Baby 101

I believe it does glamorize teen pregnancy. Though it is great to see that she and her baby are doing well, I think teenagers will see this and think that everything would go the same way for them if they had a baby, despite the fact that she has wealth, fame, and the media to make her life look any way desired. Maybe this would be an opportunity to instead of beautify her life as a new teen mother, inform teens about pregnancy and how to prevent something like this from happening to them.

i do not agree that teens shoud be mothers but not cuz they could not handle the stress NO i think a girl or better a you woman should be able to do somthing in life. jamielynn is stable money wise so why not leave her alone and yes the media is that what kills people and how people think of stars. jamie rase your baby and be there for it as muches you can it is very importand to be there for a baby. hold it as often you can feed it bathit dont let the naabbys take over mommys are

Yes it does. We're talking about the cover here, so the content is irrelevant. The visual impact of the cover is that of a financially successful, attractive, well-rested and happy-looking teenager holding her baby. And she's telling every girl who sees the cover, how great it is.

I think this totally disgusting to behave like this. Still a child herself and then having one. Shame on her and her mother for not discussing birth control or for not having sex at all. I work at a place where I see this kind of thing going on everyday. There is enough birth control out there. But not doing it is the best one. Where are young girls morals today. If Jamie Lynn can do it so can I-great role model. Trudy-Utica,NY

Yes it does, and I usually am not the one to judge. But there I was standing the grocery store checkout line and their was two young ladies behind me checking out the cover, they look to be 13 or 14 years old one say to the other " oh that so cute she has a new baby and she is married , the other girl goes no stupid she not married she just has a baby, the other one was like I want to have a baby and me and the clerk look at each other in total disbelief. When the news first hit she was pregnant I was like leave the young girl alone and now I see younger teens thinking baby are some new cool accessory. It's like an advertisment for teen to get pregnant I'm so against the cover of the Magazine.

I'm not surprised by Jamie Lynn's cover comment at all. What should we expect her to say? Would it make the public feel better about it if she appeared haggard with her hair mussed and black circles under her eyes holding a squawling baby, complaining of depression and acknowledging that she made a mistake? She's in it now and a little decorum is in order, I think. As far as glamorizing teenage pregnancy, I think all media spotlighted pregnancies are glamorized. I've had five kids and I always tried to look my best and put a positive spin on all the chaos, because motherhood is hard no matter who you are! And (to quote Jamie Lynn) it's also "The best feeling in the world!"

I'm not surprised by Jamie Lynn's quote on the cover. What would anyone expect? Should she appear on the cover with her hair mussed and black circles under her eyes, claiming how depressed she is and that she made a mistake? She's in it now, so a little decorum about making the most of it is in order, I think. As far as glamorizing teenaged pregnancy goes, I think the media glamorizes all star pregnancies. Having had five of my own, I always tried to look my best and feel upbeat, but the reality (teenager or not) is that motherhood is hard work. And, to quote Jamie Lynn, "The best feeling in the world."

@ miss.zar

so you're saying that you regret that your mother had you very young.....*** idiots.

Its very easy for everyone to judge, but has anyone been there because if you havent you have no right to say anything I was a teen mother and I still have both of my sons today there are people out there older than I was that do not. It doesnt come down to Jamie Lynn or anyone else on the cover of a magazine, that is our problem now days we always have to have someone to blame we are to blame for what we do. I would not go around telling girls to get pregnant but if its that big of a deal that she is a teen mom talk to your children dont let them watch the show This is life people I know we dont want to face reality but this kind of thing does happen in real life not just movie star world who is to judge her and why are little kids reading adult magazines Ive read those magazines and some of the things in them are not for me either. It doesnt matter what I think or what anyone else thinks but as long as shes a good mom I say let her worry about being a teen mom and if you have kids then you worry about what there doing

this is just the most BS thing to glamorize...there are couples who are childless and spend thousands of dollars to have children, and are in successful relationship in their own rite; yet, you plaster a child who literally had unprotected sex with the 'lights on', and now...stealing from Disney, it's a whole new world. It amazes me when People magazine Said that "Oh my God Kevin Federline had another child with Shar Jackson, the mother of one his older children 'because of unprotected sex', as if he had contracted SARS. Your (ok) issure goes on about Jamie Lynn and her 'fiancee' and what a beautiful thing it is--because she on became a household name because of her sister, and doesn't have to pick up any WIC checks....What is that about? Basically, when people who are not superstars are impregnating each other, the news says they're littering the earth with more children like sunflower seed shells. But the stars, who can't get or stay married long enough for a street light to change, it's the IT thing to do.

that qoute on the magazine "being a mom is the best feeling in the world" is in some way wrong what happened to all the pai,the stress,and fatigue of being a mom. some people suffer from depression after there babys birth okaii its nice to have a baby and all but still get real think about the facts . i always thought of the paprazzi as affecting the stars but not the people they are twisters of words slimy little ingrateful people who are sent to *** up this world.as if we didnt have enough *** problems

i dont think shes sending a good message out there she has so many lil kid fans out there and know after all the pressures girls have out there they'll want to get pregant because thecoolest star did i think she should have thought before doing wat she did she knew that would impact so many people and that young people were watching her every move. i do think she will be a better mom and all but what ever . this is very important girls now a days think they have no chances of getting pregant but they do so what happens when they do and the father cant step up to do it they will be left scared for the rest of there lives thats without out knowing but think now that they want to do it just to have a baby because the next big teenage pop satr is doing it check into reality non pop stars dont have the money to pay for there babys stuff and stars really dont go to school non stars have to so thet can get to where threr planning to go to having a baby will deprive you of that espically at a young age also taking car of a baby when you are growing out of being a baby so i think that they should ask jamie lynn the pain she went threw,the things she lost for being pregant. i guess no one sees her as a fun little teenage pop star they see her as a teenage pop star mom . and people say what a bad example for my young daughter that doesnt give her the privallge to go off and have sex and have a baby when she becomes a teenager. then there moms to take care of the babys and the fathers arent there cus they dont want to admit there the father of the child so then they feel guilty they even did it and is left out of school without a job and without real responsibility of that baby
