"Zoey's" Pregnancy Shocked Her Teenaged TV Fans
American teens are talking and blogging about the pregnancy of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears, a sister to pop star Britney Spears.
According to stories in the New York Times and other newspapers, teen girls feel let down by Jamie's pregnancy because they identify her with the character she plays on Nickeleon's Zoey 101. Zoey is a straight-A, virginal student, an empowered young teen who leaves home at age thirteen to enter a formerly all-boys boarding school.
Google recently reported that online searches for "Britney Spears" are second only to searches for "God," as people keep track of the celebrity's trials of divorce, public nudity, career failures, pregnancy, and so forth.
Jamie was always the "good sister" and a role model for preteens. Some teachers and parents are using Jamie's pregnancy as a "teachable moment."
If you're dealing with a pregnant teen, you might want to learn more about Youth Care. Youth Care is a residential treatment center with a program for pregnant girls.
