I had to post this because of my recent project on the sexualization of tweens. Not only is Jamie Lynn Spears the younger 16 year-old sister of the infamous Britney, but she is also a Nickelodeon star (she has her own TV show, Zoey 101)--a network (and show) most definitely geared toward the tween market. And now she's pregnant!Perhaps some good can come out of this, serving as a lesson to younger girls that there are consequences for having sex, especially at such a young age. But, on the other hand, the attention Jamie is receiving as a result of this news could further encourage young girls that this is the behavior that is rewarded in our society today. Either way, it is an interesting follow-up to my final project.
