Not a good role model

Posted By The Foo On 20th December 2007 @ 13:27 In And everything else... | 3 Comments

I read about Jamie Lynn Spears (Britney Spears’ 16 year old sister) announcing that she is 12 weeks pregnant yesterday. Wasn’t at all surprised, considering her big sister isn’t exactly a good role model. Ok, maybe that statement was a little harsh but she is a Nickelodeon girl, of *squickly clean* Disney… what in the world was she thinking?

It is reported that her 18 year old boyfriend is allegedly the father. Correct me if I’m wrong here but if an 18 year old guy gets a 16 year old girl pregnant, isn’t that a sex offense? Regardless of whether both of them had consensual sex.

Personally, I’m afraid of what it might look to the millions of kids who are fans of her show. Will they now think it’s ok to have a baby that young? How would you even explain to your kid about her pregnancy? To have young kids look up to someone like that is a little worrying. Britney Spears is causing enough trouble. If I had kids, not sure whether I would like them to watch Nickelodeon, especially her show. This is something that makes me so nervous if I had a daughter.

Disney is also not having much luck in the controversy department too. This is the second controversial incident this year — High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens had nude pictures circulating on the internet not too long ago.

And to think … she looks so angelic, so innocent! I guess looks can be deceiving.
