sweet sixteen

so i have been sick for a week now - horrible cough that keeps me up all night. well this morning at 5am i went down to lay on the couch bc my cough was so loud and i just turned on the tv and stared at it in a zombie like fashion. i was so disturbed by what i saw. i came across this show called sweet sixteen on mtv. i think i have seen it before but it was a marathon this morning. what is wrong with these parents? it is just sick. sad.
