Baby 101

What's wrong with Jamie being happy that she is a mom. Weren't you all happy to hold your beautiful baby in your arms. It doesn't seem that she is trying to promote teenage pregnancy. She's had a lot of bad examples in her life and she seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

Yes, it's reality, it happens all the time. And that's the problem. It's irresponsible. Society will inherit the problems, but the one that loses most is the innocent child.
Young ladies and men, enjoy your youth, get an education, pursue a career, travel, have fun, THEN get married, have children and enjoy a stable family life. It's not as boring as it sounds!
As to OK! magazine, I supposed someone was bound to print the story. But it still doesn't make it right.

So OK Magazine made it clearly that this is an exceptional story of Jamie Lynn Spears in a really, really unique circumstance. Sure she is a teenager but she is in a totally different situation than your "normal" teenager. No the magazine is not glamourizing teen pregnancy - it's simply talking about Jamie Lynn. Teen Pregnancy is a situation where it's part of life and we have to try our best to educate our children the best we can with the knowledge and awareness of the pros and cons.

It's not just about how parents should take care of there children, it also has to do with how responsible your child really is. Stuff happens, and you cant down talk teen moms, cause NO ONE IS PERFECT! I was 15 when i got pregnant. Yeah that was stupid, i should have been more careful. But i dont regret having my daughter. Nore the advances i have made in my life. I graduated from high school a year early, now I have a job I love, being a leasing agent for apartments. Like i said it doesnt matter about the parents, things still happen, and that goes for a teen mom or a teen dad.

I think she shouldn't be on Ok! I am glad that her pregnancy came out well since she is a teenager having a baby and the teenage body is really, really not ready for that kind of stress since the body is still developing. I just hope other teenagers would use their brains and not be so quick to get pregnant and have children that early just because some celebrity teenager is making it seem so cool and easy. And the reality is for those who are not celebrities is that no one is going to give you a million dollars for you baby pictures. What teenagers need to do is think Future and stop thinking in the Now.

hi everyone im fro Argentina and i think that the world are crazy ...yes very crazy kids having kids come what we are. are we animals or humans with a lot of thinks and resolution for our lifes. by people.

well i think that she should had got pregnant i think she did it to get popularity!!!!!!!!!!* also i would not be the best mother at the age of 13 a half!!!!* it would be difficult!!!!*

hillari--You are joking about abstinence, right? It will never work despite all the hand wringing by the ridiculous religious right who cringe at the mere mention of sex. How and when to use a condom may prove to be more effective. There is a vast resevoir of rational humans out here who view sex education as much more viable than the stupid notion of abstinence as a solution to kid sex. No matter how much you whimper and whine about kids having sex, guess what? they're gonna have sex and there's nothing you can do to stop it.The best we can do is mitigate it.

Why does anyone pay the least bit of attention to jamie what's 'er name? She's a nobody who seems to be too stupid to use birth control. That's probably because some idiot thought abstinence was a better idea to teach her than how to understand the instruction manual for a condom. Didn't work, did it? I guess jamie what's 'er name is more newsy than the 9 U.S. soldiers who were killed in Afganistan yesterday.

Jamie Lynn Spears is one of the very few teens who has enough money to hire Nannies, house keepers and any one else she needs to tend this child. She can go about her reckless life while someone else gets up every two hours to feed the baby, change diapers, and tend to the constant crying that occurs during the first three months of life.
All high schools should have a baby class where students care for the baby 24/7. There are dolls that can be programmed to substitute for real live babies. This is reality folks, not the made up version on the magazine cover.

Well the way i see it is, u can't judge the book by it's cover. So that mean everybody makes mistakes. I know that jamie is young and she dont know any better.but maybe she will learn what her responbilities are. Is it wrong that she is on the cover of a popular magazine?

I was a teen having a baby at 16 and at the time it doesn't seem to bad, it seems you can handle it. But then you (as the mom) grows up as well and realizes she missed out on all the fun teen stuff, and now you have a *** or teen on your hands dealing with all the emotions and that's what you just overcome. I never got the to enjoy my teen or young adult years. I went to college with a baby and worked. I now have a family and a great husband but I am not even 30 years old and I'm already exhausted. When most 30 years old are just starting to enjoy adult life I'm already beyond that. I think OK magazine did glamourize her situation. Because she has money does make it easier. But she is a very small percentage of teens in america. And of course a new baby is joyful. But what about when there teens will they update then when she is dealing with her childs teen years. Although motherhood is great it is not a great life for a teenager. It's more work than fun. I feel that the people of OK magazine are irresponsible. It really makes me feel sick on how glamourized they made this situation.

I don't like the galmorizing that the media does. There are lots of teenage mothers in this country and they don't get the attention and praise that Jamie Lynn is getting. Most are looked down on and talked about in a negative way not positive and definitely not as if they've done something so great and approving.

all of the mom's that don't agree with the article need to take care of their own children before they criticize others. HA! and complaining about taking care of their child's baby!!!!! LADY TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER SO SHE WONT GET PREGNANT. oh and blaming Hollywood is stupid..... I'm 17 and I'm not dumb enough to follow a celebrity's example..... if your daughter is naive enough to do all that she sees on the magazines and t.v., then you need to have a little talk with her....

Jamie Lynn's story is different from the young girl who grow's up in a single parent home in high school in an area where poverty is at an all time high! I don't encourage teens to fashion their lives after celebrities for this exact reason. People make mistakes but for her this wasn't a mistake. All young girls will not have a nursery, duck lamp or fiance' so I agree that harder questions should have been asked and she needs to stand up and say it is not acceptable for teens because she is a teen idol. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING AND I DON'T LIKE THE GLAMORIZING THE MAGAZINE IS DOING!!!

I'm 25 years old and I had my first child at the same age as Jamie Lynn. I can say that YES!! having a baby at such a young age is very difficult. But we can not hide the fact that there are alot of teens having babies at a young age all over the country. Just because OK Magazine has published her story doesn't mean that every teen is going to start having babies. I believe that everything comes back to the relationship you have with your parents. I believe that if I would have had a good relationship with my mother it wouldn't have happened. But My life was not over I now had someone that need me and gave me a reason to contineu my my life,I took responsibility of my actions and didn't end up in welfare. I have a great job and take care of my two girls. My oldest daughter is now 7 and she watches her show all the time. I encourage her to go to school and look forward to college. I have never regret making the decisions I Made. Good Luck Jamie Lynn!!!!

I commend Jamie Lynn...she CHOSE life. I know little Maddie will have much love and guidance. Babies come from God, andlet those without sin cast the first stone. Congratulations Jamie on the birth of your perfect little angel!
