Has anyone thought that maybe she wanted to have the baby? If you are in a family like that, forced into celebrity since a child, perhaps the only way she could find any way to assert herself was to become pregnant - knowing that things would irrevocably change. Perhaps this was her idea of 'escape.' She wouldn't be the first girl to think so.
There are lots of girls that want babies, and have babies, because they want them. The terms 'babymomma' and 'babydaddy' is a case in point. They have their own reasons for getting pregnant, no matter how 'dumn' it seems to others.
well, one could think that she could have been tired of her show and decided to get pregnant to break the contract, that would be a speculation, but a possibility, however whatever the reasons are for getting pregnant, the one most affected by it, is the baby, then we should ask here what are the "right" reasons and the "wrong" reasons.
The problem most people see here when it comes to celebrities is about their irresponsable behaviour, just see Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, that is what I mean, Britney Spears isn't the exception, that is why this incident can pretty much be considered like a typical spoiled celebrity being irresponsable.
To me the popularity of this thread shows the commonality between any troubled girl and young woman. Just because they are 'celebrities' does not mean they can hold back the ocean's tides, or that their 'celebrity' releases them from being human in the world.
Can they do better than they were raised? I feel they can only do as well as they have been raised to do. Their problems are the same as any other 16 year old girl that finds her self pregnant whether she wants the experience or not. That remains the same, no matter what degree of celebrity, money, or fame you have!
To those of us that have been more than familiar with how this happens and the consequences that reverberate over the years can talk about it with out being the one so scutinized. That alone is worth the chance to discuss it and not be directly involved.
