It's always interesting to think how my life could be different if I made one choice over another. Generally these decisions are related to my choice to be a profitable English and journalism double-major, but some Tuesday nights I wonder what would've happened if I was a teen parent.
Watching the original teen moms on MTV reminds me of how different my life could be. And it kind of scares me, but in a lot of ways their lives are better than mine. For instance, most of the girls cannot attract a guy for the life of them. I don't even have baby arm candy and I still scare men away. Some of them still even get dates or hold down relatively attractive boyfriends from time to time.
And, on tonight's season premiere Farrah gets plastic surgery (with what I'm assuming is MTV money). I am currently struggling living paycheck to paycheck without body enhancement. Lesson learned: if I would've had a child at 16, I could be modeling and get new boobs.
On top of this, Maci has one hot baby daddy who is apparently jealous over her current boyfriend because he has the nerve to ask Maci if Kyle (current bf) is "slow." I don't think two boys have ever fought over me at the same time, even if one is thought to be, er, um slightly dumber.
So end result: I'm not sure what the message MTV is really trying to advocate with Teen Mom, but right now as I'm tired from my ten hour day at work, dreading the alarm clark blaring in approximately six hours, and really wishing I could have a boob job right about now... having a baby at 16 does have its perks. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
