Teen Mom, MTV's hit show?!

Teen mom, MTV's hit series was very entertaining, until it got too real! Domestic violence is no joke. It's a very real problem in society today! This show portrayed Amber, a teen mom,  being physically and emotionally abusive to her boyfriend, Garry, in multiple occasions! Most times in front of their one year old baby!! It's ironic that in their case, Garry was the victim; 85% of domestic violence victims are women! So.. there's is a unique case in deed!

Witnessing violence between one's parents is the strongest way of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next. That poor little baby, even with her young age knows exactly what is going on! It angers me so much to see this on television! On the one hand, it is necessary that people see this so that they become more aware about this kind of unacceptable behavior and hopefully learn to avoid it before it's too late. Especially since domestic violence is one of the most chronically under reported crimes. Technically, without this show, this outrageous act might still be under covers. So it is a good thing that her behavior was revealed so that hopefully she can get help and stop! If not, worse case scenario: that baby will have to be taken away and moved to a safe home! (Although, I truly think this would be best, at least for now.)

I don't like judging other people. Especially since I am a strong believer that people can change if they really want to. Also, our mistakes are what mold us into the person we are because they enable us to grow into a better more experienced person capable of making smarter decisions in the future! I know I am guilty of many mistakes. I am no angel by any means. But nobody is perfect! The key is to learn from mistakes and move on!! Not continue on the wrongful path...!

However, actually airing such a strong content on television is still inappropriate. I wouldn't want my children watching that! (If I had any...) It is not the right way of letting the message through. Not for Amber's family, who must be extremely ashamed and hurt by this process, and not for Garry's end of the family as well.

In all honesty, to a certain point, I can explain her behavior but in no way will I condone it! Amber is unhappy and even depressed with her life. Being a mom at such a young age, she was unable to get her high school diploma. She is also frustrated with her unhappy relationship that she feels forced to continue. So, she takes her anger out on the one person closest to her, Garry. And Garry, on the other hand, accepts this awful treatment... so it becomes a vicious cycle! In my opinion, Garry suffers from serious self esteem issues, which is why he chooses to stay in such an unhealthy relationship. Unless both of them get help individually and as a couple, I doubt that anything will change. Which is why, meanwhile poor little Liah should be in the care of a fit custodian.

However, I have unfortunately read that because Teen mom is in deed a reality T.V. show, the factor of "unreality" associated with reality shows might render the case unsuccessfully closed! I think that this is ridiculous! I highly doubt that MTV would pay anyone to curse in public much less hit someone! Unless they wanted to be sued for enormous amounts of money! Well...Either way, I hope that this case can be resolved favorably in baby Leah's  favor, the real victim in all this! After all, her future is the one in stake here, no one else's!
