There’s been a lot of talk about the recently announced pregnancy of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears. People have been asking all kinds of questions: "What do you think? Should she keep the baby? Should Nickelodeon fire her?" And as much as I agree that people have the right to express themselves and say whatever they want, sometimes I think they’re just a little too willing to part with what THEY think is the right advice. Of course most people are going to have an opinion about whether a 16-year-old girl should or shouldn’t keep her baby if she gets pregnant – but is it right to make this girl a poster child for teenage pregnancy just because she happens to be on a TV show and have a famous older sister?

So. The breaking news from the land of swimming pools and movie stars is NOT that Britney Spears is pregnant again, as was rumored recently, but that her teenaged sister, Jamie Lynn, is. This has raised some debate in the blogworld. I am seeing "Mother of the Year" thrown around sarcastically in the direction of Lynne Spears, Britney and Jamie Lynn's mother. Is this really Lynne's fault, though? Really?
