Teen Pregnancy, Hollywood Style

This is a classic example of the demoralization in this country. Jamie Lynn Spears is worshiped by young teens. We fail as society to teach our teens abstanance or to use protection. Jamie Lynn is a celebrity and not the best role model for our teens. As she makes the comment "being sa mother is the best feeling in the world". I'm sure with all the overpaid money she made, she will hire a staff to look after the little tyke, while she continues her acting career, But at this point, she has neither the brains or skill to raise a child and at the same time sends a message ot young teens everywhere it's so glamorous to be a pregnant teen and young girls will follow her lead. If you think the fall-out from this story has long reaching effects, just watch the increase in teen pregnancies in our society. Parents need to step up to the plate and educate our young peaple about unprotected sex. You can bet the bank that Hollywood sure won't, that would cut down on movie sales and profits. Dirt sells and the SOBs are in it up to their eyeballs. By the way, teen marriages have a the highest failure rate due to the fact the majority of teens are not intellecually ready for that commitment, as well their maturity level, in todays society is way below par. Jamie Lynn is fortunate to have made a substancial sum of money to aid her in hiring her staff to raise the baby. Otherwise this would be just another tragic teen pregnancy and another teen on welfare, hud and AFDC.

Well I think its just showing the reality of what could happen. Its not glamorizing anything it shows the consequences of being irresponsible and being sexually active at a younger age. It shows the trials and tribulations of a teen mother in high school the way it effects her LIFE, friends, family, school work; how older generations look down upon teen pregnancy and an abortion is 50/50 in the looked down upon to only other
option ratio. On the other hand it is the "trend" in Hollywood and could in turn be associated with being sexually active to influential teenagers wanting to be like their favorite actress. But either way I see it is, a parent shouldn't look down upon their child for being a teen parent its happened get over it, accept the fact that change is inevitable good or bad, and embrace the fact that the miracle of life is giving you a new addition to your family.

ok, sexydasha2009 needs to haver her fingers removed and her tongue cut out. or better yet, tie her tubes. that way she cant reproduce and make more little sl***!! american society is not yet ready for 15-17 year old girls to become pregnant. i'm noe saying that pre-marital sex is wrong, just be cautious and if the girl DOES get pregnant, GET AN ABORTION WITHIN A WEEK OF KNOWING!!!!!!!

People are so overrated these days get over your self .its 2008 not 1888

This points out what the religoNazis and the Republicans have done to this country. First, they get draconian laws passed that prevent teens from access to abortion services then they stick schools with this phony 'abstinence only' approach to sex ed. Planned Parenthood, which was about the only good place to get contraception and non-judgmental sex information has been demonized as baby killers and promoting teen promiscuity. We wag our societal fingers and say 'Tisk Tisk, you should have just said No.' to any teen that get pregnant. The social support system that would have provided them a way out has been completely dismantled by the religoNazis and the Republicans. So we are left with a bunch of teens who are just told to say No, who don't have access to contraception, who no longer have an alternative, and we wonder why there is a problem. When you vote Republican, you vote against your own best interests. And teen sex and pregnancy is living proof.

You know what I found interesting here, it seems as if this article is blaming movies like Juno and people like Jamie Lynn Spears for teenagers getting pregnant. This is not a new phenomenon and sure Juno is purely a fairytale, I don't think teens are watching and being influenced by that film. Teenage pregnancies have been around for decades if not centuries. And from I have read in the past, they powers that be are trying to legislate sex education out of schools all together.
It boils down to one thing and one thing only... PARENTS! Part of being a parent is to have those uncomfortable talk with your children. If you don't want your daughters to get pregnant, tell them to keep their legs close and if that isn't possible, then tell them that any boy that doesn't wish to use a condom, then that boy doesn't respect you in the first place. In fact no one should have unprotective sex unless they decide and actually get married. But I do know that girls have their heads in the clouds and think all is going to be a fairytale. Well stop reading them fairytales. There are no cinderallas, no snowwhites and that 15-60 minutes of fun stupidity is going to leave to a lifetime of headaches. But no one wants to have that talk, they want to leave it up to movies, magazines and television to educate their girls.
