I felt it discussed the problem of being a pregnant teenager but it did not really educate either the female or the male viewer of how to avoid it. It just spouted it out as problem and gave the consequences. Sexuality among teenagers must be made clear that it is taking a large amount of responsibility on ones self especially the female. Luckily, in the US men are forced to take responsibility. Yet, many cultures lay the blame on the female when it does take 2 people to make a baby.
Your images are strong and build a good case for the problems of fooling around with sex. I would love to see you make a message for all your teenage friends to think about it deeper. Sex comes with responsibility not just for the female but males too. Although many societies do not put the responsibility on the male; they should.

Wow. Thanks. ^^
I'm happy that you criticized the animation very well.
I really appreciated it.
Yeah, I too think that men should take responsibility.
I haven't managed to show it on the film though. O.O
I just focused on the views of the female..

I felt it was a well animated piece from backgrounds, characters and even the magical Christmas ending. One problem, Santa planted an acorn and a pine tree appeared. You may want to have Santa plant a pine cone or perhaps look for a picture of an oak tree. Everything else was picture perfect.

I love the drawings for both the people and your backgrounds. The story although abrupt was good. I think this would have been better if your character was talking from while being pictured in a further part of the story. We all need to know about the beginnings but where in time is your character explaining is poorly executed.
Music, well if you want more people watching it seriously lose the music with F-bombs it limits your piece to 13 and older. Also when your music changed from her bumping into the main character and fight scene there was no pause in music or a good transition between the songs. You are good at visuals and visual transitions work on the music.
