Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve probably heard that 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. That’s right, the wholesome star of "Zoey 101" is going to be a mamma. Guess they’re going to have to change the name of her show to "Teen Pregnancy, 101" ’cause she’s got a lot to learn.

But while everyone is up in arms over this whole thing, we at Mommy Warriors have a different take. Below is our list of the top ten positive reasons for having kids in your teens.

MommyWarriors.com 's Top Ten Reasons for Having Kids in Your Teens

1. Chances are you already live with your mom, so she’ll be there to give you round the clock support.

2. If you have a daughter, she can wear your hand-me-downs.

3. You and your child can sit together on the bus, since you’ll probably go to the same school.

4. When you’re older people will all think he/she is your brother/sister.

5. You can double date.

6. It’ll be like a never ending sleep over.

7. You’ll know plenty of teenagers who can baby sit.

8. If you nurse, you'll have the biggest boobs in class.

9. You'll still be on your parents insurance policy, so you won't have to pay a dime!

10. Movies are cheaper, because you only have to pay admissions for two children.

So we say cut poor Jamie Lynn some slack. After all, look at the role models she has in her life. With a sister like Britney we really that surprised?

Ok some of those are positively silly. Funny enough, but silly. Even though I was 17 when my daughter was born I can tell you that there's no chance in hell that we would double date! We are still mother and daughter and that does not change.

The best thing, I'm surprised it didn't make it onto your list, is being young when she's grown and moved out. My daughter was so independent she used her own money to move out of home when she left school at 17. I'd just turned 35. I only had the one child. She has managed, some times with a bit of difficulty, to support herself financially ever since. She turned 34 two days ago. No she hasn't got kids. There's another advantage: she knew first hand what it meant to grow up in a poor family, she decided not to have kids unless she can afford them.

As a very young mother I had enough energy to keep up with her. And yes, we had a lot of fun. Still do.
