God, the poor, dumb child. Her mother should have taken her to a secrety abortion clinic and gotten rid of it before it ruined her daughter's life and career. But then this is the woman who raised these girls to be the way they are, Britney especially. She robbed her of a childhood to make her a star and I really wonder if it was worth it to her.
The best Jamie Lynn can hope for is to fade into obscurity and be a decent mom. But I won't hold my breath because she has no role models.

16 + pregnant *is* pretty stupid roughly 99% of the time it happens. That doesn't necessarily mean that the parent(s) won't wise up and take parenthood seriously. Sometimes they do. Most of the time they don't. Sure, it's just as stupid as other things adults do, but that doesn't somehow bring up the curve of "stupid" to something approaching "good". It's just all stupid.
As for not being judged by Britney's actions, fine--but getting knocked up at 16 is nothing to be proud of. It's a good thing that her family is supportive and that she has the means to take care of the kid. However, so does Britney, and look how that trainwreck is turning out.
Frankly, the last thing that family needs is another baby born to a mother who can't seem to keep her shit together, money be damned. I am the last person in the universe to point a finger and play the "Sex is bad" card, but come on! Both the Spears girls have spent their entire lives in the limelight and, clearly, damn little in school and learning how to deal with life like a normal adult. Both of them could have benefited from a lot more parenting and a year or two in college, instead of being allowed to run wild and ruining their lives at such young ages. Guess that's just what money does to people.

<---- 16+pregnant=stupid.
Altho I did raise my daughter well and am a great parent I still dont condone it. If my daughter got pregnant at 16 Id be the most hypocritical bitch youve ever met.
As per the whole Spears thing. Is anyone really surprised?

Well, it's what money does to dumb people, that's for sure. Plenty of other people with money handle it beautifully.
Mrs. Spears used her kids as meal tickets and in the process, ruined their lives and her own. Taking your kids and trying to make them famous is a bullshit way to go about raising them. That's all she made Britney's young life about, and Jamie Lynn's too, from the looks of it. That's all those girls were taught was important. It's not any suprise that they are in trouble.

I should've said, "Guess that's just what money does to some people." There are a few kids who become famous and don't go off the deep end. But it seems like those who take the deepest dives are the ones whose parents are driving their fame. The Spears, the Simpsons (granted....they're probably the most normal at this point), the Culkins, the Hogans, the Osbournes.

I think child stardom fucks people up. Just watch one of those E specials about it and you see the same patterns cropping up. Parental greed tops the list.
The Simpson dad creeps me the fuck out. What kind of dad pimps out his daughter's tits like he does? Ick. And the Culkin dad was certainly greedy, taking all of Mac's money and shit. What a bunch of fucked up people. It makes me grateful to come from just a basic dysfunctional family.;D
I know the Hogans are getting a divorce, but their kids seem ok. Yeah, the son got in a bad car accident, but I don't think that's a character defect. And the Osbourne kids aren't poster children for MENSA, but they seem to be doing ok.

She's a seperate person from her sister. I'm deeply glad that I'm not judged by the mistakes my sister makes (and there have been plenty).
I'm also grateful for how supportive and helpful people have been to me about accidentily getting knocked up. Its not easy for anyone to deal with, celebrity or not.

Can we bring back furbies or something to distract people? Kids should not be fashionable.
;D This just cracked me up. Probably because I only got about 4 hrs sleep thanks to my little fashion accessory.
As for the people who think we shouldn't judge her. Birth control is everywhere these days, "accidental pregnancies" really amuse. I'm gonna feel free to judge since I managed to not get knocked up till I damn well wanted to.

Lynne Spears tells OK!: “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious. She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.”
I like this quote...because APPARENTLY you can only get pregnant AFTER curfew. ;)
She COULD be a good mom...but look at her role models...chances are, she'll just walk in their shoes.

This is true. But you also aren't 16, living with a 19 year old, with a crazy mom. I hope! You seem like a smart chick who had an oops.

Shrug. It'll all work out fine. For instance, Jamie will make some money on the sex tape she and her bf made.

I don't think 16 with a 19 year old is that horrible. It's 3 years, a 19 year old boy isn't really that much different than a 16 year old girl. I had a great relationship with a 21 year old when I was 16-17.
I know here my 17 year old friend got pregnant by a 24 year old and the mother wanted to press charges, but the stae told her she couldn't do anything because 16 was the age of consent, and unless she was raped it was legal.

It isnt necessarily her age that is a concern...though 16 doesnt always = good parent.
It's her genetics. She's a Spears...her mom wasnt a good mom, her sister had her kids taken away..she MIGHT be the one holdout that raises her kid right...but the fact that she got herself knocked up at 16 points towards following the rest of the family trends.
And the fact that they are using this to generate publicity(I mean really...how many interviews is her mom going to do???) doesnt bode well.

12-19-2007, 09:56 AM
^^Since its Jamie Lynn we're talking about, I'm sure a 19-year old doesn't seem that much older than her. She's been living an "adult" life for quite some time now.
And 16 living with a boyfriend?!????? What the fuck was her mom thinking being OK with that?? I hope Jamie-Lynn doesn't have that damn Michael Jackson Syndrome that Britney has.....having babies so she can vicariously live through their childhoods she didn't have, then resorting to acting like a child. Jamie-Lynn seems nice, but once upon a time Britney was normal too

In most situations I'd say the parent should take over and get it taken care of. But in this case, I don't think her mom is any better equipped to make her choices than Jamie Lynne. They're just hillbillies who happened to get lucky. I guess Jamie Lynne wasn't smart enough to see what was right in front of her.

You honestly think a parent should force their kid to have an abortion? I realize that many teens arent equipped to raise a child...but forcing something like that on someone...could have serious mental(not to mention physical..there is always the possibility for complications)problems for the kid down the line.
I agree that a parent could HELP the kid make the decision by presenting her with the possible consequenses of any decisions...but not force. Never force.

Maybe they DID use a condom, or she was on the pill. It never said she was having unprotected sex. I went to school with lots of girls who had been on the pill/using a condom and still got knocked up.
Only abstinence is %100 effective, ladies! :D

Well, I was forced into an abortion and had no bad consequences. BUT it seems Janie Lynn had already made her decision by the time she told family. I had just found out and mom made an appointment for 2 days later. I didnt even have time to think.
BUT when I got pregnant at 16 I had my mind made up (just like JL) and theres no way you could have forced me into abortion. Believe me, my mom tried and she flipped out. My dad about killed me. It was a horrible situation.
It all really depends on the situation.
I really hope Jamie takes her sister as a figure to NOT follow and does well by this baby. I also hope (pray) that she stays with this boyfriend and away from her mother. I have a feeling her at 16 and him at 19 will do better raising this child than the adult figures in her life did/are doing (mom and Brit)

I agree.
As long as the boyfriend is good to her and the baby, I hope she stays with him too.
I think while her Mom TRIED to be a decent mother, somehow something got fucked up somewhere along the line. My feelings tell me it a lot has to do with their dad.
At least Jamie has the financial means to provide for her child and can hire help from a baby nurse, nanny, etc. I pray that she keeps her head together and can be a responsible, loving parent.
And I really hope Jamie NEVER sends the baby to stay with Aunt Brit Brit!!!! Good God!

Honestly, the thought of forcing a girl to go through an abortion is an extremely scary thought to me. I can't imagine someone shoving something up my vagina to end my pregnancy against my consent whether I'm 25 or 16.

I'm not suggesting doing anything by physical force. But as a parent (well, a good one, anyway) you should be able to get your child to come around to your way of thinking. Because when a 16-year-old has a baby it's the grandma who ends up raising it for the most part. And in that case I think the parent has every right to get that child to the clinic by any means necessary. I'm not above bribery.
In this case the decision has been made. No one is forcing Jamie Lynn into anything. Decent parenting for the past 16 years.........well hell, for the last 25 years (however old Brit is) could have prevented this whole situation from happening.
What kind of parent lets their teenage daughter shack up with a guy? Hell, what kind of parent plays backstage mom so that her kids can get famous, make tons of money, and set her up for life. Those kids are nothing more than a meal ticket and a chance for Mrs. Spears to live vicariously through their stardom. It makes me sick.
Did Britney or Jamie Lynn go through school in any meaningful way? I'm sure they did enough back stage tutoring to get by, but obviously neither has any kind of education. It's pitiful. You can have all the money in the world, but not being educated it is a serious handicap.
What a trainwreck.

Im going to leave this thread after posting this but... the only 'help' i got from MY parents was a place to live and food because I was not 18 and they had 2 choices - that or kick me out. I had to sign up for WIC and subsidized childcare. I had to get up with her every 2 hours. I had to get her ready and take her to daycare so I could go to school. I then went to work and picked her up in the evening. My mom would 'babysit' maybe 1-2 times a month for a few hours (less than she takes her now) I was then kicked out of the house as soon as I turned 18.
Just because a 16 year old has a baby does not mean all of a sudden grandma becomes mother.
Andygirl
12-19-2007, 10:28 PM
That's great that you did it on your own like that, but you have to know that you are the exception to the rule. I've known an awful lot of children who were raised by grandparents. Whether it was kids I went to school with and grew up with, or women who took custody of their child back once they got their partying out of their systems (at age 25 or 30). It happens more often than not.
In some cultures it's not really even discouraged because many cultures have the "it takes a village" mentality when it comes to raising kids. And yes, I think mothers of any age need help with a newborn. But when it comes to a 16-year-old it becomes really easy to farm the kid out to whoever will take it because most of them simply are NOT ready for the responsibility of parenthood.
I'm not making this shit up. It's true. When I'm less sleepy tomorrow I'll try to find links to some studies that have been done.
And again, it's great that you did what you had to do to take care of your child. You should be proud of that.
AudreyLeigh
12-19-2007, 10:39 PM
Im not arguing. I dont need links. I was stating a fact. And I have to say about 1/2 the teen moms at my school had it like me while the other 1/2 like you mentioned.
All I was stating is that not ALL teen moms pawn their children off. Thats all.

On JLS, though, I'm a little surprised she publicly admitted it. I don't know whether to feel as if she's brave or that it's a publicity stunt.
Shes getting a cool mill for the first baby pics when its born. Esp considering the family...I'm betting unplanned but welcome publicity stunt

True, nothing is 100% foolproof except for abstinence. But my guess is that she wasn't on any sort of birth control. Don't you think she would've mentioned it if she was, in order to show that she was trying to be responsible?
Yes, having unprotected sex is not smart, but I think she's going to get way more negative attention than she deserves because of her older sister. I'm really not one to judge her because I got accidentally knocked up at age 27.
Lots of celebs these days have babies out of wedlock and no one talks nearly as much shit about them, and I bet many of those babies were not planned. Remember when Brandy the singer had a kid and then made up a lie about being married in order to protect her reputation? I think that's worse than the Jamie Lynn situation-at least Jamie Lynn is being honest.
I'm not condoning what she did and I do think she made a big mistake, unfortunately one that will have a huge impact on the rest of her life. But I think Jamie Lynn is going to get the shit talking a lot worse than other celebs because of her big sister and because of her young age.

Yep, I'm going to have to agree with a few of you. It "seems" as though she's trying to go about this responsibly and be smart about it all.
No, getting pregnant at 16 is not a great idea. But it's done better by worse people so...who knows, maybe she'll pull it off okay.
And seriously, the little girl is nothing like her sister so far. (Except for being pregnant and that's not a talent exclusive to dipshits).
Id like to see her grow into a smart, healthy, loving mom, using her sister as a guide of what NOT to do. In fact, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it.

It just sucks that she wasn't ALOT more careful. She had alot ahead of her. And I say this in past tense because her career is screwed. Nickelodeon is going to drop her because she's not being a positive role model and she'll always be type cast as that innocent teeny bopper and you can't cast someone who has tainted that image.
