So, now that Teen Mom is over, I seriously don't know what to do with my life; that is until Teen Mom 2 starts, of course. If you haven't realized from some of my previous articles, I am a reality TV junkie. I honestly think it comes from my love for writing and imagining the scenes that I can write about in books. Here were some of my thoughts as I watched Teen Mom this season.
1. Every time Farrah got into an argument with someone.
Now, every time this face came on my TV screen, I wanted to cringe. She is so rude, disrespectful and has no regard for other people. I watch the way her parents stick around to help her with things, the way Simon keeps coming back, and the way everyone just tries to tiptoe around her. I honestly applauded Debra's fiancé for speaking on things that needed to be brought to Farrah's attention. Yes, he may have seemed out of bounds being that they had just met, but he was still very correct in the things that he said. I can honestly see how she is still cast for the show after physically pushing a producer, ordering them to use a porta potty and just being plain disrespectful to anyone in her wake. Farrah, please take into account that you are not above anyone and no one is beneath you. Whatever help it is that you need, please, for the sake of all that need to be in contact with you, seek and embrace it. Don't be ashamed, we all have our flaws; your flaws are seen more because you are on TV. Keep that in mind.
2. Catelynn leaving rehab
Sorry, I know this is an old picture but this was the quickest one I could find. Now, mostly through the season, I sympathized with Catelynn, being that I was someone that suffered from depression and suicidal ideations. My heart went out to her so many times, and I was ecstatic to see that she went to rehab to help herself. There was one thing that I was totally disappointed by, and that was when she covered up the camera and started smoking with her mother. I'm not a judge, nor can I be her jury, but I was very disappointed to see that she fell back into the error of her ways so soon, if at all.
3. Maci and her growth
Maci, I can't say she surprised me with her growth. I knew that she would always be the strong woman that you see on the show today, just from watching the previous seasons. From her arguments and expectations of Ryan to her being a great mom and finally finding love that she deserved, I applaud her. I could tell that she is very level headed and laid back. I was so happy that she finally got her dream--to be married to someone that shares an equal amount of love for her. I applaud her also for embracing Ryan's current girlfriend and allowing herself to have a moment with the woman.
4. Amber and her self-esteem
Amber, I sympathize with you when it comes to looking and feeling the best that you can. I agree with Matt when he said that you needed no surgery, but I also know how it feels to want to be the best you. Remember that no matter what the people on the other side of the television and magazines say, you are working every day to be the best you that you can be. Everyone has their flaws, and just because yours happen to be shown on TV doesn't mean that you deserve people picking into your life and depressing you. You're beautiful, and no one should be making you feel any different-- especially not Farrah Abraham.
These were my thoughts and feelings on Teen Mom: OG. Some are more heartfelt than others, and some are negative. This is just a glimpse into what other people on the other side of the TV see.
