7 Reasons Why Teen Mom is Horrible ...

Well, Teen Mom just ended for another season. This is bittersweet for me, although I know season 3 is in the works. Still, nothing is going to be quite like the season past. I have a love/hate relationship with this show: I love it because I hate so many of the girls. They’re such marvelous little trainwrecks -- as you shall see!

When it first started, Teen Mom did a pretty good job of detailing what it was like for teenage moms. You got to see the stresses and the heartaches, the accomplishments and the good moments. With the second season, the controversy is how much these girls are getting paid. Because little miss Maci rented an $800/month apartment with no plans to work for three months. Uh. What?

Amber

You know, Amber has personally waged war with a ton of individual bloggers. I wish I was one of the lucky few, because there are so many things I’d like to say to this girl. Like, maybe you should tone down the orange, sweetheart. And hey, maybe you should think about why your head stayed so large when you lost so much weight. And also, PLAY WITH YOUR DAUGHTER. Don’t worry, we’ll be revisiting individual traits about Orange Julius here.

Frequently asked questions

April

For those not in the know, April is Catelynn’s mom. Catelynn dates Tyler. Tyler’s dad is Butch. Butch is married to April. You see where the pattern perpetuates? April is … on something, I fear. This woman speaks and acts more like a teenager than her teenage daughter. She is what Amber will be and look like in about 20 years.

Amber's Laziness

Yes! She gets mentioned three times! Because her sloth deserves its own category. This girl is always laying down. Always. She’s either sprawled out on the couch or beached in her bed. Coupled with her massive personality problem and her huge violence issues, you really have to wonder what’s going on in that disproportionate little body.

Domestic Violence

Throughout the course of this season, Debra allegedly hit her daughter Farrah (am I horrible for understanding how this might happen?), and she went to jail, had court obligations, had to go to counseling, and so on. On camera, Amber was seen several times beating the ever loving crackers out of her on/off fiance, Gary. With her child right there. Know what happened? Nothin’... MTV is awesome.

Maci’s Forehead

You know, I used to love Maci. Sometimes I still do. However, I do not love her forehead. Homegirl needs some bangs. I won’t even get started on her streaky spray tan or how it makes her arm pits look. Right now, I’m more concerned about her forehead.

Farrah's Cry Face

Farrah Abraham makes the most horrendous face when she cries. I like to make a drinking game out of it. Every time her face starts to scrunch up to make it look like there are tears squirting out of her eyes, you take a shot just so the Halloween mask of an expression doesn’t scare the heck out of you when she looks up again.

Yet still, I giddily look forward to Season 3. There are prevailing rumors that none of the old girls will be on it, but I pray for Amber at least. She’s like the teenage Danielle Staub. Am I alone here? Does anyone else love to hate on this show?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Actually Lindsie, I did watch the show. And i feel all these girls are pretty because they don't have time to concentrate on their appearence. You have to agree if they did then they would be bad mothers right?

I'm really disappointed. I thought this was going to be about the message this show is sending teen girls or something along those lines. Including personality flaws was OK, too. But personally attacking these girls' physical appearances as reasons to not like the show? Really?! Amber, for example, is actually a really good/realistic mom for the most part... but her forehead makes the show horrible? This just seems so petty. I normally love, and will continue to love, most posts on here, but this one is totally out of character for this site.

For goodness sake, don't like it, don't comment. I bet this poor girl is sick of defending herself. I for one am glad I'm not the only one who thinks farrahs cry face is ridiculous but can't say I've noticed how big macis forehead is lol ;)

I agree with the above posters, why are you bashing the girls for their appearance? It's supposed to model real life, where you don't always look like you are hollywood material. So Farrah makes a weird cry face. Some people do that when they cry. This post was rude and judgmental and NOT a good reason why Teen Mom is horrible.

Oh well. Im glad you aren't starting a fight with people who are sharing their opinions :) thats really cool of you. Anyway i kind off agree with your part on Amber - the domestic violence was a total no-no.

I agree with some of the points on here but like ferrahs cry face that kinda bugged me too but macis forehead /:| come on for real dude

This is quite funny and true but these girls help other teen moms .. What theses girls do wrong other girls will see and try to not do what they did and better their self as a parent. I think its a great show and hopefully parents like caitlyns will see april and try not to be do harsh on their child decisions even though I thought shw she should have kept it but its bette lr than abortions. And I live MACI she's independent but boy stupid like a dummy . Amber just need therapy but I loved her for sticking up for herself. Farah was um idk bitchy AND MORE OFD A CRY BABY THAN HET OWN CHILD but idk shw was ok I guess. WHAT EVERY HAPPENED TO EBONY HER MAN WHO WENT TO THE NAVY BUT SHE STARTED HOME IDK. BUT HOPEFULLY TEEN MON mATURE FROM THIS

this is horrible, NOT the show. bashing maci's forehead? seriously, how immature is that. And honestly, we all have things we dont like about us, our nose,eyes,lips,ears, and other body parts so bashing her on that just shows what a bad person you are.

I understand what you are saying, but does it really make you any better to be-little these girls the way you did?, such as the faces they make or the way they look. Those have nothing to do with their parenting skills, clearly you are the one with the insecurities...I'll be sure to keep people like you in my prayers.
