Honey Boo Boo

Usually, the return of a popular reality show is cause for excitement.

But every time a new season of Mama June: From Not to Hot is at hand, we get more than a little anxious.

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is a 15-year-old high school student.

Recently, big sister Lauryn recently affirmed that Alana is still living with her while Mama June's recovery journey continues.

Mama June: From Not To Hot star Alana Thompson doesn't hesitate to hype herself up on social media.

But the truth is that she has been through an ordeal for these past two years.

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is embarking up on her very own weight loss journey and is known to hype herself up on social media.

But when she brags about how haters can't stop her from making money, some are questioning if Alana is being very tasteful.

Alana Thompson appears to be learning from her mother.

But is that really a good thing?

Recently, June Shannon teased her return to reality television, saying that the whole family is filming.

Alana is showing off her new look, and revealing that she is embarking upon a fitness journey.

After Lauryn Shannon and Alana Thompson had to relocate to avoid the shady stalkers after Mama June, Alana was looking forward to returning home.

But on the latest Mama June: Family Crisis, the family discovered that June had sold and abandoned her house. Alana can never return.

On the premiere of From Not To Hot: Family Crisis, Mama June Shannon's entire family was in shambles.

Filmed in the aftermath of June and Geno's arrest, viewers saw young Alana despair that she would never get her mom back.

Although June Shannon and Geno Doak claim that they're getting sober and working on their well-being, they're still being spotted at casinos.

Now, her daughter Lauryn is being honest: she thinks that Mama June won't get her act straight until she goes to jail.

Folks, we may have been duped.

For the past several months, we've been hearing from one source after another that June Shannon is broke... and desperate... and has totally left her kids behind for her awful boyfriend, Geno Doak.

Last year, Lauryn Shannon began acting as a "sister-mom" to her teenage sister, Alana. Honey Boo Boo could no longer live with her mother.

Lauryn's birthday was this week, and Mama June's sister is praising her for taking in her sister and shouldering so much during this scary time.

This year, June Shannon has been in such bad shape that Alana Thompson couldn't bear to live with her own mother -- it just wasn't safe.

While attorneys protected Alana's money from her mom, Alana's sister Lauryn took her in.

Mama June Shannon is selling off all of her belongings and even her damaged house so she can live in an RV with Geno Doak.

Fortunately, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson isn't there to see it. She's living with her big sister, where it's safe.

Earlier this week, we reported on the surprising news that the reality star who was introduced to the world as Honey Boo Boo has started high school.

Now, it seems 13-year-old Alana Thompson might be growing up even faster than we thought -- and not in a good way.
