Not your Average Teen Mom

Good evening from my couch,

I have managed to remove my sickly self from my bed and onto my couch for my obsession with Teen Mom. It is the only thing that kept me from falling asleep in my towel after I got out of the shower. If I didn't have school tomorrow, I would have skipped this bit, but I feel as though my fellow classmates would probably like me more if I didn't smell like I ate eight cans of shark sh**. Yes friends, that was a quote from The Longest Yard.

Before I dive back into the Bryant story, I would like to send a shout out to my friend Sarah. As you may or may not know, Sarah was a teen mom. She got pregnant with the sweetest most precious little girl named Kinley Brooke during our senior year of high school.

By the way, I would like to take some of the credit for this name, as I talked her out of Stella and and Gracelyn one day when we got kicked out of our health academy class for getting on Mrs. Gnann's nerves. Love you Gnanny! Best teacher ever!

All my Baker County freshman, please consider this program. I would not have had the high school experience I did had it not been for the health academy and I would not be the person I am today had it not been for Mrs. Gnann.

Anyways, back to Sarah, I am so proud of you. As I sit here and watch Teen Mom, I do so in disbelief and anger. These teen moms had the same struggle as you and yet, you are a shining example of how it should be. You have so much respect and pride for yourself as a mother. You don't accept handouts. Heck, you won't even ask Ma P to watch Kinley for a few hours while we go to the movies! You do what you want to do in the rare hours that you do not have Kinley on your own time, and you always put her first.

While these moms on this show are bouncing their babies back and forth between men and blatantly disrespecting their parents, you are raising Kinley right and bringing her up to be a girl of high means. These girls make excuses and blame their babies for not being able to go to school or being able to work, but you do both. This isn't just a MTV thing, I see some of the teen moms from our hometown and I just think wow, this is how Sarah could be. But you aren't, because you are awesome!

Also, shout out to Ma P for helping, even though you totally don't have to! KB would not be the same without your influence and love! Kinley, one day you may see this blog, I want you to know that Caraboo loves you very much. I remember the day I found out about you and it was a day that would forever change my friendship with your mother, a change for the better. You are so loved my little heart!

I felt this was necessary to tell before I dive into a very depressing ending to the Bryant story. You know, bring in a little sunshine before I turn on the storm. Also, I tend to talk about things that are currently going on, so as I was watching Teen Mom, my adoration for my friend came shining through.
