Are you in L.A. right now or Mississippi [Spears previously attended Parklane Academy, a private school in McComb, Miss.]?
I'm in L.A. right now, but I've been going back and forth.

So school hasn't started yet?
I already started. I'm home-schooled. This is my first year to ever home-school. [Spears explained that she's taking her class by online correspondence.]

How's the change going for you?
It's different. I'm kind of missing out on some parts. I have to call the teachers and ask them what I'm doing, so I have to get used to that. But other than that everything is fine.

What's your favorite subject so far?
Probably personal health, which teaches you stuff that you need to know about your health, like exercise. It's an elective, but still it's cool.

I know you were involved in cheerleading and baseball before. Are you missing that?
I just go home and hang out with my friends, but I don't have to sit in a classroom for seven hours each day. I'm the kind of person who has to be doing something. It's actually working out better for me.

Are you thinking about any post-high school plans? Maybe college?
I want to graduate from high school and go out and do movies. I want to then go back to school when I feel like I'll be safe, study whatever I want and educate myself on whatever I want.

    GIVE JAMIE A BREAK! You don't know what celebrities face... yeah sure she has money, fame, fans and many other things but she also has people breathin down her neck! STOP JUDGING HER! I ain't a celebrity an neither are YOU! You don't know what they face.... there are good sides of being celebrity and a bad side. It ain't easy being a celebrity... Jamie's got enough stress as it is and people like you that have no feelings and like to give people like her crap shows how selfish you are. It was her choice on to have sex and I understand if she has been a role model to yonger people but at least she's doing the right thing of keeping the baby. People like you say its a mistake having a baby is like saying "I don't like you cause you have a kid, that was a mistake you did and I'm discussted. You make me sick, your a bad example." and is also like saying "Just for making one mistake or something your a BAD person!" WHICH IS NOT TRUE! Just cause she does that it dosen't make her a bad person! She ain't perfect, no one is! I betcha anything you ain't perfect to and I bet you make mistakes everyday! STOP JUDGING HER!
