Baby 101

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.

I do not think they are glamorizing it at all. I was a pregnant teen myself, exaclty Jamie's age, but I was also responsible. I've worked a full time job and gone to school full time since I was 15. True, my daughter wasn't planned but she was a blessing. They right now are treating Jamie like a mom and a woman, not reflecting on her age. Age shouldn't really come into it as long as she loves her child and can provide for that child. I think this is her story as a mom and not a pregnant teen. And as said before it is up to parents to have discussions with their children about waiting and about the hardships of having a child , especially at a young age. I don't think Jamie should be penalized or ridiculed by people because she got pregnant young. Even as an 'idol' for young kids, it's not her job to them they should be abstinent, it's still the parents job to talk with their kids about these things. The fact is a huge chunk of teenagers have sex- they just don't get pregnant. It's the ones of us who do that are looked on badly and shunned, when we aren't the only ones doing it. I think Jamie should be commended for stepping up to the plate and having her child and taking care of her child, despite even the bad press. She could have aborted the baby and avoided the whole thing but she didn't. That takes courage. So to me she still is a role model, no you don't want your child to be a pregnant teen but if they happen to be wouldn't you rather have them see a good example of a mom as it appears Jamie is being???

It comes down to she has the money to do what she wants. I do think she shouldn't be Zoey 101 anymore though. She isn't a role model anymore. She had sex & got pregnant at a young age but she doesn't have to work 2 jobs to support herself & fight for child support w/a dead beat father who says he needs a dna test. So hopefully she'll be a responsible mother & she & Casey will stay together & prove us all wrong that it wasn't a good idea at 16 to get pregnant & now play house because they can.

JLS stars on a show called Zoey 101. It is a childs show on Nickelodeon. This show is watched by girls who are alot younger then her. She plays a girl who is alot younger then her. JLP may be close to 18 but her fans are not as close. And I dont think she should be glamourizing it and showing it off so much. If she wouldnt have been a star on Nick, and idolized by younger girls, then fine. She is a woman, let her live how she wants. But I wouldnt want my 14 year old daughter to want a baby because "zoey" has one.

It's scarey to think yound girls will read this and want to have a baby. Babies are like the new cool accessory. The must have for this seasons trends. Sporting a baby bump is like having a purse designed by Dior. Most girls love attention and when your pregnant everything is about you and your baby. Girls don't realize the attention will die down after you have a baby. I had my daughter at 20. I wasn't as young as some girls these days, but I remember how happy it felt to be pregnant, even though I was unmarried and this was an unplanned pregnancy. I love my daughter to death, but it was hard to watch my friends have fun at college and go out to bars after they turned 21. I wouldn't change it for anything, but I wish girls could realize it's easy to prevent pregnancy if you try and having a baby when your young and single is the last thing you should want.

You know folks...it's not the magazine it's the world. If you are against teen pregnancy then do something about it! As most people see it, this is entertainment. America is entertainment. Come on.... It's not just teen (celebrity) pregnancies we're seeing it's messy divorce's (Madonna and Guy). It's not just Divorce's it's rehab (Ronnie Woods). And if it's not rehab it's plain ole distruction (Amy Winehouse).

Folks...take the focus off of Jamie and put it on the baby. My daughter had a baby when she was 17 and I went through an emotional hell. I am, what someone referred to as a "Jesus Lady". I love the Lord with all my heart and to have found out that my 17 year old was pregnant from her brother, who heard it from someone else was devastating!!! But...my grand-daughter was born and she is embarking on 2 years old and I am in LOVE with her. True enough the act of sex before marriage is very dangerous because you are disobeying Gods word and you will reap the consequences but far be it for me to judge what that consequence will be. I am on this earth to love and love is what got me over my disappointment that I had with my daughter and love is what teaches me not to judge.

Unfortunately, young ones are going to do what they want to do no matter how strict the parent(s) is/are. If they want to smoke, they will find a way. If they want to have sex, they will find a way. We cannot be with our child(ren) every minute of the day and being we can't the only thing left to do is teach them right the best way we know how and PRAY!

And for those who do not believe in God...please don't disrespect the ones that do because....we all must believe in something or else we'll fall for anything!

Teenagers have babies all the time. But it should not be glamorized. Do I blame OK! for doing that? No. They are a business, and businesses do what they need to in order to make money. Its PARENTS job to make sure thier kids know what is real and what isn't. Not the media or big business.

I think they did glamorize teen pregnancy by all the stories that have been done to let the whole world know that she was pregnant and now shes had the baby. She wasnt penilized at all for doing these things. No onw has looked down on her, she is still a celebrity. I was a teen mother and I was looked down on and still get looked down on for having my son as young as I did and now Im 30 years old. You are right she is a special case cause she never has to worry about anything, but in reality all the girls who look up to her think well it must be ok. Its not a bad thing after all.............but it is! Im sorry but I think any magazine, news story, etc. should be ashamed of themselves for wanting to print these kinds of stories. Parents have a hard enough time getting their kids to listen to them now how do you teach your kids that teen pregnancy is wrong when people on tv and in magazines make it look ok?

One of my neices (18) wanted to know "if she was missing out" on something, by having a baby. Her MOM told her "NO, of course not." Her Mom told her that having a child is a blessing between a married couple and not a SINGLE teen girl to have. What is society telling our kids? Plus the kids that have kids, think they can still party with their friends and think Mom & Dad are going to babysit their kid. Hopefully Jamie Spears will be a responsible parent unlike her sister. They have money, they can hire nannies and daycare. For the childsake, I hope this one doesn't bare the emotional scars like the others.

She may think that "being a mom is wonderful now", just wait until the baby starts walking, talking and dating. What kind of role model is she? In my opinion, she should be on birth control. Actually, if her parents knew she was "sexually active", then she should have been on birth control. Instead of being a sad, pathetic statistic in our country. I never did any of those things. I waited until marriage to have a child at 28 years old.

THIS IS TO ALL YOU AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE....OR BEFORE JUDGING ANYONE ELSES FIX YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR...SOMETIMES I THINK THE WAR IS HERE AND NOT IN IRAQ.

What do you think this article says exactly to all the teens who see her play Zoey on TV and know hoe old she is now being represented through photos etc. in a beautiful home with an ideal nursery with and ideal boyfriend pouring her coffee - coffee - she's too young even for frickin' coffee - this does not demonstrate a "normal" circumstance and this is what kids will see - no where in the headline does it say "THIS IS AN UNREALISTIC SITUATION" - and in reality is is portraying a very unrealistic outcome and how can kids be expected to know the difference - they have no experience so how exactly can they figure this out? They see a house a beautiful girl who keeps her boyfrined who can now live with him and - it even down plays the fact babies wake up and need to be fed all night long - just stating her baby is really "PERFECT" and just goes right back to sleep - like it's not exhausting her in anyway shape or form - do you know anyone young or old who has it so "PERFECT"??????????? Even if she were 35 this all would be a bunch of crap - so it is completely irresponsible to portray it this way on so many levels - it is false and untrue and even worse leads many unexperienced minors to see something totally different then what actually is - it does not state she has tons of money or wouldn't have graduated high school regardless or doesn't have to work because she is wealthy etc......what part of the story is not misleading?

It's too late. Jamie Lynn Spears may be rich...but she didn't care about having unprotected sex, and she didn't care she was a minor at the time. OK Magazine has, in fact, glamorized teen pregnancy which should come to no surprise because they'd do it again if they could. The authorities are looking the other way....because there haven't been any arrests made since this whole thing happened.

i am a teen and i think teen pregnancies are wrong.The teens today should have more respect for their bodies. Having a child will change your life. It will take the years that you are supposed to be spending as a teen and turn them into years being a parent.

I am outraged at the glamorization of teenage pregnancy by the media, especially magazines like OK. I think the media need to take better responsibility as to how they present stories like these. I know of many teenage girls who think pregnancy is this hip, new thing-- until it happens to them. The reality of teen pregnancy is harsh. Movies, magazines, and other media need to clean it up. When will they get that we ALL are responsible for our youth? I think all magazine editors and movie writers/directors needs to take media ethics 101 again. But then again, anything for a buck. Right? :(
