she is not different than THOUSANDS of other teenage girls that have gotten pregnant. It doesn't make her a bad person. It is no wonder that most of the world hate the US, gawd you cannot even be nice to each other.
Shame on you.

I hope the haters are not adults, if you are shame on you. Hating on someone CHILD because of who the mother is. Hate Sara, she either takes or she doesn't but to hate on her child is totally moronic

I think the voting is supposed to be based on how they do with the dancing skills, not who hates who! And idiot is spelled with 2 i's. Better brush up on your spelling before someone calls you an idiot for no good reason.

PLEASE NO ONE VOTE FOR THIS IDOT SO SHE CAN BE THE FIRST ONE VOTED OFF! IT'S JUST LIKE LEVI SAID, SHE IS AS MUCH A FAMEWH*RE AS HE IS.

As an American, I will vote for who I decide to. I do not call a teen girl an idiot for trying out in a dance competition. She seems a little shy and this experience may give her confidence.

I think she looks great! Dancing with the Stars is a tough gig . . . not just going in and taking your clothes off like Levi did. I wish her the best!!

Did somebody just wake her up for this picture?
Glad to see she hasn't gone all Hollywood which she had accussed Levi of doing.
Isn't her 15 minutes up??

They used to have stars on Dancing With The Stars, now they have teenage girls who can't keep their legs closed.

I'm so glad that you're perfect. At least she is trying to support her child so you don't have to.

It's heartbreaking to see hatred being spouted at this young girl. I'm betting that over half of the commenters on have been in the same situation. Bristol has had to face a judging public who themselves are not perfect. Support her not hate her.
