I agree. Celeb teen pregnancy is very dangerous for our teens and tweens. Glorification without obvious consequenses is a bad mix, as I suspect Jamie Lynn is about to find out. Sabrina your advice is dead on, as always.

i dont agree. Its a parents responability to talk to your kids about it and then support them if the make the wrong choice. I had twins at 17 and there is not a day that goes by that i dont wish i had someone that cared about me enough to talk to me or stand by me when the birthcontrol didnt work. Parents think that the only consaquence is the losing your childhood and thats so wrong it messes with you emotionaly expecialy when you have to give your babies up cause you cant provide for them and knowing they are doing good doesnt take that pain away. So instead of putting a child down for a mistake that was made use it to show your kids its not a life they want so they have a chance to have a good life and prepare their selfs emotionaly and financially to be able to raise a happy healthy family
