Maury Show

I was reading my brother's blog when I came across some youtube links. Being the naturally inquisitive person that I am, I logged on to the youtube website and started searching for Maury Show.

This show is a series helping people who faced problems. I haven't seen much, but what I have seen struck deep in my core. 2 clips especially strickened me.

First, there was this 15 yr old teenager who was adamant about having a baby. Her mother did not know about her daughter's promiscuous behaviour until one day, she caught her daughter having sex in her(mother's) room. This first time her mother caught her, she stopped her acts after her mother screamed at her. However, this audacious teenage was caught by her mother twice following the incident in her mother's bedroom. And each time, she just ignored her mother's pleas for her to stop, continued with her act of trying to procreate. At her tender age of 15, she has had sex with at least 15 men, no less than 300 times. During the show, she admitted to her mother that she has sex in public places for almost 100 times. The rumor her mother heard about a student having sex in the school's toilet was her. The amazing thing is, she does not feel that she has done anything wrong. To her, having sex is a mean of her getting a baby and being a player as she think she is, helps her to achieve her goal. Imagine her mother's torment when she heard that her daughter is still utterly unapologetic about her totally wrong mentality and behaviour! I feel for the mother, she must really be at a loss of what to do for her teenage daughter..

The next clip that I watched was about these 4 teenage girls selling their bodies for money. The youngest of them was a 13 yr old! The positive thing is that all these 4 girls realised their mistakes, and have since decided to go back to their family for help.

Brought up in the type of family that I have, I have never known that such things do happen. My parents always tell us how much they love us and their actions also tell it all. There was never a doubt that we love each other. There was also hardly anything that we won't tell each other. Thus, it really came as a shock that teenagers are so wilful as to openly oppose their parents at the expense of themselves. All parents love their children, they might just have different ways of expressing. I'm sure that these problematic children are merely trying to gain attention by doing different things to hurt their parents. While we might quarrel or fight (not literally!) with our parents, we must always remember that they do really love us alot! Even if we are caught up in our destructive anger, we mustn't let this anger blind our parents' love for us. Even if we are of opposing views.
