Maybe I just matured slow or something, but I remember 1 girl possibly maybe getting pregnant pre-high school, and I'm only 25 :/

did any of you see the little parody of jaime lynn on you tube. They made out like paparazzi and staked out jaime, for an interview. Only it isn't jaime, it is a cute little two year old. They asked her how do you feel about being a mother and she says "im going to be a mom". Then they ask her what is in the shopping bag and she says "baby food". I thought it was funny. she was dressed really cute and had big movie star sunglasses on. Then they show her driving away with britney, another two year old.

There is another one called the landlord, with will farrel and a little girl named pearl. It was funny.

When I told my 9 year old she just said, well she hopes jaime will still be able to do the show. they like the zoey 101 show and hanna montana show and don't want the zoey character or hanna's best friend character to not be on the show.

I can not believe Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant and she actually thinks this is right.But I'm glad that she is going to be a mother but you know I know her Sister Britney will give her good advice about being a good mother

...wait, what?

This isn't the first teen pregnancy and it won't be the last. I went to a public high school and from sophomore year on we always had pregnant classmates. I never really felt the need to discuss it with my mom, I knew it happened and I knew how at that point. My sister told me when she was 12 that there were girls her age who bragged about being virgins, or not virgins, and that there were pregnancies (that were and weren't continued, apparently there were several) and she had a pretty good grip on "the way things are". I would think it would be a bigger deal if a classmate, or a close friend, found themselves in this situation than a celeb.. even when I was a pre-teen I didn't take much notice/invest much thought into celebrities.

I do wonder though why they didn't "hide" it longer. Not that a pregnancy needs to be hidden, and not that it wouldn't come out eventually, but to allow the pregnancy to go on as peacefully as possible for as long as possible seems like a better idea than announcing it to the world before she is even showing.. I didn't have a freakin' clue who she was until this whole thing exploded and I just can't for the life of me figure out why they would make it into such a massive deal. It sounds like Britney-style attention trolling and I think that's why I have negative feelings toward the whole ordeal. I guess in the end I still don't know why shes so popular (either of them, heh) and really don't care, but having it shoved in your face day by day on the "news" and along magazine racks makes you mull it over eventually.

Someone up there asked about Juno. I saw it, I thought it was cute, but I don't see whats with all the fantastic reviews. It was semi-realistic at best and I don't think it was really geared at a specific group to teach anything or whatever, it just seemed like a movie about something that could possibly happen in real life with no particular aim. I'm not sure I would (as a parent or as a teen, though it's been a few years since I've been a teenager) use it as a dialogue opener, either.

well they do have ways of hiding pregancies on tv shows. but it is kind of awkward to be a pregnant teen when you are on a tv show...as far as logistics would be concerned.

I would think she has a job and enough money to support her child so it's her business. She's a lucky teen mom to have a nice job. so many teen moms have nothing.

They can always show reruns for the last final months when hiding it isn't possible (if they didnt want to encorporate it into the show somehow, I havent seen the show, i dont know), or cancel it for a period of time. I just can't see that the TV show is the reason why they announced it before she was even showing. I'm no TV expert (if there is such a thing) but it seems to me it would have been totally easy to squeeze in another few months depending on how she carries, and even then I think she's "unpopular" enough to fly under the radar for the entire pregnancy if she wanted to. I can't imagine having anything but a private, quiet pregnancy.. thats just who I am.. so maybe flaunting it is just who she is? It just seems completely bizarre to me. Obviously her sister has had issues with keeping a cool head with her kids around the paparazzi.. if my sister had been in that situation, I think I woulda tried to lay low as long as possible.

Edit: This is not saying that I think teen pregnancy is detestable or anything like that, for the record... just observations based on her family's history, her "celebrity" status, and the fact that yes she is young and has a lot of growing and learning to do in a VERY short time on top of now being stalked by tons of paparazzi which I assume is happening because of all the buzz around this.

And I appreciate the "at least she has money" but as long as you have enough money to feed, clothe, nurture your child you have plenty. I wouldn't think for a milisecond that her money will be enough to make her a good (or decent) parent.. only time will show that.. however. I don't think a celebrity is a very good example for parents to use as an opportunity to bring up teen pregnancy with their kiddos. It's not a situation they will find themselves in.. unless, of course, you are famous yourself.

I seen a commercial on Nickoloden that Jamie might be leaving the show so they may cancel it since she's pregnant.

The news stories that I have seen have said that the next season has already been filmed.

Yes- My dd's uncle took her to it. She loved it

As for the whole JL thing, dd could care less. The topic held her interest for a minute and then faded quickly.

I think it's ridiculous that anyone is making a big deal out of this at all. Teen pregnancy happens. Yes, it certainly isn't ideal, and no, we shouldn't encourage it, but we certainly don't have any room to pass judgment when it does happen. A hit show should NOT be canceled simply due to the pregnancy unless Jamie Lynn doesn't want to work anymore. Her personal life should be none of anyone's concern. I don't agree with her coming out in the interview personally, I'd rather see her keep her own matters to herself. BUT.. seeing as she is a celebrity, unfortunately she probably had no choice in the matter, as the news would either break with her or someone nosy who found about about the pregnancy. In any other type of career, it is illegal to fire someone for being pregnant. What's more, is that the fourth (?) season of Zoe 101 is has already been shot, so they could afford to due re-runs for awhile until she's up to working again. If not, they could film a final episode, and the show could go into the re-run vault.

now that I think about it more...

When a person signs a multi million dollar contract to represent a company that is marketing a fresh faced fashionably dressed young ladies for their tv show, and their advertisers are trying to sell products through the commercials during the show to a certain age group. There is certain implied or even written agreement that you are going represent the show you are on and their sponsors in a favorable light. Favorable being defined by the advertisers and the sponsors, which in the nick and disney crowd they are all about properness and manners to the Nth degree. I am not suprized when my husband told me today that he heard Jaime Lynn is expected to lose 100 million dollars in endorsements because of her pregnancy.

My dd said, a baby is worth it, a baby is worth more than 100 million dollars. and her life is her business. Is it really just her business though?

My husband can't go to work and just do whatever he wants because his life is his business, he is paid to represent his employer and act in a professional and responsible manner. When you are hired on a childrens show, you can't just do whatever you want. That studio is paying you a lot of money to portray an image.... If you agree to that and take the money, then I guess you would need to be prepared to take all the responsibility that goes with it.

I don't think there are very many people who can say they lost 100 million dollars by choosing to have a baby though. That is something!

Reason number 101 I'm glad my kids don't watch TV.
