Unbelievable Media.

Before I start the stories of other people, I wanted to talk about something that is currently in the news.  Jenelle Evans from the MTV hit show “Teen Mom 2” was recorded as she punched a girl repeatedly and pinned her to the ground.  While watching the video, you can hear all of Jenelle’s friends encouraging her as she beats this girl.  This is a girl that kids watch on TV probably every week on this show, and now this video is all over the internet to see, yet it is okay.

This is so extremely frustrating to me.  How can people expect children not to resort to violence and how can we tell them it is wrong when it is so highlighted within the media.  Not just this video either.  You can go on YouTube or any other video site and see people having a brawl and many times people are standing around and watching. Bullies do not come by themselves.  They will always have a crowd behind them.  All it takes is that crowd to go away, or for one person to jump in and stop what is going on or to get help and all of the power of that bully goes away.  But, so many people are so worried about themselves that they don’t think about that, all they think is that if they try stopping it, then they are the next target.  WAKE UP! If you don’t stop it and you think someone else will, nothing will ever change!  Those people who are beating the hell out of someone will never stop because they know that they have so much power over everyone.

Think about something. These kids or teenagers being beat up could be someone’s child, grandchild, niece/nephew, mother/father, cousin, etc.  Now, think about this, all of you out there who think this is entertainment, if it was your child, or any other family member, how funny would it be then?
