Icl I watched and still watch a lot of teen/young mum content because I’ve always had very bad baby fever and I’m fascinated with the idea of someone my age or younger having a child. There’s usually no judgement unless I see them behaving immaturely but I’m the same with older parents too.
Truth is I wouldn’t mind being a young parent and my bf is very involved but my parents would kick me out (they don’t even allow relationships though I’m an adult) and most importantly I’m not in the right place financially in an expensive country and that’s what I prioritise most. If I got pregnant young I’d have no choice but to hide it and work double/triple hours and save for when I eventually get thrown out. I’d also get married 😂 I’ve had scares before at 17/18 and back then I didn’t care but now I do 😂😂
when i was in 8th grade a girl in my grade got pregnant by her 16 year old bf, it legit brought so much drama to school and i kinda felt bad for her even though she is a good mom buy like that’s sad. and during our 8th grade graduation she was about to pop and when i tell you all the parents jaws dropped seeing wobble across the stage
Being a guy I can only speak from experience but my sister became pregnant at the age of 16 in the height of the 16 and Pregnant media era. One of her favorite movies with her friends to watch was the movie 13 which is a topic definitely to be discussed for another video for sure. So hard for me to say personally if it was a coincidence but it definitely happened and I love my nephew so it's all good.
I think watching Teen Mom DID help me realize how being a mother could change your life in (horrible) ways, lol. Love it when you upload, please do it more often:)
all i know is that the current generation and even tho im not part of it cause i was born in 97 I believe we do not want to have children mainly because the world economy and because it is currently really hard to become independent and that already prevent us from making “bad” decisions
I honestly remember when I was a tween and seeing “Teen Mom” shows on cable and all that…it definitely made me turn away from wanting that lifestyle….but at the same time I really do not agree with how the show producers gave 0 f*cks on the matter
I come from generations of teen parents because literally no one in my family ever talked about sex, so when I was a teenager my mother still did not have a sex talk with me but instead showed me as much teen pregnancy media as possible as cautionary tales lol which ultimately worked in my case
I had gotten pregnant in early 2008 when I was 18. It was like everyone I knew was pregnant, Girls I went to school with, my sister, my sisters husbands sister, my sister in law 😂😂EVERYONE
Its so weird to me how these movies and shows sorta glance over How they got pregnant or what circumstance there was to get pregnant. Like, it’s always a consensual encounter where the onus is placed in the girl in that situation. Precious feels like the reality of teen pregnancy, that it can often exist among more vulnerable groups and as a result of abuse rather than some moral oopsie.
SO IT WASNT JUST ME?? I just thought maybe I remembered mainly pregnancy movies but nooo, it was a boom, also I feel as if there were more? Aside from that, God I loved Juno, but dang did that movie hurt at the same time. It definitely didn't make me want to have a baby
When I was freshly 20 I had to have my boyfriend drive me to the ER at 1 in the morning because of a pain in my side that made it excruciating to move. I thought my appendix was bursting.
I had called my mom, who called my great grandma and told her, and suddenly my 80 year old great grandma is at the door of my room in the ER.
Side note: I had been in and out of consciousness after they gave me pain meds, and when I saw her through the window I thought it was my great-great grandma that had died when I was little, so I thought I was dead for a good few seconds.
She makes my boyfriend leave and the sits next to my bed, takes my hand, and asks me if it could be an ectopic pregnancy. We had watched I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant together a lot when it was airing, and she was convinced that I was going to die. I assured her that wasn't the case, but she talked to a nurse and asked them to give me an ultrasound anyway.
It wasn't an ectopic pregnancy, but the ultrasound did help them find what was wrong, a huge cyst on my right ovary.
I am one of the people who watched Precious only once.
Many times I thought about watching it again but the absolute heartbreak that movie is just destroys me. An amazing movie with amazing acting and dialogue and honestly everyone is amazing there.
The sims 3 runaway teen challenge was hugeee during this time, I remember doing the challenge in the game myself – even today, people are still doing the challenge out of nostalgia for it. The 100 baby challenge was even more popular, so the craze around massive families was definitely something that people obsessed over during that time. With the runaway teen challenge in the sims, I think you have to get your sim pregnant, use cheats to take away all their money and make them live alone on an empty lot and try to keep the baby from getting taken away by child services lmfao. I was repulsed by the idea of having kids as a young teen and still am but still wanted to live out the teen pregnancy hype because everyone thought it was so cool. Like you mentioned, I think it’s because of the whole taboo thing, like we love to indulge in and gossip about things that are different and uncomfortable. I think the whole teen pregnancy thing was such a huge phenomenon in America because Americans are so fucking weird when it comes to sex. The media loves sex but the large Christian conservative population is terrified by the concept of teens doing it, but they love to make drama out of it and that’s what garnered so much hype over teens having sex and having crotch goblins.
I'm suprised you didn't mention we were in a recession at the time. Add that to the fact that teen pregnancy was actually on the decline I feel like the media was intended to jumpstart the birth rate. Capitalism thrives on having impoverished workers and children born to children are always at a higher risk of growing up in poverty.
Happy Milaween everyone!!! Hope you enjoy!
Jumpscare warning for when my video glitches around 12:20 😧😧
Always love your videos since you focus on such a scandalous era in pop culture.
See you in another 5-6 months girrrrrrrrrrrrl

I totally remember watching the weird sims videos on YouTube with emo music in background lol

Whenever I watch hocus pocus I think of the pregnancy pact because I always remember Danny plays the reporter😂😂😂
The amount of jokes I used to hear people make about the movie precious was crazy to me there’s absolutely nothing funny about that movie.
i think i know where my fear of pregnancy came from

Abortion is normal, ethical, and muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch safer than giving birth and everyone needs to understand that

Secret life of an American teenager had me in a chokehold for a while in middle school but then it started to make me so uncomfortable LOL
