[NEWS] Spears family screwed?

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

In a recent interview, it's been revealed that JAMIE-LYNN SPEARS is 12 weeks pregnant, at the mere age of 16. The father is a 19-year-old she met at church.

Thoughts?

It's just sad. No family, regardless of fame, deserves to go through difficulties like this.

Jamie-Lynn seemed quite happy about the baby news. It looks like she's gonna keep her baby and she's really positive about. Her mom seems quite alright with it too. Oh well, as long as she's happy I guess. But I think it's quite stupid of her though. Geez, she's just 16 years old. 16!

It's so ironic... she met the guy in a church. LOL.

You guys are surprised to see a girl who's 16 years old pregnant? As a doctor, I actually made an appointment to a 9-years old girl who was pregnant. Now that's what was surprising/shocking. 16 years old pregnant girls? I've lost the count of how many of those I had to give prenatal assistance

Also, who cares anyway? It's her life. She was careless, yeah, but w/e

Oh my god!!! A 9 year old girl pregnant. I think you're totally right, that really is shocking. Anyway, about Jamie Lynn, i know she's not 9 years old, but i don't think 16 is an approppiate age for having children. I'm not talking about sex (i'm not conservative at all), but it is a HUGE responsability.

However i'm glad she is staying with the baby, that makes her look much more responsable than her sister...

Yeah, I know it's not the appropriate age and should be discouraged...but here in Brazil it is so common, is not even shocking at all.

Children shouldn't be having children. A nine year old's body isn't even DEVELOPED to handle a child.

That makes Jamie-Lynn's nearing motherhood out and out normal.

I know. I'm not implying pregnancy at 9 years old is normal, that's actually really a serious problem. But a 16 years pregnancy isn't anything shocking in my opinion (I think people are overreacting to this), because almost all girls have already reached puberty and are fully grown up when they're 16 (I'm not saying grown up as in maturity, though, girls do mature faster than guys anyway). Of course it's better to avoid and prevent earlier pregnancies (even on 16) because they have their share of risks + the social problems related to the young mother physiology and behavior.

I agree with Bondie though but I'm use to 16 year-olds getting pregnant. I'm went to a school full of pregnant teenagers. I felt like a was at a hospital. Teenage pregnancy is high amoung African-Americans, so finding out that a girl is pregnant is a "yea, whatever!" with me.

I was surprised that Jamie is pregnant when I first heard about it because she always seems like a good girla nd never put herself in that situation. I'm over it and if she's happy with having a baby at a young age then fine by me. I going to look down on her thought because she should be a shamed of ending her "life" so short. I'ma selfish 18 year-old and I don't have time to take care of a child.

Did it reach already that far? X_X omg

[Lyra-Shini-Gami]

what she´s pregnant!? o,o

[bondingo]

I found this out yesterday and when I rushed to tell my brother he said, "Everyone was talking about that like a week ago".

I can't believe it though. She is absolutely too young. At least where I'm from, teenage pregnancy is extremely uncommon. A 16 year old found pregnant would be like the shocker of the century, so this is really surprising. That family really is screwed.

[sugarbasil]

...wasn't there already a post on this somewhere?

It's not our problem, and it's not that common in this day of age; but as a celebrity with her own TV show on Nickelodeon I think she should be a better role model. :/ How the heck did she even get that job in the first place?? She's a terrible actress. XP

My mum's 29 and I'm 14. You do the math. I don't see anything wrong with it really, if they decided they wanted to have a baby then so be it. It's their life.

[zoomzoom]

^ I doubt they "decided on it" ..

^ Hmmm, who knows? Or maybe she'll reveal it all for a large amount of money in a few days, in the magazines.

[zoomzoom]

^ maybe. I hope they can handle it though, for the sake of the child. It all depends on the person.. some 16 year olds can take better care of a child than some 30 year olds.

I don't think Jamie decided to have a baby...she just got knocked up by a 19 year old 'highschool sweetheart', and we allll know how the majority of those relationships end. I was watching Chelsea Lately last night and they said some pretty mean things about this! But I think Americans have become desensitized to a lot of stuff now, so nobody is really trying to help the teenage pregnancy issues, and it's huge. You'd think something like this would cause an uproar for major changes and making a point how education for these young women are ruined because they get pregnant too young and their lives change. Seen it happen to much when I was in highschool and I'd never see those girls again, and they become stay-at-home mothers ..American economy is really shot right now too, so having more babies isn't really helping, and now we have a role model to young girls getting pregnant...It's disappointing. Hopefully everyone will just brush the issue off as 'That crazy Spears family!' and not get influenced by this.

Sorry I rambled too much lol

I'm glad somebody can look deeper into the issue rather than only focusing on the "good x evil" + "role model" fairy tale crap that is shoved by media's sensationalism.

[Halla]

She has the means to take care of the baby, I'm pretty sure she has more money than the average american household. hasn't she been doing tv her whole teenage life? I heard she has been paid millions for her interviews.
She can have the baby, if that whats she wants then good luck for her & the baby I suppose.

I'm personally only againts teen pregnancies when the mothers don't have the means to properly take care of the baby. as long as the baby is fed & clothed & loved properly I don't really care if the how old the mum is ...

actually constant popularity growth benefits the economy, plenty of european countries (inlcuding mine) are facing major economical difficulties in the future because of the birth rate is negative
