Jamie Lynn Spears Did Not Have a Boyfriend When She was Pregnant

Jamie Lynn Spears shocked everyone when it was discovered she and Casey Aldridge were expecting a baby. In an interview with the Associated Press shortly before Thanksgiving, the 16-year-old Jamie Lynn said she did not have a serious boyfriend. Jamie Lynn said:

"I kind of just keep my options open. I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends."

In the same interview, Jamie Lynn. who said she eventually wants to study at Louisiana State University, added that she had no plans to follow in Britney’s footsteps and move to L.A. "No! Never will," she said, laughing, when asked if she’d ever leave her Kentwood, Louisiana, home. "It’s, you know, it’s my friends," she says. "It’s where I grew up. I want to stay here."

Jamie Lynn lied and deceived a lot of people. Not a good way to start off motherhood, and not a good example to set for her new baby, but that was the way she was raised, so we can’t blame or criticize her, right? WRONG. If Jamie Lynn’s parents won’t explain what right and wrong is, then the public will provide the peer pressure to try to set her straight. We’ve tried to do that with Britney, but she’s too stubborn to listen to anyone. There are also those people that say, "just leave her alone." Those people don’t seem to realize, leaving girls like Britney and Jamie Lynn alone, just rewards them for negative behavior, and allows them to become a negative example for girls who are growing up to become mothers of a generation of children they will raise to continue the same bad behavior. At the very least, Nickelodeon needs to fire Jamie Lynn, so she won’t negatively influence kids watching that show. Getting fired won’t be such a bad thing for Jamie Lynn since she likes to "keep her options open."
