I can explain to my daughter a lot easier (unfortunately) that a movie star or rock star just gets carried away with all the money. Not that any of it is right! They were wrong and their life will be very hard now. Disney took one girl off the air ASAP when she got pregnant at 16!
That they think they are grown ups faster then they should be....
BUT it will be a lot harder to explain that a Governor's (possible VP), 17 year old daughter is pregnant....and that her parents support her and that she can go off into the sunset to get married.....isn't this wonderful!! :dontknow:
It really bothers me!! AS A MOM!!! :'( >
