Let me explain. <br /><br />It is great to sit down with youngsters watch the brats on TV be horrible and take the opportunity to say, "WOW do we act like that, what do you think would be a better way to act, how do you think they should get in trouble for acting that way, are the parents being mean to the kids when they put them in time out, etc. . ." <br /><br />The answers from my child surprise me. she easily recognizes the poor behavior, AND is also able to see how the punishment fits the crime. <br /><br />I like having an easy opportunity to discuss difficult topics in a non abbrasive/accusitory way. <br /><br />I don't know if I would let a young teenager watch the show to use the same technique, but I do know I rather her watch it with me than with her friends.Rock, Paper, Scissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112149211926858731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-89102816099136160482010-01-26T09:13:43.527-08:002010-01-26T09:13:43.527-08:00The world is getting desensitized to the point tha...The world is getting desensitized to the point that almost everything is okay.

So I watched in online and had the same feeling as you. While I don't expect them to have a show with young girls living in the street barely able to eat with their babies in rags I did expect a more balanced approach. Then I remember it was on MTV thanked my husband for the no tv thing yet again and had a glass of wine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-90694312888450891752010-01-25T21:25:15.677-08:002010-01-25T21:25:15.677-08:00So you can have a fireplace, but not a candle?

They are pretty much for decoration here! <br /><br />I don't watch MTV, but what I have seen is not fit to watch and not encouraging me to watch more. I think publicity is publicity good or bad, and I'm guessing it's not a great idea, but again I haven't seen it.KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815049701010983875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-2243284057264770982010-01-25T17:19:25.216-08:002010-01-25T17:19:25.216-08:00Congrats on making it without electricity!

It is insane how much the world has just come to accept teen pregnancies and sexuality. It is used to be a bad/shameful thing if a teenage girl got pregnant..<br /> Now while people shouldn't be shamed, they should be glamorized and praised for mistakes that they make.<br />And well I am just going to stop before I really get going.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675419215475635276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-53891975534951382572010-01-25T11:45:26.144-08:002010-01-25T11:45:26.144-08:00I remember when MTV played music too.

I have teenage daughters and I know how impressionable kids are, I don't want them to think it is ok or easy or they can just go on TV and make money for having a baby. I think more people should take a stand with some of the junk on TV these days... ok off the soap box now.<br /><br />I too flip on the light when the power is out, our home cause a power surge when the power does finally come back on because every light in the house has been turned on.Together We Savehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294423259234525733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-81005314530172266302010-01-25T11:36:11.891-08:002010-01-25T11:36:11.891-08:00When hurricane Ike hit, we were without power for ...When hurricane Ike hit, we were without power for days. And you best believe everytime we went to the bathroom we turned on the light...lol. for me everytime I went into another room I turned on the light. I told my mom when the electricty finally comes back on, every light in her house will be on:-)<br /><br />As for MTV, I watched another show like that one called 16 and pregnant. To me it didn't seem like it was glorified. On the couple of episodes I saw, the girls spent most of their time crying about the fact they couldn't hang out and go with their freinds like they used to. As I watched, I spent most of time screaming, "You should have thought about that before you got pregnanat!" at the TV.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654799247385343040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-43672435209137527772010-01-25T11:07:31.845-08:002010-01-25T11:07:31.845-08:00I don't know why but I have watch several of e...I don't know why but I have watch several of episodes of that show and it makes me SICK!! I totally agree with you, it does NOT make it seem like it's "bad" or "hard" yeah sure they have some struggles but mostly they make it look pretty simple. Ugh I could go on and on about this...but I won't! :) But I agree, not a good show, I would not want my teenage daughter watching it.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095067364129313174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243779065169722919.post-35894044468651122922010-01-25T09:47:03.888-08:002010-01-25T09:47:03.888-08:00hMmm.
