Is Jamie Lynn Spears OK?

As teen pregnancy rates run rampant ‘OK’ magazine thinks it’s ‘ok’ to put out an article that supports/glamorizes Jamie Lynn Spears as a mom and her recent delivery.  What young girls in the US need now is a teen-idol-turned-pregnant-teen-turned-new-mom that talks about her “perfect delivery.”  That last sentence was intentionally sarcastic.  Is the idolizing of Jamie Lynn Spears healthy for our country?  Why are we putting JLS on a pedestal here? 

The ‘OK’ article reads like an endorsement to teenage mothers everywhere.

"I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed," Jamie Lynn said describing the delivery.   "The first time I saw her, it was surreal. You can't even imagine that moment. She just looked at me, and she really didn't cry at first. I was scared, and then she started screaming. It is the best feeling in the world."

Such a happy ending to such a happy story—congrats to all.  Jamie Lynn even had her boyfriend in the delivery room.  Thumbs up!  Jamie Lynn reportedly only wanted one person in the delivery room with her, that would be her fiancé Casey Aldridge.  Casey, being a stand up guy, was reportedly holding her hand the entire time.  Jamie Lynn said of the experience, "Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all…" Jamie continued to say of the experience, "I was just talking to Casey. And you know what's so weird? I was asking him if he was OK. He was like, 'Yeah.' We were both so excited."

The article goes on to talk about feedings and a supportive boyfriend.  By the end of the article you are convinced that Jamie Lynn Spears should hands down get the mother of the year award by default. 

I see the desire to carry this story as it will surely pique many people’s interests and sell many issues, but is that what media in our country has turned into?  Is this teen pregnancy the right thing for the media to be covering/endorsing?  What are your thoughts on Jamie Lynn Spears, teen pregnancy and the media?
