Teen Mom ... good until "Dr" Drew got involved

Overall, I applaud MTV for the series 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. I feel that the shows have shown a realistic picture of what teenage pregnancy is like. It has not been glamorized or romanticized. It has shown some young people that have been strong and responsible.

I was looking forward to watching the finale special. I was hoping to see the girls still working hard, loving their children, and working to have healthy relationships. The show was scarred, however, by Dr. Drew and his horrendous advice to young mother Maci.

Throughout the season, Maci completely devoted herself to her son Bentley. She tried and tried to draw in Bentley's father Ryan, even getting back together with him because she thought it might be better for her son. Sadly, Ryan never showed an interest in having a relationship with Bentley and it broke Maci's heart to see it. Finally she broke up with Ryan to give her son the kind of life that he deserves.

On the reunion show, Dr. Drew told Maci that men were different and that Ryan was somehow excused from being disinterested in his child because of the penis that hangs between his legs. I am absolutely disgusted with this and I pray that Maci will get some better advice - truthful information - from another source. Interestingly enough, Dr. Drew was quickly proved wrong on his own show when father Gary talked about the physical pain that he felt when he and Amber were broken up and he couldn't see his daughter Leah as often. I could sit here all day long and list men that I know that prove "Dr" Drew wrong ... among them, my own father. I would love to have this buffoon try to tell me that my father loved me less than my mother does - I'd tear the mo-fo apart.

Bottom line, we need to give both our young girls and our young men more. Don't tell fathers that they don't have the capability to love their children as much as a mother does - this slaps the face of every loving, caring, committed, devoted father out there. Don't tell mothers that they should accept anything less than a man that puts his family before himself. Let's stop perpetuating the idea that men should walk away from their children.
