Oops...Britney Spears Sister Has Done it This Time, Pregnant at 16

In case you haven't heard, Rueters.com reports that Britney Spears sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is pregnant at the age of 16. Jamie Lynn Spears has made an initial move that demonstrates more responsibility than her older sister by taking responsibility for the child. Let's hope she is a better parent than her older sister.

Nickelodeon advised Reuters that their primary concern at this point is for Jamie Lynn Spears well being. Fortunately for Nickelodeon, they finished filming their fourth and final season in September.

I watched Britney Spears grow up in the public spotlight. As we know, things have not turned out well for her. She lost custody of her children to Kevin Federline. That in itself is a heart-wrenching story. Now, add Jamie Lynn's story to the drama and you have one family that has their hands full.

Each individual is responsible for themselves, but Jamie Lynn is a child. Has she, like Britney been forced to grow up too fast? She allegedly met the father, according to a Reuters, at church. Church?

At some point you have to look at the family and question what the parents are, or are not doing for these kids?

This borders on the unbelievable, but we know truth is stranger than fiction. This is not the first thing I expected to find on Reuters tonight. Now, I'm heart-broken for a child having a child. Will the public rake her over the coals? Is this the beginning of a life of public relations disasters?

I hope not. I am flabbergasted at this news, and at this point, it raises more questions than answers. I hate to see a child begin a life of responsibility so young. But then, maybe she will be responsible, or at least more responsible than her sister.

I'm sure as the story gets out rumors, chastisement, and judgments will fly. What troubles me is that the problems this family seems to face are at the core, matters of the heart, morals, and values.

It reminds me of the sad situation our world is in. It has become much more difficult to live right side up in an upside down world. I hate to even see this unfold.
