'16 and Pregnant' Finale Special Recap: Kristina Is Moving WAY Too Fast

by Sasha Brown-Worsham on June 5, 2012 at 11:49 PM

This season of 16 and Pregnant was one of the most heart wrenching and the worst of the girls was Kristina, the one whose fiance died after being swept out to sea in an undertow.

It was a nightmare story and anyone would love to see her happy. But she is engaged again. Just a few months after her fiance was killed! Apparently that has put her on bad terms with his family (his brother was married to her aunt) and who could blame them?

She is engaged again just months after losing her fiance and having a baby. It seems way too fast. She is not the only one, either.

There were Briana and Sara, the single moms and then there were the other ones who are still with their baby daddies. Worst of all, perhaps was Alex, whose baby daddy is a drug addict (as we saw clearly on the show) and could not even come on the show because of a "legal issue."

Who even knows what that is, but one thing is clear: Count on being a single mom if you get knocked up at 16 and go from there. Don't make your decisions with a boy in mind because chances are, he will leave.

It is depressing and disheartening to see girls like this. In my life, the only young girls I know are educated, driven and ambitious. If they were pregnant at 16, they would not choose to have it.

So it is a different glimpse into a different kind of life for me. I don't understand it. I don't get how any girl could choose to alter her life at such a young age. As a mom, I know how hard it is and I can't imagine having done it any younger than I did at 28. And where I am from, 28 is very young to be a mom.

If any of these girls were my daughter, I would want them to think long and hard before choosing to have a baby with a teenage boy. It is sad and depressing and no matter how much we say, "not every girl is a statistic," we also know the statistics don't lie. These girls have an uphill battle. And they could have avoided the whole thing so easily.

Do you think Kristina should be engaged?

I think she just wants to be happy and nobody can judge her situation unless their in it. If this is a way to move forward and not mourn and be the bet mother that he can be than so be it there's not a time stamp on when u can or can't fall in love!

I just think she's looking for someone to help her through this, even if she isn't doing it consciously. After Todd passed away, she was missing something and this guy probably feels like the missing something.

First of all not all teens moms are bad parents. And I'm sorry but I think its a personal decision to keep the baby or not. I speak from experience, I was a teen mom, I had my son at 17. Yes it has been hard but I don't regret having him. If my mom would have tried to make me give him up or have an abortion it would have been war. My mom did not get to make the decision about my kid. As.a parent you are suppose to teach them right from wrong, and hope you raised them right. Also suppose to support them with the decisions they make.

I had my first child when I was 18 and it was hard then, but I would never say someone should give up their baby just cus their age... They were old enough to conceive the baby, so they need to grow up and take care of that little life.

I believe that she is already going thru a tuff time and blogs like this doesn't help her stress! Worse business is it if she wants to get married?? It will be a lot easier on her and the child to have a stable man in their lives to help them financially and emotionally. Oviously the man is dead for God sakes.. he isn't comin back.. she has apparently accept tht and is ready to move forward with her life. Nothing wrong with tht. Love has no time limit.

This is very judgemental. it doesnt matter how old you are when you have a baby its always going to be hard. And its not just teenage boys that leave when they knock someone up grown men do it to.and to me its nobodies desion what any girl or grown womaan does with their lives but their own. People make mistakes but you got to make them to learn from them. And me personally i couldnt get with another guy if the man i was going to marry died for a very long time but everybody works in different ways and needs to make their own choices. If we did everything that everybody told us to do then how would we learn. Plus she wasnt the only one that lost Todd her baby lost him to so maybe she was wanting her baby to have a father figure and like she said her baby will know who his real dad was. There's nothing anybody can do about Todd be gone and when I watch her story i cried so hard because it was really sad but her baby needs a man in his life. So before u go judging her for getting engaged again so soon walk 10 mile in her shoes and see if u wouldnt want ur baby to have a father figure in its life!

This actually made me very angry. You disguised your personal opinion on teen pregnancy by beginning and ending the article with the choice of moving on after death- making people think that that is what the article is about, when it most definitely is NOT. The topic of teen pregnancy and choosing when to move on are two completely different topics. This article was VERY offensive to the teen mothers that strive every day to raise their children and click on this article thinking they will get a recap on a show, only to find you saying " Your child could have been avoided. I know SMART girls with futures that would just choose not to have it.
