Britney Spears IS a role model after all...

There are numerous girls, of all socio-economic backgrounds, who end up pregnant, not just "white trash" girls. It's just that the girls from lower income families are the ones who are more apt to keep the baby. The straight-A student who captains the girl's volleyball team sometimes gets pregnant, too, but she's ambitious, and a baby gets in the way of these ambitions. As sad as it is, many girls who choose to keep their babies are those whose future aspirations barely include graduating high school, let alone going to college or law school or travelling. I know of girls who actually wanted to get pregnant in high school.


I heard on the radio this morning that Lily Allen is also pregnant. Celebrities seem to be popping out babies left and right.

I agree with this, but the question was about knowing those who were teen parents, which my answer replied to.

As for Lily Allen, I'm waiting to see how many times she's papped while smoking over the next 8 months. But hey, despite all of this, at least Amy Winehouse hasn't joined the club- yet.

well no, you definitely aren't TRASH, but you still shouldn't be having sex as a kid, and if you do, you should DAMN WELL take the responsibility to use as much birth control as humanly possible.

Since when do the words 'kid' and 'responsible' go together? Obviously I'm not saying that she's blameless here... but she IS a fucking kid.

and she wouldn't be acting like it was all fine and dandy if she were any other 16 year old girl on this planet- she'd be freaking the hell out. But she's led such a bizarro life in the shadow of her messed up sister and whatnot that she doesn't seem to get the consequences of this (at least given the statement to the media anyway!) she probably doesn't even mind that her career with nickelodeon is probably not going to do well with this.

No she wouldn't be ACTING all fine and dandy, you're right... but not every 16 year old has to tell the MEDIA about their fuck up. It's obvious from the quotes that they're as disappointed as any family but they simply have to deal with it and that's what they're trying to do. You're hardly gonna tell the media that you're devastated that you're pregnant and it was a huge mistake... she's HAVING the baby... this kid would ALWAYS know it's a mistake.

I read this morning that he could face 10 years cos the age of consent where she's from is 17 and where she works is 18. Apparently he's dumped her too? Nice.

Poor kid... she's got a screw up of a family... a father to her kid who should have known better... and she's 16... fuck knows how she's gonna get through this. We all saw the fantastic help Britney got when she needed it.

hehe I think the kid's going to know it was a mistake anyway once it's old enough to do subtraction . Eh, most kids are mistakes, even if the people are 35 and married. I just don't think people should take procreation so lightly. that's why have birth control and legal abortions and whatnot- because it's not good for society to have a lot a kids just being born to every horny couple out there.

We all know that not just the White Trash have babies young!

Have you not been to Walmart this Holiday season? Have you seen all the kids with one mom? What about Target? What about the mall for Christ's sake.

These people have kid after kid after kid just to get the welfare! It's gross and quite disturbing. Use a fucking condom!

You should only be able to have kids if you are mature enough and if you have a job. I was behind this lady at the grocery store and she boought $366 worth of food and stuff with her food stamp credit card. She had about 4 kids with her. (not counting how many she had in the car or at home) Who do you think pays for all that free money for them?

I didn't see any condoms in that basket....
