Baby 101

Jamie Lynn is just another young girl who made a mistake she is not the first and she will not be the last. The media is trying to make it her fault that young girls are getting pregnant, she wasn't around when my mom got pregnant at 16. It happens and it's been happening for what seems like ever. I was 24 when my son was born and 33 when I had my second. Some people tell me I started late. I still think I was too young but that's just me. People with teens have your kids watch the Baby Borrowers it's about teens who think their ready for babies most of them get the shock of their lives. My 13 year old watched it once and right now he's not interested in being a father. They are never too young. Talk to your kids!!!!!

Just another liberal media outlet out to destroy the morals of this country. smousseau you show real immaturity in your post. It is a big deal. Look at the 17 MA girls who are going from getting a school education to getting a real world education. What makes you think Jamie can take care of the baby just because she is rich? Look at all the dysfunctional Hollywood brats there are out there and the way they were raised and tell me it is good. This magazine should be out of business and probably will be, just like Air America, if they don't change their morals and publications. Don't believe it? Look at how the MSM media rags and magazines are losing subscribers left and right and losing money.

Im sure her family wouldnt trade anything in the world for their newest member, however, putting her on the cover and then giving her a huge spread thats a little much. little girls know her from disney and when they see her on the cover of a magazine with a baby what kind of message does that send. She had a baby , and shes a natural mother( so we read) ok, but shes also still a kid .A kid who didnt use her head, a kid who had a baby, i dont think that is anything we should glorify especially not with a cover of a magazine.

What's the big deal? She had a baby at a young age, so what, it's becoming more common these days. I am not saying that it's fantastic or anything but that's just the way it is happening. The only difference between Jamie and all the other young girls having babies is that jamie is rich and can have as many as she wants and not have to worry about how to take care of them.

To ask a question like that is completely absurd. Of course it's wrong to give her the big glossy cover. Of course it will influence young girls to have sex and exploit themselves and their newborns.
Why doesn't Newsweek ask people if they've remembered to continuously breathe, too?

Common sense. Use it.

This is totally glamorizing teen pregnancy, even if she is of privileged status, it is still wrong to feature her and this pregnancy, and all the events of the birth. I am glad the baby was healthy and all, but let's call it what it is, a statistical part of this nation's history of teen sex and pregnancies.

being the mother of 2 i strongly agree that its the most wonderful feeling inthe world, there is nothing better than hearing your child say moomy for the first time, of getting a hug from your child after a long day at work, but motherhood is NOT all fun and games and happy feelings... when i had my oldest my social life died...remember partying the weekend away? well thats over as soon as that baby pops out.. remember when you could just drop everything and go hang out with your friends, or go see a movie, not having to worry about if it's to violent? or hoping it doesnt give your child nightmares (and its a disney!!!) unfortunalty, thats motherhood, your wants and needs no longer come first... you have obligations to your new baby, and your dating life? sorry hunny, its few and far between that you find a MAN (not a boy) that is ok with raising your child. i have a dear friend who is 21 has a beautiful 4 year old little boy (so she was 17 too..) and has already given up on finding her son a dad, the difference between little miss jamie lynn and my friend? jamie is a teen millionaire. forget about love. who wouldnt want to be married to a teen wonder? but a normal person, who is barely living paycheck to paycheck is not much temptation... yes being a mother is amazing and easy if you can pay anyone, any amount to watch your baby while you go have a good time. but for the rest of us, who have to worry about paying a baby sitter so we can go work to keep a roof over our child's head and clothes on thier back, its no picnic.......

No, she didn't yet PLAN on getting pregnant, but she did. She made a juvenille mistake and it should not be GLORIFIED BY THE MEDIA. I hope that this Spears doesn't make the same irrational decisions that her sister did. If her sister weren't who she is, nobody in this country would know or care about Jamie Lynn. That alone is why the editor of this magazine should be questioned for his moral ethics.... if he has any. He's using a media giant (Brittany) to sell his magazine based upon an immature decision that was made by an immature child so that he can put more money in his bank account. That's the issue with the magazine cover. Good luck Jamie Lynn. I hope that you are happy and hope you learn from your sister's decisions on how NOT to raise a child. Your mother would be a better example to follow.

Jamie Lynn would be criticized regardless. She has a baby as a teen so she is refered to as trash. If she'd put the baby up for adoption she'd be called irreponsible and picked on with people saying how could she do that when she has plenty of money to care for a child. If she'd had a abortion she'd be called a murderer. NO MATTER WHAT, she's going to be ridiculed and criticized just because she is a celebrity. Heck, if she'd done nothing to draw some not-so-great attention to herelf, the next thing tabloids would be reporting is "Are Jamie Lynn and Britney really related?" Society is obsessed with celebrities, it's silly, you're only going to live once, find something better to do with your time!

I think it is beautiful that she is happy and positive about her motherhood. Would you have her wear sackcloth and ashes and beat herself with a cane? That would do harm to her and her child. Do not forget that we are human, living in a sea of humanity. If you stand in judgement of her for being a teen mother you are in moral peril . Read the good book of your choice again with intent to understand. We in America indulge ourselves in comfort and excess, isolated from any form of real challenge and hardship. We watch adult scenarios played out in detail in our movies, televisions and magazines and scream "give us more give us more!". The fact that we are even reading and commenting on this article is proof of that. But when there is a REAL person who needs REAL support and encouragement we climb up on that old white horse to nowhere and cast stones. Live your life with love and compassion. Do not lose that capacity by judging others or you will leave this life a hollow person. Support and love your children. Bless her, bless her parents and bless her child. She will have to find her way through this life just like you and I.

Jamie Lynn would be criticized no matter what. She has a baby as a teenager so people refer to her as trash. If she would've put the baby up for adoption, people would say she's irresponsible and she has enough money to care for the child, how could she do that? If she had a abortion, she'd be looked at as a murderer. So NO MATTER WHAT, she's going to be ridiculed. Heck, the next thing you know, if she hadn't dome atleast a little something to get herself some not so great attention, the next tabloid covers would be: Jamie Lynn and Britney Polar opposites? Are they really sisters? Society is ridiculously obsessed with celebrities and really just need to find something better to do with their time and lives!

im a fan or jamie lynn's hit show zoey 101. i think that her getting pregnant was a bad choice, but i also think that she is going to make a great mother. people say that because there are so many young children watching her show, she is setting a bad example for them. i think differently. she cant help the fact that she got pregnant, she cant help that she's not perfect, she cant help that she made a bad decision. she is human and all humans make mistakes, this does not give us the right to tell everyone that she is a bad person which she is not. sure her family has a bad history but dont take it out on them everyone makes mistakes.

I'm sure that Jamie did not PLAN on getting pregnant. She is just making the best out of the situation. I think everyone needs to go easy on her and mind their own business. As a single teenage mom, I know what it's like to try to get through high school and college by yourself with a child, but it is possible. I'm proof. Although I did not plan on getting pregnant at 16, I love my son and would not change anything for the world. I am now 25 and an Elementary teacher.

It's just creeeeeeeeeeeeepy seeing that little girl with a baby on the magazine cover. If you have ever seen Zoey 101, her tv show, then you know what I am talking about. She plays a young teen - like the kind that chew gum, walk around town talking about boys, and wear plastic butterfly or flower barrettes in their hair. The whole thing is just really unnerving. She's only 1 or 2 years older than Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana, for crying out loud! I really hope young girls who want to emulate her don't get pregnant. They can't emulate the millions of dollars that she has that will make things much easier for her than they would for a normal person who will have to earn a living by working 9 to 5 for the rest of their life.

I do no think my comment will matter, because either way she is famous and she is still only 16! Regardless of the comments you will recieve, you still as a magazine will continue to put her on the platform of recognition that she is ok. And to that, you the press and myself for reacting to this article are giving her the acknowlegdement that teen pregnacy is on a certin level ok. As an ECE teacher and councler to new parents in their new lives, Jamie has no idea what is to come with this child, money can fix somethings, a nanny and freedom, but you are respondsible for this living being the rest of your life. She is only 16 and we as a human society are allowing her to feel better. But in the end Jamie Lynn lives in a world of jugdment, and that life will eat away at you while trying to bond with your new one.

Bad message just like Angelina and Brad cheating on Jennifer and everybody thinks they are great. I would not pay to see any of them in a movie, or anywhere else. Cheaters and tramps!!
