maybe if lynn spears had exercised a little parental discretion or guidance with her girls, they wouldn't be in the messed up places they are now.

I, for one, didnt jump on her. I just asked the question.

Lynn Spears saw $$$ when her daughters became celebrities. Why else would you sell a story to a tabloid about your 16 year old getting pregnant?

There is no reason with the resources she has to have unprotected sex - she's not some ignorant hillbilly without book learnin' - and you'd think she'd have learned from Brit Brit's troubles with K-Fed that even if the guy loves you today, tomorrow might be a different story.

She's put a lot of people's jobs and livelihoods on the line with her irresponsible actions, from her costars right down to the makeup man and the guy who cleans the studio. When you're a star of a TV show, you can't just think about yourself.

Well, I have major mixed feelings regarding abortions, and I know several people who had them when they were high school/ college age more out of fear than because they really believed it was the best thing to do. I also have seen the way that teen mothers are treated while the baby daddy gets off free.

I doubt the paparazzi today would have let her drop out of sight for a while (like Loretta Young did in the 1940s) to have a baby.

And I think she is a 16 year old girl who has been thrust into an adult world (Hollywood) without much guideance. She has made the same mistake that plenty of 16 year old girls have made, only she is making it in public.

Very good point, it's hard to remember all the staff that work on her show that may also be affected by this...

You don't wait and get an abortion when you're 6 months along - there would have been no reason for anyone to know.

Exactly.

As several stars (like Natalie Portman) have stated, it's easier to be incognito and out of the public eye than a lot of "beseiged" celebrities make it seem. They just don't want to reveal the extent to which they collaborate with the magazines, TV and paparazzi.

Jamie Lynn could have done that. The focus is on her sister so much, she could have just discontinued her show and had the baby quietly. If you do things quietly the press doesn't make a big deal. If you go public with it like it's an extravaganza it's because you want it to be.

Oh Miss Lynne. *Shakes head* What are you thinking? We love you and you know you didn't start out like this! What's going on?

A Phi Mu sister works for a larger photo agency that feeds celeb photos to many of the gossip etc mags....she loves to tell about the "tips" they get that "Ms/Mr/Miss/Mrs-soon-to-be-not/etc/etc celeb-dujour" is going to be at the "name-your-spot".

It is all a put on...

Exactly. If Princess Eugenie of England was able to drop off the face of the earth for over a year while she recovered from scoliosis (sp? that teenage curvature of the spine problem), one would think that JL could have simularly disappeared. This all comes down to the worship of the almighty buck by the Spears family.

There is no reason with the resources she has to have unprotected sex - she's not some ignorant hillbilly without book learnin' - and you'd think she'd have learned from Brit Brit's troubles with K-Fed that even if the guy loves you today, tomorrow might be a different story.

If Britney doesn't whap her little sister upside the head and remind her what a PR problem she now has, she's not doing her duty as an elder sister. Oh wait - we're talking about the Spears! They don't have to do their duties!

She's put a lot of people's jobs and livelihoods on the line with her irresponsible actions, from her costars right down to the makeup man and the guy who cleans the studio. When you're a star of a TV show, you can't just think about yourself.

You get a huge AMEN from me on this point! I hope each of those who are about to be unemployed remind others WHY they are currently unemployed!

I don't even know what to say. What is wrong with that family?

Radio was saying today that the next season of Zoey (I think that is the name of JL's show?) has already been taped... so no one is sure if she's going to get the ax.

I think this is incredibly stupid, not just of her, or her mom, but also of the guy that she has been dating. He's 19. Doesn't he know it's illegal to have sex with a minor?

Click here for Perez Hilton's story on this 'morally upright... devot Christian 16-yr old with a spotless reputation'.... it's possible she might be more preggers than she is saying she is.....

We don't know for a fact that she had unprotected sex. Accidents happen. I know quite a few people who have gotten themselves knocked up while being completely careful.

I know it's hard for us to remember how we felt and thought as 14-16 year olds, but I think we can all agree that a 16 year old does not think as a mature adult. Sixteen year olds - most of them anyway - don't really grasp the full consequences of their actions. They go with their gut, their feelings, and don't reason the way adults do. Many teens - and young adults - have unprotected sex all the time. Not because they don't know any better, because "safe sex" education has been shoved down most of their throats, but because they just don't care. As insane as that is to adults, they just don't care...they're too busy thinking about the fun their having. We can only blame parents so much for the actions of their kids. When it comes to sex, I really think all a parent can do is make sure their kids have information and offer a supportive ear; some kids will heed the advice they've heard at home/in school, and others will blow it off. That is a bad decision that kids make for themselves, knowing what the consequences are, but just not caring enough to stop themselves from preventing the consequences.

Regarding the stat. rape comments, even if it's rape in Calif., the L.A. County prosecutor is not going to press charges. This is a celebrity, and everyone knows that celebs. in Hollywood have totally different dating/mating habits than "normal" people. This guy wasn't predatory, which is the primary reason for statuatory rape laws - J.L. Spears does not live the lifestyle of a typical teenage girl. Also, it's clear her mother at least knew about their relationship and was fine with it...even though charges are brought by the prosecutor, in the case of stat. rape, I don't think they'd often appear in a courtroom in the case where a parent has no complaints.

Aw jeez, look at her sweatshirt, it says class of 2009!! That probably really is when her HIGH SCHOOL class will be graduating. That's just effed up. Really.
