Jamie Lynn; Baby's Daddy is not who he seems.

[Diego440]

Do you think that has to do with choosing not to have sex or choosing not to have children? Remember, I'm separating the issues here; rather than many people who are lumping the two activities together.

In Keef's case, there's no choice going on.

What's wrong with you people?

Sixty responses until someone says, "Oops, I did it again"?

Why does this only happens in America and not everywhere else?

It does happen everywhere else, kid. Every other nation in the world has teenagers that get knocked up, whether it makes headlines or not. It happens because teenagers worldwide get bored of everything but daydreaming about sex.

 

[SolidSnake15]

The reason no one said "Oops, I did it again," is because This is Jamie Lin's first time.

Give her 10 months then you'll hear "Oops, I did it again!"

 

[G.T]

Yeah, getting knocked up if you're not ready is dumb. And that is her (and his) one mistake. As someone already said: **** happens. As long as they take responsibility for what happened, what's the problem? There are plenty worse things celebrities do.

But now she's some kind of repugnant and morally reprehensible person because she was... (gasp) having sex at 16? Oh noes! Without being married

Gimme a break Like any of you guys would pass that up at 16 (presuming it were legal in your state).

And if you did, it would be a personal choice, like not taking sugar in your coffee.. not something that makes you a better person.

QFT.

If her sister didn't have the huge amount of attention she already has, this "mistake" wouldn't have received near as much publicity already.

 

[OpheliaMontague]

In Australia, 16 is legal. She's still very young, but she should be old enough to handle herself if she chooses to keep the baby. Especially with all the help she'll have with a family like her's.

My Mum is a pregnancy councellor/educator for young girls (under 21) and it's hardly a lack of education that gets most of these girls into the situation they're in. No contraception is 100%. There's no point in saying "she should have been on the pill," or "they should have used a condom" because you don't know they didn't. They could have used both and just been really unlucky. The pill is incredibly unreliable by itself and everyone knows that a condom can break. The only guaranteed way to never get pregnant is to just not have sex. Sex isn't dirty, and it's not something you should be ashamed of doing. It's just not taken seriously enough by alot of people.

She shouldn't be judged as unfit to be a mother just because her sister is messed up. That has nothing to do with her. Mum came home with a sad story a few weeks ago about one of her young clients (14 years old.) She'd been looking forward to having her baby for ages, Mum says she's a really mature, responsible girl and would make a great mum. But she has abusive parents, so child welfare took her baby away from her before she was even given a chance to prove herself as a mother, simply because her own parents are horrible. It's really unfair but there's nothing she can do about it.

But still you have sex and still you use contraceptives, right? I'm not directing the question at you, just a rhetorical way. Or just because you're afraid to get pregnant you choose never to have sex, until such a time arrives?

 

[Skid Mark 33]

Of course she will think it is a good idea to get pregant at 16, she is a member of the Spears familly after all. However, she won't feel so clever when her tits drop will she!

Hmmm... a bit questionable there, Skid Mark 33. I wouldn't say that.

I saw her in the papers yesterday, and already she's a wreck, the strain seeming to show on the outside from inside.

Interestingly, a story of 2 men being held hostage is behind Jamie Lynn Spears' story on Google Search.

Some how I just have problems with your post. It's like your taking the blame off the two parties. At 16 hell... 14 NOBODY should be having sex. Nobody here has even thought about that at 14 or 16 they haven't even started or finished HS. How are they going to be able to bring up a kid let alone themselves!?

16 is the legal age for consent (male and female) in the United Kingdom also. So, overall, I'm not bothered that a 16 year old girl is pregnant.


Incidentally, to all of this "only in America" nonsense, three 11 year old girls (ELEVEN - yes, ELEVEN. 5 less than 16) gave birth (gave birth - yes, GAVE BIRTH. 9 months afer getting pregnant in the first place) in my home city of Sheffield last year alone. That's something more worth getting outraged about.

Only in pre-Victorian England, girls could be married at nine (NINE) and have their second kids before eleven. It's all a matter of perspective.

My whole post was basically making the point that getting pregnant at 16 isn't the worst thing that could happen. You all seem to outraged, but its not an unusual situation at all. Becoming a mother at an early age doesn't make her trashy, especially if she's chosen to accept the responsibility and keep the baby, when she could have very easily gone and had it aborted without anybody even knowing.

Also, there are other ways to avoid pregnancy than using contraception/pill. If a woman knows her body well enough, there is a pretty big period of time in each menstral cycle with allows you to have sex unprotected with no fear of pregnancy. The Catholic Church has been teaching this method for years.

At 14, ALOT of people are having sex. I know where you're coming from, I was still into pokemon and bike riding at 14 (I matured slowly ) and it was the last thing on my mind, but it was definately on other people's. They're not always alone when this happens, they usually have the support of their parents and SOMETIMES the man sticks around.. I always get so mad when I hear of men running off on their pregnant girlfriends. She didn't do it by herself, but she ends up with all the responsibility. I admire a girl who at 14 decides to accept the consequences for her actions. It doesn't mean her life has been ruined, its just going to be very different to what she probably had planned. I see some of Mum's clients one or two years after having their babies and they say they'd never change what happened, even though it was the tougher option.

 

[V1P3R]

Both of you seemed to miss my point. Sure physically it's easy to have the kid but at any TEEN age they aren't fit to be parents financially or mentally. Tell me how is a 16 yr old suppose to raise a kid when she is still a kid herself and probably doesn't know how to take care of herself?? That's what I ment by responsibility.

 

[OpheliaMontague]

You'd be suprised how fast a kid can grow up when they land themselves in a very adult situation. I'm not sure where you're from, but in Australia at least the government will help them if nobody else will.

 

[V1P3R]

Well of course... we can't be fooling around since were talking about a life now. Anyway, I'm in the US... Kalifornya to be exact. So, yeah... she's on her own here. Well anyone that isn't Britney's sister anyway.

 

[Gil]

Amazingly, this has turned into a "bash Jamie-Lynn" seminar.
When it should/could be a "damn I should be careful where I put my penis" seminar.

It is no secret that sexual intercourse is the number one cause of pregnancy.
It makes me glad that I'm the father of daughters.
It seems the general consensus is "Ohh, I hope I can hit that too, before she get's pregger fat."

Maybe, we should be talking/thinking about "safe-sex" practices. It ain't no joke being a parent at 21. It's less so at 16. Even if you are financially ready, only the exceptional person is emotionally ready to let go of their "freedom" so early to take on the job of raising a kid.
Maybe if so many kids weren't having kids, us "older" folks wouldn't be lamenting how fouled up young people are today.

It's been a while since I ended a post this way, but here goes:

Here endeth the rant.

Well there you go, they have dropped already, along with her common sense!

 

[Casio]

I'm not sure where you're from, but in Australia at least the government will help them if nobody else will.

Because the government handouts cover either the complete loss of wage and/or completely dropping out of education because you have to be a full time parent.

In addition, the maximum child support payment for a single parent with a child under 8 is ~$540 a fortnight. Considering you'd struggle to find a decent place to rent in Australia for under $250 a week I'd like to see someone raise a child solely on that.

Not at all - this point has been brought up before.

Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that a large number of "Western" countries have determined that 16 years old is an adequate age to allow individuals to consent to sexual intercourse (or not) and the accompanying perils and pitfalls thereof.


I see little merit in lambasting a teenage girl engaging in a legal act.

I'm sure growing up with a family in the entertainment business, you get very adept at knowing what you want, and how to get it. She's more than financially secure, and in all reality, I'm 99% positive the baby will grow up healthy and at least a little bit spoiled. Remember, she has an older sister to learn from her mistakes. People aren't complete retards—sure they do stupid things, but it's not like we're talking about someone with an actual mental deficiency here.

You'd be suprised how fast a kid can grow up when they land themselves in a very adult situation.

Not all the time, my friend knocked up his girlfriend not too long ago and he has like you've said matured rather quickly since i've known him and since i've known of his situation. He's been looking for a job, got kicked out of the place he was living and has been sleeping at friends houses including mine over the past couple months and is trying to find a place but it's hard. (His kicking out wasn't associated with the pregnancy) But his girlfriend has broke under the pressure and wanted to break up with him and he thinks she's seeing someone else but he's still trying so he can support the baby. Off-topic, sorry but not everyone can mature from a situation like pregnancy, it can be the opposite.

And so much for everyone preaching that what she did was nothing wrong.

 

[Year.Zero]

People often don't realise that when lots of responsibility is thrusted upon even a very young person, they're usually very capable of doing the right thing. It's called common sense.

Buy food, give it water, change its' diapers.

How much love and attention you give your child is probably inherent to your own personality, but as far as the responsible parent thing goes, maturity is a completely subjective thing which kicks in when required.

Teenagers today have far more responsibilities than they did 40 years ago. But much farther back, it wasn't unusual for a 12 year old brother who's father may have died in a war to have to raise his 4 year old sister that lost her mother during childbirth all alone.

Think about it: How would we have gotten here? If kids weren't capable of raising children, we'd never have made it where we are today. Do you think neanderthals waited until they were 25 to have kids? Hell no; they didn't even live that long.
