Article: Teen pregnancy is romantic? Dramas and varieties foster dangerous fantasies
Source: Seoul News via Nate
1. [+3,978, -154] The variety show about high school mothers and fathers is gross
2. [+3,671, -129] That variety show is the worst, it’s pathetic and embarrassing to watch teen couples fighting over their pregnancy
3. [+3,190, -91] All these makjang varieties can influence teens to act without caution!!!
4. [+293, -4] Instead of showing what these teens go through before giving birth, they should show the realities of what happens after birth. Even full grown adults make plans after plans before choosing to get pregnant and even they still can’t properly plan for the variables after birth. There’s no method that promises 100% protection so adult couples use protection on top of protection… and yet to watch these high school students cause a problem and claim it’s not a mistake without understanding how difficult it is to raise a child.. It really broke my heart to see how realistic the reactions of their fathers are, it made me tear up..
5. [+231, -7] Reality is that teen pregnancies will f*ck your life up
6. [+222, -11] I don’t get the point of these shows. Are you encouraging teens to get pregnant? Why are these teens even being given platforms to brag about pissing out babies when they should be studying? This is probably the #1 variety show that needs to be taken off air.
7. [+172, -9] I’m fine with dramas having teen pregnancy storylines because it’s just a depiction of some of the stories that happen in real life… but I really don’t know what the point of the variety show is
8. [+106, -4] Makes me wonder if all these shows are some scheme to push marriage and births on teens because the birth rate is already hopeless with 20s/30s
9. [+92, -7] I actually think the drama is portraying it in a realistic way with how hard their parents are taking it, though we don’t know what the ending will be like yet.
10. [+86, -3] It makes me laugh to watch teens talk about “responsibility” when there’s no way they’re at an appropriate age to be responsible for anything. They basically force their parents into raising their baby only to end up pregnant again with a second… it’s pathetic…
