The characters.


In 15 and Pregnant, my favorite character was the grandmother, because she gave very excellent advice to the other family members. I did not agree with everything she said, though: She suggested that the parents give Tina's baby away for adoption, because she thought the parents were not properly equipped to take care of the baby. I disagreed with that, because I felt that the grandmother gave them very little credit and felt that the parents were very well capable of handling the baby just as they had done with three other children.

I in no way condone Rachel's behavior throughout the film, and I do not deny that she acted very bratty; I do not condone how rudely and aggressively she chewed out her parents, but I respected her feelings and agreed with some of the things she said about them and Tina. Tina was very selfish, and I felt the parents spoiled her too much. I felt that Rachel was neglected by her parents. She was not entirely neglected, of course, but I felt that she didn't receive an adequate amount of attention from them, and that she did not stand a chance of receiving their attention once Tina got pregnant.

The dad. All the other characters annoyed the bleep out of me. I Tine was so annoying and spoiled and Rachel was overly moody - they were both complete brats (IMO). Although Rachel definately wasn't fat. Why did that kid Adam keep saying "AALLL righty then"?

you know. NOT everyone felt that way. Rachel to me was a spoiled brat. Yea Tina was too, even more so. But Rachel was a nightmare on her own. I dont like kids that "Preach" to me. If I wanted to hear about how I was going to hell all the time, I'd go to church.

An also when the mum/mom goes to Tina "I'm so glad that your sticking by your friend at a time like this" and then Rachel stomped out of the room. Spoilt or what? =P

The "cheesy looking" redhead lol I love when Tina says she never wants to see her boyfriend again and the skanky redhead scoffs and says, "That won't be a problem" Ohhhh...face! She looked like a female Malachai from "Children of the Corn"

Meanwhile, I thought the grandmother spoke the truth, but was also kind of two-faced. In one scene she says that the other daughter was "stuffing her feelings down with carbohydrates" and that Tina was the least screwed up in the whole family, and in the very next scene she talks with the other daughter and tells her to go home because they'll need her good sense around. WTF?
