Critics Accuse 'Teen Mom 2' Star Of Abusing 3-Month-Old Son

Evans was honored on the Director of Education's List for having higher than a 3.5 GPA. Considering her past with addiction and domestic violence, she's certainly come a long way. However, the MTV star has always been one to speak her mind, and when critics online mocked the certificate she refused to stay out of it. In fact, it only took Evans ten minutes to get fired up and write back.

Evans went on to note that her decision to go back to school isn't a joke. She's serious about providing for her children and her journey should be viewed as inspiration rather than a punchline.

Both Evans and her boyfriend Nathan Griffith are back in school this year, perhaps trying to set an example for their three-month-old son, Kaiser. Evans is also looking to regain custody of five-year-old Jace, who has been living with his grandmother for most of his young life.
