and proven for some shows that these "reality" shows are scripted. The show Buckwild premiered last year and it told the story of friends living in West Virginia living up the southern way of life. This show took you through the group going mudding and doing other rigged up activities. However just as much as they were having fun, they were also out and partying. I did watch this show through the first season, however not long after the last episode, one girl was arrested for possession another died as a result of driving drunk and several others are unable to hold jobs! Is this really what we want portrayed as our type of living? I know i don't want everyone in the country thinking i live my life based around drugs, alcohol, and partying. Not only are these acts made to look tolerable they are made as acceptable in the shows. Sex is also another factor of the shows not many people look at. On shows like the Jersey Shore some of the guys will come back with a different girl every night. Is that what you want your kids looking at and thinking they can do with no consequences? Simply put life has consequences to your actions and reality shows do not make that fact present to their viewers. Not only are these shows blinding people of the truth they are stripping our young people of life lessons they need to learn.
