I love watching this show. I'm really interested in it because I was a young mother myself. I think it encourages young teenagers to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Some people I know hate this show. They say they don't see the point of...

Amber @AmbiePam (120883) • United States 14 Oct 10

Have you noticed that lack of personal responsibility people seem to have these days? One thing my parents taught me was to take responsibility for my actions. If I didn't obey the teacher and got in trouble, that was my own...

I don't mean not liking kids in general but when there is one in particular that you don't like because they aren't nice to be around. You can't say "don't bring THAT kid, but the other one is okay" to their parents. Well, I...

Spoiled in every sense of the word?

hvedra @hvedra (1619) 4 May 10
