Mama June’s family is going through a tough time. Anna, also known as “Chickadee,” is still battling cancer, while Alana, or “Honey Boo Boo,” is deciding whether to go to college.
On a recent episode of their show, Alana celebrated finishing high school with her family. She got a surprise gift of a car from her sister Lauryn and her husband Josh. Then, they had a party by the pool, where Alana got more gifts, including a shirt from a university in Colorado.
Alana wasn’t too happy about the college stuff, though. She felt pressured by her family to make a decision about her future. She got upset because she wanted to make her own choice.
Her family wanted what was best for her, but Alana wasn’t sure if she wanted to go to college in Colorado. Mama June thought she might want to stay in Georgia, especially with Anna’s cancer situation.
Lauryn disagreed. She thought Alana going to college somewhere new would be better than staying in Georgia and facing challenges like becoming a teen mom, which happened to some of their family members.
The debate about college made Alana storm off. Later, she and Anna told the family to leave her alone.
Meanwhile, Anna had to face some tough news about her cancer treatment. Doctors told Lauryn that Anna didn’t have much time left. Lauryn worried about taking care of Anna’s kids if she passed away, but Josh wasn’t keen on the idea.
He already had his hands full with their own kids and didn’t want more responsibility. Lauryn felt overwhelmed but didn’t know how to bring it up with Anna.
It’s a difficult time for the family as they deal with these challenges.
