    HAHAHA...I Just have to laugh! Because Jamie Lynn Spears shouldnt be judged by ANYONE. Teen Pregnancy is HAPPENING. WOW just because she is a celebrity all of a sudden it is the topic to talk about. Lets go people! Where was all this worry and judgement before she was pregnant! GET OVER IT. All you can do is talk to your teens and hope they make the best decisions. If not they will spend their lifes taking care of another human being! Congrats Jamie Lynn and Casey. You have a beautiful Baby girl. Take care and God Bless.

    I think that putting a headline on the front of a magazine like that should not be acceptable. You might be just telling people what she's gone throught but i got pregnant right before i turned 16 its easy for all these stars to go through this stuff never having to worry bout money or paying bills they can pay someone to live with them and help take care of their kid all the time. But when a teen sees that and thinks oh i want to have a baby now they dont think well im not rich like her. I barely make enough money to pay my bills and take care of my son and trying to make it through college. Sure you might be making good money by putting that on a magazine but think About the well being of teens these days. There are way to many teen pregnancies to be advertising it!

    Jamie Lynn is the most prettiest, wonderful person but this teenage pregnancy has a bad message to other female teens. she shouldn't of said "being a mom is the best feeling in the would" like i said, she is awesome in so many ways but sometimes you just have to be careful. (about what you say)

    I don't think that everone should be happy about her having a child at is young age. If i got pregnant I know that everyone would be looking down on me. I am 19 and in college. This is a child having a child which is not a very good thing let alone the fact that there will be a lot of cameras following her everywhere she goes. How is she going to bring up the child to be better. She cannot ask her mother because hey both of her children messed up their lives. one lost custody of her children and the other is a CHILD WITH A CHILD. There is nothing that can be done about her having the child now but this is not something that should be taken lightly. This is the same reason that there are a lot of screwd up kids in the world. There are too many little girls getting pregnant. Did she even finish school? Tis is happening to lesser privillaged children and they are having it harder. They did not finish school and they have to take care of a child. They cannot get a high paying job because they did not finish high school. So now they cannot take night classes because it will be hard for them to get a sitter. This is what is going on in oher places and Jamie-Lynn i sover there getting pregnant and everyone is all happy about it. I find it to be a bunch of bull ***. So what if she has money and she is still gonna be sucessful cause she just is. Ok I get it she is one of the luck ones. Not too long ago she was defending her sister. I thought that she was going to be the smart one but I she that She has Fallen. I hope that everything goes well. i know that everything will go well cause she is who she is but still, all i am saying is that everyone is taking this too lightly. She could have been better off getting her education. All of the celebrity kids will be better off getting an education before we have a whole bunch of Paris Hiltons killin gpeople in teh streets.

    Teen pregnancy is responsibility soley of the two teens involved. Their choices are based firstly on parental guidance and secondly on peer pressure. Jamie Lynn now has a baby who is very much innocent and now it will be up to Jamie to be responsible for her. In whichever case you choose to see it, I know many 25 and older married couples who are neglectful and irresponsible parents. I also know young parents who are the most attentive and caring parents. Although age can be a factor, trust me in alot of cases that doesnt define if your a good parent or person at all. The best of luck to Jamie and her newborn. God is love. Peace I leave with you.

    Who are you people to judge this girl? What she did was her decision mistake or not. You are not her mother and if you do have children instead of worrying about her the maybe you should be worried about your children instead of talking this girl down. Yes maybe her decisions were wrong but shes making the best of the situation. Nobody asked you to approve of her or her child. Also, calling Maddie a bastard is wrong and you should be ashamed of youselves, it was not her fault her mother made bad choices. At least shes taking care of this baby instead of dropping her in a dumpster somewhere or having an abortion. She did the right thing with the choices she had. Teenage pregnancy is not right no, and dont get my words all mixed up, but in my opinion if your child has a baby at a young age obviously you werent teaching him.her the right choices. Dont blame Jamie Lynn for the problems that were in this world before she got pregnant. I should know because i got pregnant at 16, im 20 years old still with the father and just had another baby. I had alot of people dissappointed in me but you know what they helped me through my tuff times and now my son is the happiest little boy in the world. So before you go judging people you dont even know maybe you should be paying attention to the problwms in your own home.

    They are not glamorizing teen pregnancy by putting her on the cover. She a celebrity that got pregnant at a young age and for everything she went through deserves to be on the front of a magazine with her baby. I love Jamie Lynn and im happy that shes keeping her head up high and being touch through everything thats going on in her life.

  • Posted By: ness_city_eagles @ 07/17/2008 10:01:56 PM

    I think Jamie is an awesome person but when she said "Its the best feeling in the world" it makes other teens want to go get pregnant.

  • Posted By: dpmom @ 07/17/2008 9:46:56 PM

    Jamie Lynn did not create teen pregnancy, she is just an example of what's really going on at that age for a lot of kids. Parents and older brothers and sisters need to realize that this is a reality for many teenagers and their families. Talk to them and explain the risks and heavy responsiblities they could face.....all you can do is build a good foundation with children and hope they do the right thing.

    I'm very happy for Jamie Lynn, she looks to be incredibly happy in her new house with her new fiance and her beautiful baby girl. New families can be a blessing yes, if you have the ability to support the family. She has money, her family has money and they will be able to provide the baby with a wonderful life. However, most teen parents are not lucky enough to be able to purchase a house, build a nursery, and live happily ever after. I wish the best of luck to Maddie, Casey, and Jamie Lynn, I have no doubt that they will live a happy, successful life. But I do believe that it puts an incorrect spin on a typical teenage pregnancy.

    Teen pregnancy doesn't mean a young girls life is ruined, or that she should be shunned from the rest of the world. I myself became pregnant & had a child at the age of 17; I am now 38 with a 21 yr old son & have been married to the childs father for 21 1/2 yrs. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology & in one more semester will have my Master in Psychology. I know MANY GROWN ADULTS WHO CAN'T STAY MARRIED 21 YEARS or complete a Masters degree. So before the world frowns upon teen pregnancy you must realize that not every story has a horrible ending and maybe through the proper support system we can assist these young girls so that they too can lead a successful life!!

    This is not the pretty picture we want our girls looking at. I have no respect for OK mag, they use celebrity strictly to increase sales and it is a sad picture of our society that the sales soar at the expense of the dark side of celebrity. I have never bought an OK magazine and I never will. Teen pregnancy is not a happy face for the majority of teens who find themselves in this situation and glorifying it using the bad choices of a celebrity such as Jamie Spears is not only bad for her but bad for the young girls who are looking at it. She should be using her fame to advocate teens not getting pregnant not showing them that she is so happy in her fantasy world that will surely crumble in the long haul.

    I think it's ridiculous that Jamie Lynn's pregnancy is being glamorized.My 7-year-old sister watched Zoe 101 and idolized JL. Now how do you explain to a 7-year-old what is happening? The fact that the magazine was talking about her and her "finace"'s home and how she even had a fiance is beyond me. She's 17. Why is she even living with her boyfriend in her own home? This screams bad parenting to me. Becoming pregnant at that age is not good, babies aren't mistakes but the fact that hollywood is glamorizing this horrid trend is horrifying. America really needs to step back and take a look at who they are putting out there for young girls to idolize. Maybe then they'll understand why they have so many problems with teen pregnancy, eating disorders, etc

    Speaking from expirence, being a teen parent is tough. Granted I was 18 when I had my 1st child, but it still makes life hard. My husband (and father of both my childern) stayed by my side. I wouldn't change a thing in the world about how my life has gone. I am in school persuing my career dreams and I believe Jamie will do the same. And furthermore had her "big sister" not be "famous" no one in this world would give a crap about this. It's because of the screw ups that Brittney has done that Jamie Lynn is getting unfair, unjust publicity. I know what it is like to be looked at with distaste..... It doesn't make the task of raising a child any easier, and certianly not any eaiser in the world's spot light. If people are this pissed off at a teen pregnancy then they need to read the rest of the celebrity news section and count how many kids Brad and Angelina have. *** about that and leave the poor girl alone.....you'll do us all a favor.

    And about teaching young ladies that thier vaginia is not a hole in the wall, you should also teach the 'gentlemen' that their penis is not to be used to plug the hole......it goes both ways. Last time I checked a female needs a male to become pregnant.

    I was a teenage mom, and even though it was hard, and there were days that i wanted to pull out my hair.....IT WAS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD! It still is. It doesn't matter on the age of a person, she stepped up took her priorities and put them in line. There are a lot of people in their late 20's and early 30's that can't even do that. Support the girl and the choices that she has made...these choices are hers after all!

    • Posted By: katamata5859 @ 07/15/2008 10:12:10 PM

      Just a question, do you have a boy or a girl? If a girl, are you okay with her having a child while still in high school? Best feeling in the world or not, the sentiment you put across is a bit selfish, don't you think? Maybe you felt good, but did your daughter or son have hardships because of it?

      • Posted By: Kammysmama @ 07/17/2008 9:24:10 PM

        It was and still is the best feeling in the world for me. VERY rewarding and my child has always gotten everything in the world that she has needed and wanted. You are pretty sick for thinking it to be SELFISH to love your children.

    I have no respect for OK magazine they use celebrity to sell mags and the worse the story the better for them. I have never bought an OK magazine and never will! This glorified teen with her baby is not the pretty picture we want to show to our girls, I have worked with too many teens having babies and this reality is not something to show as a million dollar success story!

  • Posted By: CritiKal @ 07/17/2008 9:19:13 PM

    Bad, Bad, Bad move....teen pregnancy is NOT glamourous...it is NOT fun...and is NOT something our society should promote. Shame on you OK! ... it must be the money....
