America's Role Models

Ok, so breaking news, Britney Spears' little sister, Jaime Lynn is pregnant. This is not only a problem because the adult Spears is already a horrific mother, but her little sister is 16. 16!!!!!!!!!! And of course this happens all the time in this damn country, but Jaime Lynn has her own little tweenage sitcom on Nickelodeon. And I just start thinking about this country's teenage girls in the celebrity spot light, and what an impact they have on the young people of America. There are really no excuses in my opinion. If you want to be rich and famous, you must willing to accept the consequences. You will photographed, A LOT, and people will want to imitate you. Take Lindsay Lohan. Cocaine, rehab, alcohol cosumption, all before the ripe old age of 21. Look at Britney Spears!!!! How many girls worship her, even now that she fell of the deep end! And then, little 16 year old pregnant Jaime, telling our nation's adolescents that you can a teen mother! But the really sick thing about that is that OK! magazine is paying Jaime $1 million dollars for the first pictures of the baby. Disgusting. Think about the young women that become pregnant after being raped, and can't afford to raise a baby. Where is their one mil? And wow, what a mother Lynne Spears is, teaching her kids about birth control.
Poor mothers of America that have to explain to their 9 year olds why their favorite tv character has a got a growing belly. Here is an article that addresses that very problem.
