The sad part is this is reality. you couldn't write a better story. Nut jobs sister gets pregnant her mom should write a parenting book, hilarious.

You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl!

Thanks for posting that. Sounds fair enough to me. Regardless to it being an underage pregnancy I felt kinda creeped out to hear people calling a 16 year old a whore and a slut. Yes, she has clearly made a mistake, but it just doen't feel right to trash the girl. Money or not, at that age I imagine many young girls are scared to death once the reality of what they're about to take on settles in.

I also imagine people would still be willing to call her evrything under the sun had it leaked that she had an abortion instead...in a case like this, this young girl is going to get ripped by the public no matter what her choice would have been. That feels unsettling to me for some reason

I was thinking the same thing! My food 4 thought is Maybe they should update legal ages now. Children are more capable of taking on Adult responsibilities (certainly doing so anyway) Maybe if those responsibilities become real by legal age law, younger people will think before they take on the world.

16 to become legal and 18 to legally drink.
Save parents headaches from rebellious children who now have to be responsible for their own actions.

I don't think you're wrong. I'd still watch her Zoey character on Nick with my girls and say "I like the choices these kids are making" (on this pretend tv show, lol). It's a decent show, even much more level-headed than Hannah Montana or iCarly or the skads of other crap kids' shows.

Which makes it especially sad that they're gonna give Zoey the boot now! Heaven help those kids.

For that matter, why doesn't the world just get off the Spears kids' asses already. As someone mentioned already, I can't imagine anybody enduring the nonstop public scrutiny they do and not cracking under the pressure.

how is she becoming like britney, cause she's prgnant at 16? they are different

abigail05 said:

They chose to step into the spotlight. They should know how to deal.

VoicesCarry said:

Oh please, I don't remember La Toya or Janet walking around 12 weeks preggers at 16. I'd rather have weirdness in the family instead of teen-aged pregenacy.

No shit. I'm not talking about pregnancy, I'm talking about tabloid fodder.

TonyVanDam said:

Admittedly I don't really follow Britney news, but I had no idea there was a brother. And this older brother was not "pimped out" into show business, but instead got a college education,huh? And he's never in the news...I'm presuming he doesn't run around flashing his junk, acting like an idiot, or impregnating girlfriends. Very interesting.

On one hand I think that makes a very good case for going to school and getting an education. But on the other hand, I don't like what I'm seeing as a kind of "old fashioned" attitude in the whole situation. The girls' (Jamie & Brit) worth is based on superficial looks and not so much talent, while the guy is sent to college. Why couldn't they pimp out the brother and sent the girls to college?

Seems kinda sexist to me.

Your point being?

My gosh. Hormone-happy teens can meet anywhere...

Exactly, that's the price of fame. You can handle it, stay home.

In Rolling Stone mag (the cover where Brit was on the silk bed with Tinky Winky and a telephone) the brother is laying on the floor looking up at Britney dancing. I'm pretty sure.

Isn't she like 14 years old?

16

Thank you!!! I'm sick of people using that,'they have to live their lives under a spotlight' excuse for these people. I'm not their PR person; they aren't paying me to kiss their asses, whip up their little mistakes, and lie for them. Even if they were, I'd still tell them they were wack-a-doos and idiots...yep, I'd be fired the first day LOL. Sorry, but I call it as I see it and they are both being total fucking 'tards at the moment and need to be called out on it. Why did this idiot even say anything to a magazine about being pregnant? She could have gone to Louisiana until the baby was born and nobody would have been the wiser; but nooooo, she had to open that hole on her face and tell the world she's scared. She wasn't too scared about the consequences of what could happen when she was bumpin' pelvises with her boyfriend, now was she? I know they teach sex ed before you turn 16...shit, they probably offer the morning after pill in the nurse's station nowadays. There's no dictator forcing them to do what they do, so they can stop being publicity whores whenever they want to. They chose to get under that spotlight and remain in it; and, it devoured them because they couldn't handle it. Life's a bitch and then you die, so get over it, or fall under it. There are too many other child stars who aren't doing this stupid shit for me to blame the media for the scrutiny they are receiving. Sure, they need to leave these two idiots alone, but not for the Spears' to have peace of mind; no, for the rest of us who are tired of looking at two dumb twats who were lucky enough to get millions of dollars by doing nothing more than being over-paid puppets. I feel for all these poor kids, because as Britney has made it soo clear money doesn't make someone a good parent. Oh, and I wasn't having sex when I was 16...too afraid of being murdered by my parents if they found out. They would have beaten that baby out of me.

If my professional life was based so much on my image, I probably wouldn't have been having sex at 16, much less without a condom.

VoicesCarry said:

Well that's what I'm talking about what's truly worse? Tabloid fodder or another underaged teen pregnant? Personally I'd take tabloid fodder anyday..

purplesweat said:

That good ol' double standard rears it's head yet again. It takes 2 to make a baby, even by accident.


Lord, though. 16? I'm 22 and I can't even begin to imagine having a child now. I'm simply too irresponsible, nevermind dead broke.

They're saying the father might be in legal trouble because he's 19 and she's 16. The legal age in her hometown Louisiana is 17.

Ru-roh!

abigail05 said:

If they can't stand the heat,they should get out of the kitchen.Go live on a quiet farm somewhere,far away from the phoniness of Tinseltown and the media.Nobody is forcing them to go through all this bullshit.

Exactly. They are modern day Beverly Hillbillies.

jamie lynn won't press charges they are(or were) dating and she'll be 17 in april so.... idk but i think they should just leave him alone, people are acting like he raped her.
