"It seems that shows like Teen Mom are all of a sudden making teen pregnancy seem cool in the eyes of young girls. The kids from these shows are all over the news, even on the covers of magazines, and have been become almost like celebrities, but girls, these are not people you should idolize! When I think back to when I was 16, there is no way I would even have considered having a baby. That thought wouldn’t even have entered my head. Having a baby is one one of the biggest, and most life-changing decisions a person can make and while I’m not saying that no teen is in the position to raise a child, having a baby so young shouldn’t be seen as the trendy thing to do."
Kim Kardashian latest blog http://perezhilton.com/2011-01-19-kim-kardashian-blogs-about-teen-pregnancy is in regards to teen moms. She discusses how media is "glamorizing" teen pregnancy and how she is against it. In this blog, Kim states her opinion and view on this matter. Many individuals commented on her post, attacking her for the choices she made in the past. Many of the people that comment, express their anger through vulgar language that clearly states their opinions.
The contents and comments on of this blog were very comforting to me. Although I agreed with many of the comments made, I struggled with trying to understand why they may have felt it was necessary to use the words that they did. I feel that when such 'angry' words are chosen to express one's feelings, it in reality has an impact on my attitude and view on the actual comment itself. Although the commenter may have a justified point, I feel all meaning and authority is lost when such words are used. There are many other manners in which one can express their opinion on a topic, rather than using inappropriate language to do so.
Very true, Lynita. Your comment about meaning being lost when they use such vulgar language is a good point. I too think that such language does not need to be voiced in this kind of conversation. However, I do find it pretty humorous that Kim Kardashian of all people is saying that OTHERS are bad role models when she is who she is...
