My Super Sweet 16
My (Not So Super) Sweet Sixteen
I was deeply upset the other day when I came across a marathon on MTV of none other than, My Super Sweet Sixteen. This show makes me do nothing but fear for our society. It is one of those scenarios that is similar to watching a train crash, you don't want to watch it, but for some reason you just have to watch and see what these ridiculously spoiled people have to say. I don't find watching prissy, wealthy teenagers prance around and complain about how they don't get everything they want very exciting. They want so badly for everyone to envy them, when in reality, people are just sitting back and laughing at how bizarre their actions are. Even worse yet, the younger audience may actually be looking up to these fools. Scary. This show is a true point of how money can get to people's heads. Everyone should take this as a lesson learned on how that sweet green maybe isn't so sweet. I for one, value my actions and behaviors towards people more than getting "that perfect dress" or "that Mercedes car". I would truly be embarrassed if someone saw me on television screaming at my mother or father, and just being a brat. Why anyone wants that on cable of themselves is beyond me. I think it's horrible that people are idolizing this garbage, and I hope the media soon realizes that shows like this need to get taken off of the air very quickly.
