If I'm super stressed out that I'm not where I am supposed to be in life (age wise, I'm totally behind with my education/graduation/career), I turn that show on, and feel much better about life's blessings.
I loved how that one girl.. crap, what's her name. The girl who's been in and out of jail for being violent? Her baby daddy's name is Gary? The one who spent $300 on an X-Box or something? And yet bought her engagement ring at a walmart for $25, and was STILL hesitant on spending "THAT MUCH" $.

As for the rest, there are some who clearly need rehab, counseling, and/or a swift kick (or several) in the butt.
What would be interesting is to take bets on which Teen Mom star will next get breast implants. I think so far, MTV money has enhanced these bustlines: Maci, Farrah, and Janelle. My money would be on Chelsea.

Really, Janelle? I hadn't noticed... When did she do that, in between jail stints?
I watched one episode for a bit a couple weeks ago. I was going through a really severe bout of morning sickness that was making me doubt my ability to be a parent, so it seemed like it would be a reassuring show. I don't know who I was watching, but the characters made me lose a bit of faith in humanity so I changed the channel. There was a lot of screaming between the teen mom and her baby's father. It was just so sad.amc80|1341870344|3231204 said:I'm addicted to all of those shows. They help me build confidence in my ability to take care of a baby.

I know! And these people are out-breeding us....
Do you know who I really like? Jennifer, the one who had twins with her boyfriend, Josh. He proposed on their anniversary. Remember her? Her family seemed really cool- supportive without enabling. The last update said she moved out of state to get away from Josh because she was afraid for her kids (he threw her and the babies out of the car on the side of the road...).
I mean it helps that her family apparently has money and is fully supporting her and the babies while she goes to school...but still, she seems to have her stuff together.

Absolutely! She is absolutely hateful to her parents. She actually has a lot of family support, but she treats them like dirt. Did you see her out on that date? If I were that guy, i'd SPRINT in the other direction!

Totally! I couldn't believe how hostile she was to him right off the bat.
P.S. Why did she get another dog? She already gave one away. Poor puppy.

Sadly, I googled this to find out a while ago. I've read a few things about why she calls her dad Michael. One was that her mom had Farrah call her father by his first name since Michael is not Farrah's sister's biological dad. I guess Farrah's mom didn't want Farrah's sister to feel excluded. As odd as that was to me at first glance, I realized it wasn't all that strange. A friend from college also called her father by his first name, so I thought they weren't related by blood. Turns out that her older siblings, who were adopted by her mom before her mom got married or had any biological kids of her own, had grown up calling her dad by his first name and so it stuck and trickled down to the two biological kids. (For the record, her dad didn't seem to mind.) Another explanation, by Farrah somewhere, is that she did this because she was angry at her dad when he took her mom's side after the assault. However, I sort of wonder why she's not calling both her mom and her dad by their first names if that's the case.

Yep. I also thought her mom and Michael divorced a couple seasons ago, but he appears to still live at the mom's house? Or at least he's always there. Seems like a nice guy.

I can't help but feel sorry for him. Did you see the episode where he basically packed up all of Farrah's things, drove cross country all by himself, and then helped her get set-up? Not that that's not a typical thing that a caring parent would do, but Farrah just didn't seem all that appreciative....but, IMO, she rarely seems appreciative when her parents are trying to be nice.
