Jamie Lynn Spears: ‘The Hateful Comments Hurt’

For some reason, the link to "12 flirty little date outfit ideas" seems inappropriate here.

Props to her for wanting to be a good mom, even at a young age. Most teenage moms party and stick their children with the grandparents. It's tough being a teenage mom (as I was) even if you have money and am famous. She's just lucky she has the financial stability to raise her daughter better. Yea, it was stupid for having unprotected sex, but she got something beautiful out of it and it seems to me she's getting her life back on track. No one is perfect.

While this is a serious article about what she went through after finding out that she was pregnant I find the last two links: '12 Flirty little date outfit ideas and 12 secrets that he's into you' aren't appropriate for this. Correct she is taking it seriously and at least she didn't do what the '16 and pregnant' chicks are doing: making it glamorous---now the Parents groups should be up in arms over that show. the 16 and pregnant mothers are probably going to be on a new show on MTV called '32 and Grandma's'

i had my son when i was 17 and can relate to this story while yes she did not have it as hard as most of us financially it is still no easy task raising a child so young but it also makes you grow up faster and realize your values much quicker. I am almost 29 today and have a respectful young man while some my age are still out partying and getting loaded every night, i have a successful career and if i did not have my son not sure where i be today he was my inspiration.

Its hard being a single mother but joyful at the same time.Im proud of her cuz she could have easely got a abortion and hind it but instead took full responibility for her actions.She gave up her life for her child and she's my hero for that.Take something bad and turn it into good

When this happened I couldn't believe it and the worst part was that it happened when Britney Spears was going through the worst in her life so this news made everything much much worse for the Spears Family at the time. Everything was just going wrong for them and it was sad to watch. But I guess this is a good way to show that when you're going through rough times always remind yourself that "THIS TOO SHALL PASS", keep repeating that and you will feel better because everything eventually passes and comes to an end.

@ Jessi---while I agree with your statement about teenagers (not just teenage girls, teenagers period) I have 2 teenage children, one of each gender. I am very vocal about my opinions about abstinance and waiting but am as equal in letting them know that if they make a different decision, in no way will I not help and support them to take actions that will prevent lifelong repercussions. I wouldn't love it but I would rather my children protect themselves from unexpected, unprepared parenthood and disease than to be pious in my decision and allow those decisions to have resounding affects on their lives, dreams and opportunites. Fine to have an opinion but we don't live in theory/opinion land.

It sounds like she's gained a lot of wisdom in the past five years.

despite how young she was when she became pregnant and all, im glad to no that she is taking full responsibilty on her child and wanting to be the best mother that she can. some teens dont take these things as seriously and arent as responsible about it. im at least glad to see that she cares.

Jamie Lynn and everybody else will get what they are destined to get. It is not for people to judge another person. Jamie Lynn just be a good mom and follow your dreams.

At least she took care of her kid, she didnt give it up or have an abortion, she took the responsibility for what she did. This happens everday, she shouldnt get trashed on more just cause he is on tv.

Right off the bat you have screwed up. You have an article about teen pregnancy but your side bars have secret signs he is into you and firty date dresses. Hmmmmm. I think Ms Spears made a good decision for herself in keeping her child. She did made a choice to have sex (obviously without protection) that a lot of girls make as teenagers but she got "caught." Too bad that she was nailed to the cross for it, after all, she is only human. Fortunately she was able to afford to raise this child unlike so many other teenage mothers. Adoption is certainly an option for many, abortion is hard on the soul as well as the body, a lot of counseling is needed before and after. Again, she tried to set an example before and after; I think she did a good job with an unfortunate situation. Bet she is a great mom too.

when bristol palin got pregnant everybody was told to leave her alone while jamie lynn was vilified. bill o'reily even called jamie's mom a pinhead, he didn't call sarah one. i'm just saying.

Everyone makes stupid mistakes. The media intensifies the situation so much, that it makes these people look like monsters. Like when the mags go on and on for months about so and so cheating. You'd be lucky these days to actually find a decent person in the 'normal world'.

There are 3 types of decisions:
1. Good decisions
2. Bad decisions you complicate with more bad decisions
3 Bad decisions you make good with future good decisions

Sounds like Jamie make choice #3--finishing school even after having a baby.

its always interesting that 'hateful comments' come from fellow sinners. i admire her for taking responsibility, for cherishing her role as a mother, and who knows what great things her child might accomplish in this world. if anyone would like her 'punished' for her actions. well, as we know, try raising another human being, sleepless nights, potty training, cutting teeth............enough 'punishment' to fit the crime, if we want to look at it that way.

She's a lot smarter than her older sister, Britney.

Good for her! Sounds much mor mature than many 30 year olds. When I think back to how I used to be at her age I cringe. Lucky for me I was not a star cause who knows how much worse I would have been..

I'm glad to see articles like this. I don't see this as condoning or rewarding teen pregnancy at all. She is just showing that things can turn out fine even when the timing of her pregnancy was obviously not ideal. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders. There's a lot of celebrities out there that do drugs, drunk drive, etc. and all she did was get pregnant---that's something that could happen to anyone.

PEOPLE CAN JUST BE EVIL FOR NO REASON SOMETIMES
