still a role model?

I feel so bad for this girl. All of her she has been in the spotlight because of her out of control sister.

Unfortunately at a young, but not impossible age she got pregnent. SO she wasn't in wedlock, but she wasn't having random sex. She had a steady boyfriend, at 16. It's almost impossible to find a sixteen year old with a steady boyfriend who don't have sex nowadays. Now this poor girl is being constantly criticized becuase she has a child.

It was obviously not a planned thing but I think that if she had an abortion that would have been downright selfish. She has a very steady income and is clearly very mature for her age, being able to star in her own TV show and until the pregnency issue, being able to stay out of tabloids.

I admire her for what she has done. She has paid and will continue to pay for being a normal teenager. Being in the spotlight is something that is not easy and she has gone through something that is difficult to imagine for any teen and has managed to not be reckless.

In my eyes she is a role model. Not saying that you should copy her actions but her behaviur and how she has handled this situation with a family like hers, being in the spotlight. This is my personal opinion, just tell me what you think.

People who disown their own children over incidents like this are total scum, and much worse people than "sluts".
She's a young mother but she's not a child, in England this would be perfectly legal and she could be married. I admire how well she handled the situation tbh. People are quick to damn her because she's a Spears.
