zoey 101 is preggers

Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's 16-year-old sister  and star of Zoey 101, is pregnant.

I was just watching Zoey 101 the other day with my 11-year-old daughter and I commented something like, "I bet Jamie Lynn's going to become bigger than Britney...I bet she's going to be the one we remember...she seems like the smart, stable one..."

Boy, was I wrong. Looks like another Spears Girl is sabotaging her own future.  This is what happens when little girls grow up too soon -- and don't feel loved.

Okay, I'm not going to check back here so I hope you have my e-mail. I'm venting my frustration at you because I don't have an opportunity to do it elsewhere, and you were mentioned in the Yahoo article @ http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/family-relationships/articles/parenting/cp/home_family-how_do_you_break_the_news_about_zoey_to_a_10-year-old_
which I'm usre they would have asked you for permission about.

The fact of the matter is, there is nothing wrong with being a 16-year-old or otherwise young mother. Nor is there anything to hide from your childre about sex, as studies have shown time and time again that ignorance of the facts of life is the main thing that encourages children to conceive early; pick up STDs. Do you know what the infection rate for the sexually active younger demographic is for STDs right now? It's 70-80%! (HPV)

But when the rate's like that, even monogamous married couples have to worry. It's not just an STD. You can pick it up anywhere, like getting a yeast infection. It's not a reason to discourage people from intimate contact. I can't tell you how irreparably harmed I was by the prudes around me; the downturn my life took because I didn't reach out for what was offered to me.

You're not going to get young people to stop making love; it's a beautiful experience. And it's instinctual and natural and they have every right. I'm totally in favour of protection, as is every sane person, but realistically it can't stop other types of transmission, ie non genital-genital contact.

Your judgement is mistaken. It's a beautiful thing that the daughter is pregnant and you shouldn't shy back from explaining it.

There's nothing stupid or unstable about it.

Otherwise you wouldn't have your own daughter, no?

It's all about family support, or having the resources to raise a child. I don't think that's an issuee in this case. One of my friends who was a bully in elementary and middle school ended up a dad, mostly a single dad by age 15. He rose to the challenge; it briings maturity and love.

Don't disparage. Love.
Anyway, judgement is very selfish and reflects on no one but yourself. Leave Britney alone! As Chris Crocker said. He's beautiful too. What right have you to comment on anyone's life? Just because someone's famous doesn't mean they're not a human being. Would you really want people judging you, the same way?

I assure you, no.

Rob,

I appreciate your well thought out comments. But I don't want to get into an argument about this.

I merely blogged my first response to this news and the AP picked it up. Jamie Lynn herself has said that she is taking responsibility for her actions but that she doesn't think this is the ideal way to start a family.

I merely think that "kids should be kids." They shouldn't be supporting their families through showbiz careers. Parenting is difficult under any circumstance...but I imagine it's more difficult when you're still a child yourself.

I'm sure that Jamie Lynn will love her baby. Just as I'm sure that Britney loves her boys. I just hope both the Spears girls realize that they don't have to earn their parents love by being rich and famous.
