Britney Spears 16 year old sister is pregnant. You might know her from her show called Zoey 101 and she is known as Zoey in that show which is the main character in that show and she is also known as a role model for many young children.
Some people could not believe that a 16 year old is pregnant with her 18 year old boyfriend Casey Aldridge. This was shocking news for everybody including her mom. Nobody would have ever thought Jamie Lynn Spears would do something like this.
It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Jamie Lynn told OK, according to the Associated Press. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."
Jamie Lynn Spears also said she didn’t tell her parents first and that she told her friend, "I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision," she told the magazine. "Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."
When Jamie told her mother told the OK magazine that, “I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious, and she’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."
Nickelodeon is the channel which broadcasts her TV show Zoey 101 and they said in a statement: "We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."
Some people are arguing about taking the show off air or something because they don’t want their kids to see a 16 year old pregnant girl on television. Parents probably think she can possibly be a bad role model for their kids and give their kids the wrong image of a 16 year old.
I can say I was very shocked myself to hear that she was pregnant. At first, I thought they were rumours but I soon came to believe this. I questioned myself about how an innocent girl at such a young age does something so irresponsible? But, I can say I’m pretty surprised that she is keeping the baby and I think she is brave to do that. She is taking responsibilities of what she did and I think that’s great. At first, Britney Spears was in the news and now I’m guessing Jamie Spears is going to be in media more than Britney. All the media attention is going to go to Jamie Lynn Spears and they are probably going to try to find out if Jamie is the same type of mother Britney is.
Her mother had a book coming about on parenting which has been delayed just because of Jamie Lynn Spears pregannacy news. But, if you think of it would people actually buy the book after all that has happened?
