Little Girls role models?

My kids watch Zoey101, among other tween shows. So it came as a surprise to hear Jamie Spears pregnant at the tender age of 16. Too compound this issue, the boyfriend is 18 or 19 (I heard both). I am sure the legal teams will diagnose the differencde of 'two consenting kids' or 'statutory rape'.

Why is this a issue? Well, first it was the nude picture of Vanessa Hudgens, star of High School Musical. Now this girl being pregnant. Unfortunately, it is tainting the clean scene for Disney and Nickelodean.

I have already heard from local parents, how do I explain this to my kid? Realistically, this is life. Kids do stupid stuff (I know, not just kids), and in this day, everything is posted live for the world to see.

The glass house metaphore doesn't work anymore. It's now a glass world, where it seems everyone is willing to share everything. We don't need big brother to broadcast our lives, we do it to ourselves.

I find it very unfortunate for the 16 year old girl. Not sure what will become of the Zoey101 show. I suspect a vacation time for the actress.
