So… do stars like LC and the cast of Real World worry about an unplanned pregnancy or getting an STD? I am just wondering because just like any other person, they face the same risks and dangers as anyone else who is sexually active. Reality TV is often not so real, but part of the popularity of those shows is that many of the people on them go through one relationship after another. Just because the glamour of Hollywood is in their faces 24/7, doesn’t mean that the contestants that make ‘Newport Harbor’ look fabulous are not putting themselves at risk for the physical, emotional, mental and social consequences of sex outside of marriage… I spend a lot of time talking to teens about how we need to separate the media from reality, but how can we do that with shows that are supposedly real?! It would probably be easy to get caught up in the glitz and popularity of being on TV, but the only real thing about these shows is that many of the cast members are taking a chance at facing some harsh realities that are not so glamorous.
