Against the grain

First off, let me introduce myself. I am the mother of three awesome college kids, one who is graduating in May. I am in college and will finally get my Bachelor's degree in May. My husband is in college and working on his degree. Our house is usually a mess, as is our diet since eating on the go isn't the best for someone in their 40's and sleep is a commodity around here with deadlines and full time work. I work in the medical field and hope to be a Physician's Assistant someday. I had all three of my kids by the age of 20 and am still married to their dad 24 years later. It was a hard life at first, but it can be done. It makes me sick that people are entertained by watching teen moms on reality television self implode. Kids that age aren't prepared for making their family famous, and we just watch to see them fail. What a great disservice to these kids. How about someone helping that has been there and has answers to questtions they have or a shoulder when they need someone to just listen? I don't understand the need for programming that thrives on failure. How about life-saving encouragement and help??!
