There was a flurry of activity in the media world a couple of weeks ago when Britney Spears' younger sister Jamie Lynn announced that she was pregnant. At just 16-years-old, Jamie Lynn has become part of a national statistic.

"About 750,000 teens between 15-19 get pregnant each year, and 79 percent of them are unmarried according to a teen pregnancy report by the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit sexual and reproductive health research group."

Jamie Lynn has a young fan base of her because of her starring role in the Nickelodeon show "Zoey 101". The concern now is that her pregnancy will make teen motherhood seem "trendy" to her teen and pre-teen fans.

Youth Care, a residential treatment program for troubled teens, offers a program for pregnant girls.
