I'm sure it will, but maybe NOT for the reason's intended. I was pregnant at 16 and now maybe I'd be considered 'old' but I think this PSA is v. patronising and embarrassingly cringy, and I'm pretty sure at 16 I would have found this even more patronising and cringy!KittyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507339134059891567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293855199406467723.post-5713921286598677162010-12-08T09:55:03.057-08:002010-12-08T09:55:03.057-08:00@Daunasia - They are aiming at youth to ask them t...@Daunasia - They are aiming at youth to ask them to engage in abstinence and/or safe sex. I consider myself in the "youth" category and I gave birth to my daughter when I was a teenager, so I feel I have every right to voice my opinion regarding this PSA. And I appreciated all of the comments from my readers, and we do not know what group they are part of, and I know that many of my readers are in the age group that this PSA is aimed at. Yes people may watch this more than once. But its not because they are going to pause before they play, its so they can laugh at it.Alexandra Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757839708628559651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293855199406467723.post-35183653920016394682010-12-08T09:48:41.685-08:002010-12-08T09:48:41.685-08:00Just wondering, are any of you actual teens?

Young people watch Jersey Shore and many can relate to Bristol's conservative background. Before you say it's ineffective, think about how many people won't change the channel just to see what those two have to say. I personally don't "like" either of them but as a youth, I see their appeal to get young people to pay attention. I can assure you that more than half the young people who have watched and rewatched that PSA wouldn't have if some random adult was sending the message. My point? Don't assume you know what's best for a group you aren't a part of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293855199406467723.post-71897397321425836852010-12-08T06:35:15.145-08:002010-12-08T06:35:15.145-08:00Honestly, WHO thought this would be a good idea?! ...Honestly, WHO thought this would be a good idea?! I mean COME ON PEOPLE!<br />@YUMMama- Totally agree. Bristol needs to own the fact that she was a teen mom. Its not something to be ashamed of.<br />@Janelle - I'm horrified right there with you.<br />@Andrea - Both her dancing and acting are HORRENDOUS. But what I dont understand is that they both seem to have a fan base, people seem to like them. From what I hear Bristol is/was getting alot of votes on DWTS. And Jersey Shore seems to have this cult following. But, WHY?! Why dont we support people who are trying to make the world a better place!<br />@TheBabyMamaChronicles - Aww thanks! Idk @ being a role model, but I do work damn hard to create a nice life for my daughter. <br />@Mrs.K - Thank You! I'll go over and visit!<br />@Ro - Right!!!! LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AWFUL-NESS! SMH, SMH, SMH! Ha, a PSA?!

I wish whoever is in Bristol camps advising her on what PR to do- would just quit. She's turning herself into a punchline. and as for MIKE.. 'no comment, steps off soapbox, turns off mic" not even worth the time.

Both the real situation at hand and Mike Sorrentino! Lol! And I now don't know what's worse, Bristol's dancing or her acting!I agree with you, they don't make it clear that Bristol is a teen mom. She mentions that she's not going to get into a situation "again," but it seems like they have her stressing the "I don't have sex" message rather than "I don't have sex anymore...and here's why." That would've been a much more powerful message. They are completely insulting the intelligence of teens everywhere with this wack PSA.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808108674007515148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293855199406467723.post-21881087048707712992010-12-07T07:23:25.718-08:002010-12-07T07:23:25.718-08:00OMG this is disgusting.

Seriously...OMG this is disgusting. I am horrified. <br />Seriously is this the best they could have done? I think not. I get they were trying to be clever, but it is just tacky. I don't see anything in watching this but a joke. Crawls my skin.

I do agree that having Mike on the PSA was a little bit pointless because all he did on the Jersey Shore was treat women like whores. You can't ask teens to look up to somebody like that.<br /><br />And I think that people need to stop trying to portray Bristol as not having kids in these PSAs. It would be more realistic if she did PSAs acknowledging that she's a teen mom and talking about how she should have waited. Teens don't react to that do as I say and not as I do stuff. They want you to keep it real with them and let them know your struggle.K. Elizabeth @ YUMMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025555107482553344noreply@blogger.com
