16 and Pregnant Recap: Home Is Where the Hurt Is


By CathodeTube | | 6:00 am | 6 Comments

Oop! There’s Grandma, with a brief clip about how Iman can’t afford to be babysitting all day. So much is left unexplained. If Sabrina had it to do over again… wait for it… she wouldn’t have sex until she was older. Hmph.

CathodeTube has wanted to be a recapper ever since she read the MightyBigTV interview with Sars and James Van Der Beek. She lives in Chicago with her husband and baby son, and adores hip-hop, cop shows, competitive reality TV, and all foods involving melted cheese. She used to copyedit made-up blogs for the "reputation management" of people who got themselves on The Dirty or Mugshots.com. Turns out google-bombing doesn't work anymore, so now she writes product copy, is much happier, and still wears stretchy pants at all times.

    @CathodeTube You should get the inhuman sacrifice viewing prize for having to watch both of these episodes without fast forwarding through most of it.

    I kept getting the feeling that Rebecca and Iman had some kind of history that Sabrina doesn’t know about.

    I couldn’t get over how much that girl looks like Octomom…hopefully not a sign of things to come.

    I was also confused about the sister going to live with the mom. I thought she lived near the grandparents?

    T&T and Eden aside, this is the most tragic of the reality shows, and it breaks my heart to see these children having babies. It is a chain of events that could be broken only through education, and there isn’t much chance of that happening.

    Until recently we lived in rural northern Wisconsin where the level of poverty is appalling. An extended family live in a compound not far from our home. Among them are several 40 year old grandmothers and I’m sure at least one 60 year old great-grandmother. The graduation rate is abysmal.

    @snowshoecat I’m sorry to make it more depressing than you already know about but there’s Great MeeMaws in their late 30s to mid 40s.

    1 thing I’ve noticed on this show, except for the OG 16 and Pregnants, more of the girl’s moms than not had them as teen moms too.

    (Either that or these little back swamp towns that have to drive 50 miles to the walmart have got plastic surgeons with super powers Beverly Hills is still just dreaming about)

    I don’t know if it’s on purpose but it also seems like they’re picking the dumbest girls that could get somebody to fill out the application for them.

    Just think about the answers to the how come you fell pregnant question.

    This season’s not even over and already we’ve heard

    “I was scared birth control would make me fat”
    “plan B cost $50″
    “I was taking pills but I ran out”

    @kthxbai thank you for appreciating my pain! I also think they dumbed down the girls this season. But no one has run afoul of the law (yet). I guess that’s good?

    I have a friend who was a grandmother by the time she was 38. She had her first kid at 20, her oldest kid at her first kid at 17, and by the time my friend and I turned 40 (one month difference in birthdays), my friend’s son had also had a kid. So, by the age of 40, she had two grandkids.
    Yep, I’m the only one of my highschool friends who doesn’t have kids/grandkids. I’m also the only one to graduate from college. :)
