[NEWS] Spears family screwed?

[Calico]

There are so many things I want/could say about this, but knowing me, it's best I just kept my mouth shut.

Love to "the_angel_song" though. I was thinking a lot of that as well.

[Syphex]

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

Off topic, but I've always wanted to say this: I never really got why the majority of industrialized Europe never considered mass outsourcing or immigration. You have a negative birth rate in countries like Sweden and Japan and yet there's still way too many children coming out of countries like India and the continent of Africa. The population is declining here, but the global birthrate is still sky-high.

Did it reach already that far? X_X omg

haha i have a friend who had her first baby when she was 16...so this doesn't shock me much...She said she was keeping the baby, so hooray for her! Ive always loved Jamie...her role on All That back when she was on there was hilarious...

[Kikaru]

Well, I hope she's a better mother than Britney, that's all I can say. (no offense britney, but your mothering skills isn't exactly something to boast)

I guess it could come as a shock, even when you see it everyday or hear about it. And the sad thing is, this issue is not really looked upon hard enough.

[Chibi_Venus]

I heard about this at school. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!

Yeah I hate Nickelodeon these days. In fact I hated that Zoey 101 show since it first started. I cant stand Jamie's accent. >.< What happened to the old shows? Anyway...

[LacusClyne]

it's not that surprising though, since her sister had already done worse. at least she seem more responsible then her sister, hopfully she will take good care of her kid.

[JesA]

^ yea and not feed it cheetos and leave it with the nanny while she goes clubbing

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

Pregnant at 16... Same age as me and my friends and i can't imagine them being pregnant, still so childish rofl.

[stickyrice]

again - things happen and we can't blame her for that. They're making such a big deal because

A) she's 16 (which isn't really shocking - so many teenagers are sexually active nowadays)
B) She's part of the Spears family.

Heck there's some things I certainly regret right now that I shouldn't have done...

Anyways, wish her the best and good luck to her.

[Neo Daydream]

not suprising... and thatz sad...

i heard brittany and Jamie Lynn's mom was writing a book on parenting and after the info about the baby on the way, the plug was pulled on that lol

[ayumixfan]

UGH its disgusting how much attention this is getting. She is pregnant and she's 16 so what >_> Why is the media so focused on this junk. There are so many pregnancies now at the age of 16. Why not focus on the overall population about this topic rather than Jamie.

[Mitkki]

I heard about this on the radio a couple months back. Zoey 101 can't be pregnant. Way to kill your acting career Jamie.
And all Britney could say is "Get on the Pill, y'all"

Even though it may not be 'shocking' I don't believe getting pregnant at 16 in that kind of society should be 'accepted.'

At least those cartoons didn't go around having sex and getting pregnant while being underage at the same time.

[CHE.R.RY]

Haha and Jamie is supposed to be an idol for all these kids...and she turns around and does something like that. Wow, I feel sorry for the Spears family...they're all messed up...

^ And I agree with you Mitkki

What did you expect? For her to make a full article speech on the consequences of earlier pregnancy? For her to reprehend her sister in public? She was clear and straight to the point: this is the solution for this problem. And that's what it is, she's right there. Simple and clear.

Yay for prejudice!*sarcasm*
It's not a matter of being "accepted". It should be prevented, but once it happens, you can't go and throw stones on girls who get pregnant earlier. Marginalization is actually one the huge problems related to this matter, and should be discouraged because all it does is make this problem worse than it already is.

At least those cartoons didn't go around having sex and getting pregnant while being underage at the same time.

Do you live on planet Earth? Or if you do, do you actually breath oxygen through a big bubble or have you ever seen sunlight? Anyway, violence is a much WORSE problem than teenage pregnancy, not too mention many of those cartoons encourage terrible hygiene habits. And it's not like she displayed on TV all the stages she went through in order to get pregnant for the public. That's a very unrealistic point of view there.

yeah! anyway, media is focused in this junk because they know the average citizen loves circus shows and to feast on other disgraces. Unfortunately, it sells.

i was on the train this morning going to school when i see this guy next to me, and he had a newspaper and it said that jamie's boyfriend now wants to marry her, lol.

[Syphex]

Impact, you're from Brazil...abortion is banned there because of catholic influence, right?

Even though it may not be 'shocking' I don't believe getting pregnant at 16 in that kind of society should be 'accepted.'

unfortunately, you have no say or right to dictate upon on others, as harsh as it is. It feels good to have a god-complex on how people should run their lives, because you feel as if you're making their lives better. you're not. sorry.

What I mean by the economy in the U.S, Halla, is that for these young girls getting pregnant by young men and leaving their education to take care of their baby makes it very hard for them to place better jobs when they get older. (....) It's not fair to them or their children who have to live off of really cheap food and live in more dangerous neighborhoods. But that's what happens when my society ignores ongoing problems like that.

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. (...) ..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.

She has the means to take care of the baby, I'm pretty sure she has more money than the average american household.

means to take care of the baby, I'm pretty sure she has more money than the average american household.

I'm pretty sure she has more money

she has more money

more money

oh my god.

what I just read is the beginning of the string of small, inconsolable excuses where we can somehow use factors like income and education to justify an inevitable and eventual (governmental) control on what is and has been taken as a fundamental biological right.

...the subconscious desire of a society where children are born in the ideal circumstances. what you have unknowingly unearthed is a very scary political issue where we will have to one day deal with the technical process of who can have children and who cannot, because you feel as if certain people should not have children. do you see where this is going, and the bigger issue outside teenage pregnancy? you give the gov't power over your base biological existence, and they can do anything. and they will, because you just demonstrated how you want to control the populace for the benefit of THE AMERICAN ECONOMY

there is no end once it begins. a poor woman of 17 has every right to have as many children as she wishes as does a woman of 30. I understand the problems that come with this, mainly irresponsibility on the poor woman's fault. but I also see the problems that come with DICTATING MORALITY

she gets the attention because She's Britney Spears's sister. I don't see how the media will be interested in her, if her sister wasn't that BIG

I don't know if this was sarcasm, extreme assumptions, or...wow. Don't twist my words to prove some wacked out future that might arise from statements I made about countless situations young mothers face in my country. I was hoping people could see through my posts that I wanted governmental action on making a point to educate the younger generations about the reality of getting pregnant so young, because they sure as hell don't in the places I lived. You want to know why? Because it's 'taboo' to talk about birth control pills and protection so openly in school, just because the subject matter Shame, shame, shame.

Maybe this different perspective will shed some light?
