My thoughts- Personaly, I do not think reality tv shows are rubbish. Some are pretty good, and also educational. I enjoy most of them. There are some good counter arguments though. Like how stupid they can make very smart people look. Like on The Real World, there was a guy on the show, and his girlfriend was also on the show. All the girls in the house wanted to search his name on Google, and they found out that when he was younger, he did gay porn. Then his girlfriend left him. Also, There was a girl and a guy that were "sleeping" together. She thought she had some kind of STI. She also thought she was pregnant. Shows like this make young people look stupid, and girls look like, well, excuse my language, but whores. I don't think shows like these should be on TV. Even though I like Jersey Shore, I still think some of things are inappropriate.

Yes, I will be honest, I do like, and watch reality TV shows. That doesn’t make them alright though. Most shows absolutely pointless, and have no meaning. Like 'Jersey Shore' and 'The Real World' are honestly the most pointless shows on TV. I don't understand why people would want to go on TV, and look like idiots. Being as tan as a piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and drink until they can even stand up, to me, that is NOT how real people live. 'Real' people have nice families, and get jobs. They work for a living and pay bills. I guess that it kind of their "job" but I think getting a good education, and having a loving happy family is way more important then "getting it in" with ever girl/guy they see. I also don’t think people should look up to people like the ‘every second, need to be tanning’ girls on Jersey Shore. They aren’t very good role models. I have no idea how bad being on these kind of shows will reflect on everything else they ever do. If any of them ever try and get an education, and a real job, it would be very hard. Also, it would have a major impact on their family (if they decide to have one). Going to school would be a big problem, and also once they become teens, your in for a real trip. Every time they ask to go out, or do something, they will always have something on you. Like, say they ask to go to a party, and you said no. They could easily just say, "well you partied ever night when you were younger, why can't I?" And if they were girls, they would pull a big dramatic fit. How would you be able to top that?

I DO think reality TV is rubbish. I think it is a way for people make themselves look like total fools. It Makes their parents and family embarrassed. Could you imagine watching your son or daughter acting like an idiot on TV? Watch them drink beyond their limits? Have sex with random men or women that they meet at the club? I don't know about you, but I would not be very impressed. Shows like Teen Mom, and 16 and Pregnant are shows that show teens that have, or are having babies, and how they deal with that huge change in their lives. So it is pretty much just watching young girls and boys throw their life away, because for some reason, it way way too much work to put a condom on, or use birth control. I don't know why and teenager would want to waste all their high school years looking after a child. I sure wouldn't.

I really do think most reality TV shows ARE rubbish, but I do love to watch them. It is okay to watch the bad kind every once and a while, but I don't think people should start living by them. I don't think people should see those kind of people as role models. I was watching a show called 'Maury' (another reality TV show) and there was a 14 year old girl on it and she had done every drug you could imagine. She really wanted to have a baby, and she already had a pimp. Maury asked her who her role models were, and of course she said " SNOOKIE". No one was shocked at that too. How would that make you feel if some little girl say that, and people scream and yell "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" I would feel horrible.
