First off, calm down. Jeanette is a person who chose to put her life on television so my speculations on her are directed ONLY to her. Not your mom, your half sisters, your long lost cousins or your highschool homeroom teachers. I dont think i should have to defend my post but i will because its a shame that people can be offended by words clearly pointed at TV's Jeanette.
<<< Okay Dorkweed you made a lot of great comments except one. When you start generalizing that anyone who was 19 and becomes a parent is a slut I have to take exception to that. I think you need to keep your analysis to the facts and not apply your bigoted attitude to the situation.>>>
<<<yeah... I guess my mom is a tramp and a slut because she had my sister when she was 19 -- never mind that she already was an university graduate and had married my father the previous year.
You (Dorkweed, whatever the name is) probably said that because you were so immature at 19 that it was inconceivable to you, but there are others who are quite mature for their age and know what they are doing (like my mom who went to university at 16).>>>
Ares, pepelepew and whoever else is offended.
You just answered your own angry comments with your parents story. Your parents were married and in love and had a child. That is fine. Is jeanettes story different? YES! Jeanette wasnt a rape victime because she had a relationship with the father of the kid (who split by the time the kid was born). The father of her baby didnt care and he was a deadbeat dad. She had the kid and raised him alone as a single mom for the kids whole life. So the only speculated guesses we can make on her life at that age is that she was in a relationship with someone that obviously didnt care about her or what happens, but still had a kid with him. That is a direct result of stupidity and is very much unlike your parents.
Now in that situation is it 100% the guys fault when she gets pregnant? NO! It is 50% the girls too because sex is a mutual action so single moms shouldnt be viewed as martyrs and victims. They are people whose lack of thinking created a terrible result. We all can agree that stupid mistakes in our jobs or school are not rewarded and do not entitle you to special benefits. Having a baby as a result of stupidity is a differnt story. They are rewarded by recieving more breaks and special treatment than those that are smart enough to not have a baby.
Now i hope you guys can stop being so defensive about what your parents did at 19 because im not talking about them. Im talking about jeanette.
Please tell me if you dont understand the difference because im not here to offend people that i dont know. (but i do have the right as a viewer to judge the lifestyle of someone who chooses to put her life on television. dont confuse the two).
