Baby 101

I would be interested if Rob Shuter ( I use the discription "Editor" loosely. I'm thinking sleazy used car dealer that wants you to believe what he is selling is worth having; would be a better job discription) would take full responsiblity for a head line that states..."Being a mom is the most wonderful feeling in the world" which appears underneath the magazine title name "OK". First of all no baby is an acceident and yes I'm sure there has been some "greater" consideration in this new moms planning for her and her baby's future that may not have seemed as important a year ago. Jamie lynn yes has made some hard dicisions and she for the most part does not equal what the average teenage and their parents have to go thru. And she will capitalize on this step in her life know doubt. But lets get back to the fact that OK is not a quality magazine. They are a one in a thousand like them gossip magazine trying to be qaulity and fall very short from their attempt. Had Rob Shuter shown as much concern in the layout of the cover of his rag as he did in trying deflect the real issues being address to him in newsweeks interview. He could have sold even more rags that would then be looked as a true magazine by displaying a responsible cover choice such as " OK /Jamie Lynne / what is in the future for her and Baby maddie" or " OK / Baby Maddie / Jamie Lynn's thoughts on being a new mom".
But this is just my thoughts....

It is Very Clear that the Moral fabric of this country is in the TOILET. Since when is is not only OK, to glamorize child (Yes, I said Child) Pregnancy, But as a culture we are Encouraging this kind of behavior. No wonder we are considered decident and immoral by 3rd world contries. We should hang our collective heads in SHAME!!! This is not the America I was Born Into. Wake up People!!!

I think that it deals with individuality. I agree with Rob she is not the spokesperson for Teenage Pregnancy she is just providng readers with her experience. While it is indeed understandable the fracas created by this i think that we should stop blaming persons for our mistakes. Its we as parents/family that need to instill strong moral values on our children not Jamie or Rob but us.

Its not glorifying pregnancy. It is telling an individual story! A RICH young womans story. I am a mother of a young daughter and I take all responsibility of explaining these situations to her. Parents are toooooo busy blaming media and the world for the horrible parenting that they have done. If you cant control your child at two -you won't be able to control them at twelve. Everyone needs to take personal responsiblility for them selves. I am only 28 and at 23 when I became pregnant i went to parenting classes and seminars with child psychologist to try and be the best I could as a parent. Put your kids first and give them your time. So when things in the world are not the way you would have them, you can explain to your children what you would like and expect from them. if this where a telling story on lifetime and a movie , we would have more compassion for the situation and not be so condemning. Just remember mothers out there we are the ones molding our children_your always a mother first. and its work. Know what your childs doing on the internet, where they are and what they are exposed to.

i am 12 ok ya i do think that that was wrong of her but not really i mean oveasly she liked this gut and i think that she will do good with the kid and its just a fuew years younger so i really dont think it will make that big of a deal with kids my age and stuff i mean i am not thinking about getting pregnet and yes she is a roll model for me i have a sis and she is 16 and she is a fan of jamie and she isnt thinking of getting pregnet and yes she has a boyfriend and well i know a lot of pple that are a fan of her but they arent thinking of getting pregnet i mean just because she did doesnt mean a lot of other people are going to but i dont really think that it was as bad as some people put it i mean ya i think it was a bad idea but not mabey that bad!

So Jamie how does it feel to be a 16 year old and a mother all@ the same time?

Putting Jamie Spears on the cover with her new baby was a Hugh mistake! What were you thinking. Now 's ok to be a teenage mom. Not everyone has millions in the bank to deal with a newborn baby. Most teenage girls will have to depend on family for support not nannies. This article was sooooo wrong... But I hope the sales of the magazine were worth it...

how does it feel too be a mom @ the age of 16

It is not OK for a teenager to be a mother. Jamie Lynn's reality isn't the reality of the majority of the populace. Most Americans don't even fall into the middle-class category. They fall into the lower middle-class to poor category. This story is not OK. And I believe OK Magazine was WRONG to publish it. Any way you slice it, OK Magazine has glamourized Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. And it is irresponsible on theirs as well as the Spears family's part for publicizing it.

Comment:yeah

I'll bet more people know the sex of Miss underage Jamie's baby than know how many soldiers were killed this week! Am I wrong? How many terrorists were caught or killed this week? Anybody? The press needs to think more about morals and less about La La land and wha't going on out there. Why isn't Jesse Jackson on the front pages with regards to his comments about Obama? Because the press doesn't want us to know that! PLEASE people, do not listen the the rich and famous out there telling you how to vote. Think about it. Get your own information. Because the press only gives you what they are paid to give you - not both sides.

I think that Jamie Lynn putting it on the headlines that its ok to be a teen mother is going to get more teens wanting to,and getting pregnant.

Well, guess what? Jamie Lynn's pregnancy has been glamorous for her. She can afford nannies, fancy baby paraphernalia, personal trainers, and dieticians. This has been a huge boon to her career. Lots of us who previously never paid her any attention are now reading all about her. Her teenage pregnancy is absolutely nothing like a typical teenage pregnancy. But it's not very realistic is it for us to expect the media to convey this to their teenage readership.

I think that Jamie Lynn putting it out there for teen girls saying that it feels good to be a mom is probably going to get more teens pregnant.

Why does the press continually feed us things like this? How many soldiers died in Iraq today? How many terrorists were caught or killed? What about Jesse Jackson's remarks about Obama? What's more important to know? Ohhh - the spoiled underaged girl in California who is sponsered by Disney that got herself pregant and showed it off to the world! Yep folks - that's what it's all about - the rich and famous. And who has the largest mouths out there telling us who to vote for? Yep, those same rich and famous people who haven't a clue about the real world.
