pregnant so that they can call MTV and be on the show. My own stupid cousin (now 20) deliberately got pregnant at 18. Remember the pregnancy pact in Maine? Those girls go so much attention because they got pregnant.
The thing is, these girls are obviously craving attention in their lives, and now they are getting it, albeit negative. But as a teacher, kids don't care whether they are getting positive or negative attention, all they care about is "getting attention".

I agree with you. I was on a messageboard after I had googled one of the girls. There were teen girls posting on there how they were so excited for the new season to start and actually thought it was COOL that one of the new girls has twins. Teens think MTV is cool and "reality". They don't know what real life is like.

I thought meth-head but then again he might've just lost his job like thousands of others have. He did say McD's told him he was too over-qualified which wouldn't surprise me if it was true because I've had friends who've been told by Target that they are too qualified.
My parents instilled the fear of God in me to not do drugs and not get pregnant. The chance of disappointing them alone kept me away from that stuff. I had the strictest parents of my friends in junior high and eventually they let up as I got older because of gaining my trust. What happened to those kids I hung out with in junior high whose parents didn't care where they were? One is in prison for life on a conspiracy for murder charge. The others had kids either in high school or right after, out of wedlock. Some have done jail time. Things do happen but it really comes down to teh parents.
