Baby 101

I feel it is ridiculous that OK Magazine would feel putting Jamie Lynn on the cover of their magazione acceptable--why? Having her and the baby on the cover definetely glamorizes TEEN pregnancies. I am not a reader of OK but after seening this on their cover I will NEVER buy their magazine or any others associated with OK. I have a 13 year old daughter and knowing what the medi is chosing as their front cover/top stories today saddens me! What is going on in the minds of the media---aahh money. How sad. Can anyone print a story about people especially young people doing good, or would that not bring you in the big bucks. Perhaps if on magazine or one news station or one newspaper statred only highlighting the GOOD in the world others would follow. OK be the ones to change-for OUR futures sake.

Sex sells to adults-
Birth control?- is it broad casted across america?
Lil kids having sex should be made fun of-
Teens having sex should be on the pill, or at lease by a rubber-

Messages are sent by the parent-

Of course it glamorizes teen pregnancy, also it should not have been ran because it depicts a lifestyle that is very unrealistic for your everyday person. The lifestyles of the rich and famous are so far off when it comes to the lives of working class citizens, yet your average everyday person feels like they are being compared to what magazines and the media show us. Alot of character building qualities have been lost in individuals because they feel they are entitled to be on the same page as everyone else is instead of working or striving to achieve that goal.
I read every magazine around for entertainment and entertainment alone. I believe I can pick who is going to make it, break it, get together, break up, who should be together, etc., because I stay informed for reasons unknown even to me. I have to break up my studies with light ready I suppose.

Okay- i agree, its good her doesnt have to take care of her baby.

But, why is she even the topic of anything? Because she has a mental sister- and now she has a baby.
Iknow when i was growing up- that stuff didnt happen- and if it did, ya most liely did not see her around anymore.
The world is going to hell in a hand basket and it starts right here with kids.
You cant spank them anymore, what ya going to do take away there ipod?
Kids are out of control and parents dont care until there lil demon hurts someone.
They feel like they done have to account for anything- In my day i thought about things before i did them "is my dad going to whoop my a@@ if i do this etc"..........

My comment on Jamie Lynn is that you know her sister is Britney and she has seen the wrong that she has done and the conquences that she got for them so I believe that Jamie Lynn will be a great Mother. She is not going to make the same mistakes that her sister made.You know and whoever said that was a 'Ugly Kid' really needs to be sat down and talkin to b/c you just don't say things like that about a baby. I think Maddie is beautiful and amazing!

A girl is condemned for having a baby, but she's condemned equally if she considers or has an abortion.
She's not supposed to have sex, but our culture uses sex to sell everything.
If she doesn't have sex, she's called a prude.
If she does have sex, she's called every derogatory name in the book.
If she asks for birth control, she is demonized by some for even thinking about sex.
If she doesn't ask for birth control, she's stupid and irresponsible.

Basically she can't win. The mixed messages we send our young girls are the problem I see. This makes effective parenting harder and more important than ever. And what about our young men? We tell young girls not to expect them to stick around. Why does it seem that we have accepted this as the rule? We should demand and expect our boys to be actively involved in any family they help create.

All of us, whether parents or not, should do whatever we can to influence the children in our communities in a positive way.

You know I've been sitting here reading what others are saying and some of you are just plain rude.Yes I don't think it's okay for you kids to think it's okay,great or cool to get pregant at a young age. I got pregant at 16 years old and i stood up and took on the job. I was hard and difficult sometimes but I have great memories from my pregancy and raising her. She is now 9 years old and she's a fan of zoey 101. And yes I was upset at first but what could I do about it. Tell her she couldn't watch zoey 101 anymore. No, I wasn't going to do that.Anyways the point I'm trying to get acroos is that it's not okay to get pregant at a young age and parents of teens need to pay more attention to them and talk to them more about things like this. Don't make them learn it the hard way.Some people don't need to be so judgemental.Just be happy that she's taking care of her baby and not just having her mother do it. Good luck to Jamie Lynn and I hope she has a sucessful life.

Teen pregnancy?- it happens when KIDS dont take sex seriously- Look around kids having kids because they did not think about there actions.

I Just wish people would quit talking, dealing with these teens that are just messes up. They take them from there lives in nowhere usa, and put them in front of the world. Unless you grew up in the lime light- you will not be able to handle it.
Only a few have actually made it with lil problems.

Please go back to the trailer park!!! And take your sister with ya. Only reason Jamie is even in a pic is because of her mentally challenged sister. Both girls are trash.

I think people need to leave her alone. Jamie Lynn and Britney. The media is the reason that Britney has had the breakdowns. Do they plan on doing the same thing to Jamie Lynn? Another thing, I am sick and tired of people saying Jamie Lynn is glamourizing teen pregnancy. I'm 17, and yes, I want kids. But seeing her with a baby on a magazine does not make me want to go have sex and get pregnant. Jamie Lynn, I'm sure, is more mature than some 20 and 30 year olds that are "allowed" in the public eye, to be parents. And she is financially stable, what does it matter if she has a kid? I think she will be a good mother, hopefully better than Britney.

Who cares if she isn't married. I'm not married, I have a 4 month old. I'm 22, live on my own with my boyfriend soon to be husband. I have been financially stable and on my own since I was 18. I think what is more disturbing is the fact that people are SO upset with her having a baby. She got pregnant, deal with it. At least she stepped up and took responsibility for the baby. She may have millions of dollars and nannys. Good for her! Don't be jealous. I'm sure any other NON famous teen out there with a supporting well to do family goes through the same thing.
JamieLynn says being a mom is the best thing. IT IS!!! It is probably the greatest feeling in the world. What is she suppose to say to the public? Being a mom SUCKS? Then the world would be jumping on her for that. She just can't win. In no way do I support teens who purposely get pregnant. But I do support the ones that deal with it head on once they are.
I think people need to talk to their teens more often, instead of complaining about teen pregnancy epidemic. And get off Jamie Lynn's back.
