Typical Teenage Girl

I am definitely a television fanatic. I love to have a show that I am watching, but that doesn't mean that I come home everyday after school, pop-a-squat, and turn on the t.v. for a couple of hours. I usually only watch t.v. once I am finished with my necessary tasks, and I'm not the person to watch it daily. So why do I watch t.v.? I watch it because it's addicting! Once I get started on a show, I can't stop. I have to know what will come next. I know it seems superficial to say that, but I have fallen under the television spell. I could probably watch anything someone puts on, besides golf, and watch until the end of it. My favorite shows are Modern Family, Pretty Little Liars, Awkward, Glee, Criminal Minds, Revenge, and probably something else I just can't think of at the moment. Looking at this list, you are probably thinking, wow what a typical teenage girl, well you know what? I am a typical teenage girl. Is there anything wrong with that? Just because I like what people call "trashy t.v." doesn't mean that I am going to call these actors my role models. I just think its a funny form of entertainment for when I'm bored. The only thing I do not agree with is reality t.v. This kind of television is what I personally call "trashy t.v." Yes, I will say that Honey Boo Boo, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, or any other reality shows are funny to watch, but I think it is sad that our country is following around these people who are not doing anything productive with their lives, and the viewers are actually taking them seriously! Take the show Teen Mom, 15 years ago, if someone became pregnant at an early age, forgive me for using this phrase, but her "life would be over." Nowadays, girls around the world think it is great to become pregnant at 16. I think that the whole concept of reality t.v. is a bad idea, and its effecting society in the wrong way.
