Jamie Lynn Spears' Pregnancy
From Tween Idol to Teen Mom
What Happened to Jamie Lynn?

Jamie Lynn's Dad Responds

Lynn Spears: Blamed by the Media
Various print and online media outlets have placed blame on Jamie Lynn's mom Lynne Spears. As mother of the obviously-troubled Britney, who recently lost custody of her two sons, and the teen mom Jamie Lynn, is Lynne to blame for the behavior of her daughter? Various folks have varying opinions on the motherhood matter.
In Jamie Lynn's Words
Jamie Lynn told Ok magazine (December 18, 2007, OK! Magazine, Northern & Shell North America Ltd.):
"I can't say it was something I was planning to do right now. But now that it's in my lap and that it's something I have to deal with, I'm looking forward to being the best mom I can be."
With the release of the new popular movie Juno about teen pregnancy, along with the news of the teen icon's pregnancy, the media has recently pondered whether teen pregnancy is becoming more commonplace, or more socially accepted. The Guttmacher Institute released a stidy indicating that each year nearly 750,000 teens between the ages of 15-19 become pregnant in the United States, but that the rate is at its lowest level in 30 years. (U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics, Guttmacher Institute, September 2006) For more information on teen pregnancy visit teenpregnancy.org.
