Jamie Lynn Spears May Be Dumb, But She's Not A Whore
Here's Spears' baby-daddy #2 Casey Aldridge's high school year book picture courtesy of Us Magazine. Kind of puts things in perspective as we viciously pass judgment on the two soon-to-be parents. All too soon if you ask me.
I have been reading the internets today and people are in a TWITTER over this whole Jamie Lynn Spears teen pregnancy nonsense. I find it all so sad, yet so ironic (I think that about lots of things actually)
Celebs are perhaps the worst invention of the modern world. On one hand they are given special treatment, overly compensated for doing not much of anything except entertaining us (and even that's debatable), and worst of all, they are put on a pedestal by people who are so lacking in their own lives they have no one else to look up to. Then, when they fail to live up to the standard we've set for them, we bash them mercilessly. A vicious cycle of abuse.
Clearly Jamie Lynn is not smart or responsible. Neither is her baby-daddy Casey. Getting pregnant at 16 is pretty avoidable when you have the resources Jamie Lynn had. But, we must remember Jamie Lynn comes from a broken home, her mother is clearly not a great role model, her father is a recovering alcoholic, her sister suffers from fame-induced psychosis, and they're all saddled with deep South sensibilities (or being "country" as they like to call it). Just because you throw money and fame in the mix doesn't mean you are going to get something positive out the other end.
I don't envy famous people in the slightest. Being robbed of your privacy would be horrible. Being forced to have all of your dirty laundry aired in public would be rotten. But it is a conscious choice people make and can be easily fixed by staying out of the limelight.
