Baby 101

yes marketing things like this fro young girls in their teens to see is bad!!!!! teach em something about womens liberation insead of how to get brutalized!! i mean for real and you too!!

thank the heavens! someone has felt teh same way...i had my daughter when i was 20.. and she is my whole world..but i do feel the remorse as i watch my friends go out and do have fun...yes its good that she went out and still have the baby...but nots the point here..having a baby can make you a mom but it dosent always mean that it makes you a woman..i still consider some of my teenage friends who have had babies to still be children them selves. its about growing up. and im afrain jamie lynn will never have to know the hard ships that young mothers do.. its a struggle finacially and mentallly. you have to grow up...i have to pay the sitter, i have to buy diapers, forumula and she will never have to ever worry about where that kind of money is going to come from..maybe i just think she needs a big reality check.. not all of us have millions of bucks!

YES, this advertises, promotes, and says everything is fine about teen pregnancy!!! No, no one wanted her to give the baby up or have an abortion, but come on, her sister is glamorized trash and that is the same road she is headed in. My daughter is in the 1st grade and now she wants to know what happened to the show (Zoey 101) and what pregnancy is. Safe sex is everywhere, and for someone who is supposed to be a role model for young girls everywhere, she should have prevented this; I wonder what kind of talks the Spears' parents had with the young daughter after seing what was happening to their older one!!

what a joke! Whole Spears group is screw up in the head! Jamie is a dumb as her sister but at least her sister had her rug rat in wedlock! It really sicken me see all this young girl gettting preg. at a young age. she is going to have to live with this the rest of her life. Disney should have fire her when she let world know she is going to have a baby out of wedlock. Hmmmmm maybe wear a rubber or get on the pills would work better....... Oh well Another dumb blonde with a kid when she is a kid herslf. lets see how many people i am gong to piss off?!?!?!?

damn wear a freaking rubber or go on the pill. people are getting dumber and dumber that is so sad. who really care a dumb blonde had kid out wedlock.........! i know i am going to piss off somepeople!

So she has a child that will without a doubt grow up knowing from the start that it was a complete unwanted accident. An accident that most likely occurred during the worst possible time. Sounds like the perfect life! What a joke, she should have had an abortion and tied her tubes because the last thing we need in this world is more naive, spoiled, ungrateful children.

I really feel sorry for teenage girl that are pregnant, I have a daugther that is 2 and I wouldnt want to see her pregnant as a teen. I want to bring her up with very good values, but the way the world is today that is going to be very hard. I dont think it is cool to be a pregnant teen. What about the girls life, she should be in school thinking of her education. I was adopted when i was 8, it is hard to be on your own and so much you have to pay out. This magazine should show the hardships that girls go thru, and most of the teenage boys dont stick around and help with there baby also, they dont go to the apts, and they just dont care most of them dont. What about all the costs for diapers and wipes and clothes and food, and formula it costs alot. Thank goodness for WIC and Food stamps that the governement gives to people that should get it. And also the teenagers have backwards, you should get married first and then a few years later then think about having a baby when they are more mature, and have a good nest egg to support the child and to give it a good life, the way it should be. What about values and beleving in what is right and wrong. If the girls need attention they should go to there parents for that or there friends. having kids are great when it is the right time and it isnt when you are still growing up yourself as a teen, you dont have time for yourself anymore, you have to be a mother and focus on your studies and your baby, and that is hard work and can be very stressful. I am 37 and I should know how it is. I waited to get married first and then had my child. It is so much easier that way, it also sets a very good example for your kids as well.

Ok - FOR THOSE LADIES OUT THERE THAT HAD SEX IN HIGH SCHOOL - did you not honestly sweat about getting pregnant every time you had sex? I used protection every single time & still was convinced I would wind up pregnant. It is an interesting article to read....obviously b/c everyone on this page has replied to the article & each other's comments.....Whether or not you think it is right or wrong, it is what has happened to this young Spears girl. Some people are very quick to point fingers. Have you never made mistakes in your life? The magazine is out to make money. It worked on you (and me too :-)

I do think it slightly glamorizes teenage pregnancy, but not enough to freak out about it. I think it will help more teenagers than it will hurt. I am actually glad they went on with the story, because it shows that you DO have choices if you get into an accidental pregnancy. I hope that it all goes well for her, and that she shows women that no matter how old you are, it is possible to be successful as a young mom, and you dont need to kill your baby the second you find out it's growing inside you, just because not everyone thinks its a great idea. I think she made the best out of what happened, and THAT's really what we need to show people. I like to think that the majority of teenagers have higher hopes for themselves and their careers than to go get pregnant, just because it worked out for a celebrity.

lets have a reality check here..this girl has such different circumstances than any other teenage mom..i mean come on the girl has a fortune. i am a teenage mother myself and have realized the ups and downs of having a child. sure she is going to be able to take care of her baby, she just got paid a million bucks for freaking photos..this is just plain old ignoarnce !! im a modern day young mom struggling to pay for sitters, diapers, formula and to give her the right of having a nice house and nice things.. and this jamie lynn blows it in my face! its disgusting.. im sorry but some of us actually have to work for what we want. and i do think this magazine is glamorizing teenage pregnancy to the extent of where girls are wanting babies at a young age to prove how great of mothers they will be. i agree with what people have said...i do pay for these young girls decsions. with some many FREE clinincs out there to prevent pregnacy its a shame none of them cant find one to use!. ive had to alot of growing up and JAMIE LYNN IS NOT A WOMAN....making yourself a mom does not MAKE YOURSELF AN ADULT!!!

i dont think that having jamie lynn on the cover of any magazine or any other teen age star that has become pregnant is going to promote teen pregnancy more than what is already out there. no, i do not feel it is right for teenage girls that have yet to finish high school to be getting pregnant, but it happens. everyday, i went to a high school where two of my friends ended up pregnant, they both kept the babies, and finished high school. so, if you know you want to have a goal and meet it, then keep your head high and get all the support you can! there is always going to be someone to back you!

These poor girls are so excited to be pregnant. They have baby showers and random strangers asking them about their due date. Sporting a baby bump these days is like having a purse designed by Dior or DG. Most girls love this type of attention. They don't realize the attention will die down after baby comes. Then it's just you and the crying baby alone on Saturday night checking out your friends party pictures on myspace. I had my daughter at 20. I wouldn't change anything now, I love my daughter. But it was hard watching all my friends go to college and go to bars once they turned 21. Jamie has nothing to worry about. Her baby probably already has a college fund and she has a house to raise a family of 15. Girls will read this magazine and mentally photo shop their face on Jamie Lynns body. She looks so happy and I sure she is. I would be too if I was 17 and making money by having babies. Hopefully Jamie Lynn can be more honest in the month ahead about how hard it is and stressful being in charge of a babies life. But I am sure the next cover will be her and Maddie sporting matching outfits and traveling to exotic locations. Not pictured... Body guard and army of Nannies

Oh Please! She is Britney's sister and has money in her own right. If she was an real teen who had a baby they'd never them on the cover. If anyone has any cents they will see the difference. If a teen glamorize it they aren't thinking but then again when does a teen think about anything. AND I AM SURE JAMIE LYNN WISH'S SHE HAD WAITED! Cause even with her money she now has lost work and has to be a mom for the rest of her life.
