Teen Stars Gone Bad
In the past couple of months, Jamie Lynn Spears announced she was pregnant, nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens surfaced, and Miley Cyrus posed in an "embarassing" photo shoot for Vanity. Is anybody else upset about the example these stars are setting for today's teenage girls?
Jamie Lynn had her own show Zoey 101 on Nick, and I know tons of younger girls who watched it and looked up to her. Now, at only the age of 16, she's pregnant. What type of example does that set for all of her fans? Vanessa Hudgens is the star of one of the most popular movies ever to grace Disney Channel and now even she has been caught doing something scandalous. Miley Cyrus, who has a budding career and a huge fan-base, is caught 1st: In a photo on an unidentified man's lap with her top off. and 2nd: Posing in a photo shoot for Vanity with nothing but a bedsheet to cover her.
We see stars get caught doing stupid things all of the time, but I'm just so suprised that 3 girls who are all in their teens have been caught doing these things almost simultaneously. And on top of that, all three of them have shows on channels that are meant to entertain kids in their pre-teens.
Thoughts?
And in case you haven't seen the new picture of Miley, here's the link:

It doesn't upset me. People care too much about celebrities.
People do stupid things. Spears isn't the first teenager to get knocked up...and she won't be the last. I don't think you can blame these spoiled, rich brats for corrupting our youth. They're still kids themselves.

I've seen a special on kids/teens stars. This isn't the first time that has happened. Drew Barrymore was a teen star. At the age 10 she started drinking and she went downhill from there. She was in rehab at the age 13 and 14. (Well, she has recovered.)
Michael Jackson is another example. Also Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen sisters, and Britney Spears are all over the tabloids.
Some believe that the parents are to blame. Parents are so amazed by their child's talent that use their kids as a break through in life. "Oh wow! My kid is making millions! I need to keep signing him/her up for more auditions!" Parents start pressuring their kids and start depending on them for their fame. Some of these parents use their kids to gain fame since they couldn't as a child. Obliviously, this messes up the child as they grow up and come to realize what their parents are doing, and what kind of world they're living in. As these child stars get older, as you can see they start doing drugs and get into trouble.

Um, anyway, I really could care less about the situation. If your child is delusional and stupid enough to idolize every stupid teenage actress they see on Nickelodeon or Disney, you're not raising them right in the first place. Any parent with half a brain is going to raise their children to not pay attention to that stuff, or at least not idolize it. Soooo I say if kids are dumb enough to follow all that and try to copy their favorite sluts *cough* I mean stars, then let them screw themselves over. Same goes for all these young actresses, too. Most of it is all publicity stunts anyway.

I'm still suprised that this goes on. you'd think that because they were teen celebrities the parents would keep a better eye out on their kids, especially at that age.
But of course this is just another good reason why you should only let your kids watch cartoons, and none of those type of shows.

Does anyone else think she looks like a creepy little girl from some Asian horror movie in that picture? Her face kind of creeps me out.

I would have to agree with that. she goes to take a picture like that, and all it does is make her look creepy.
hey maybe that South Park episode with britney spears was actually telling the future for myley Cyris

My mom was talking about this a lot a a month ago.
Yeah, it does set a bad role model for kids. Even if you try to hide from them the things that their "role models" do, you won't be able to. If only teens and preteens would look up to people other than celebrities, but we all know they're always gonna look up to people like that instead of looking up to truly admirable/wise people.

She is 15, it's normal for people of that age to be having teh seckes.
Jamie leyn spears is pregnant at 16, I had a friend who was at 15. I'm sure lots of other people do too. Just because they are famous doesn't mean that they can't live a normal life.
Seriously I'd much rather have people idolize them than fiddy cent.

I had much worse role models growing up, yet unfortunately I didn't turn out like them.
I don't think it's a big deal
