Jamie Lynn Spears was a popular actress with a promising career with an even more famous sister, Britney Spears. Now, Britney has had her fair share of problems that have been emphasized in the public eye but some people may not remember when Jamie got pregnant at 16. Jamie Lynn had gotten pregnant at a very young age and due to this her career died.
There was definitely many opinions about her pregnancy, most being negative. I completely understand the comments that were criticizing Jamie because it seemed like she was condoning teen pregnancy, which is not what a role model for young children should be portrayed as. Although I am more negative about that situation I do understand and respect her own opinion. She was trying to live her life and make the choices she wants and just be a kid. She acknowledges that she made a mistake, yet this was something that couldn't be undone.
Jamie Lynn Spears became a mother in 2007 at the age of 16. Many people said that she was glamorizing teen pregnancy/teen moms. I truly believe that being pregnant at 16 and having a negative effect on kids was not on her "to do list." She does care for her daughter very much and is trying to be the best mom ever, like other mothers out there. They all try to provide the best life for their child/ren and love them to pieces, so the only thing that makes a difference in this situation is the age.
I do agree with most people that it was not the most conscientious idea in the world, but what's done is done and all that matters is that little Maddie is having a good upbringing. A not-so-critical article this time, but nonetheless from Fame to Shame Jamie Lynn Spears has gone from teen star to teen mom.

No matter what happens, I think I will always want the show, Zoey 101, to still be on TV. Whether or not some may believe she was a good idol for teen pregnancy, for me personally I do not really care much about celebrities lives, what they do , wear or even if they gave birth , like in this case. But I would care, on the other hand, if in the future for my daughter, if she was influenced to follow in Jamie's footsteps, where she became pregnant at a young age > then I'd be affected negatively.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I've seen the show a couple times when babysitting my little sister, and I can see why kids and parent would have a negative outlook on this. But what 16 year old girl, with a acting career wants a child? Like most teen pregnancies, it was probably a mistake, everyone makes them.
