Do you not think that we are all to blame in a way.

Reasons.

If it was not for the media hounding her and her herself playing to the media,
she wouldn't be acting in this way.

Remember: WE buy the newspapers, magazines, watch TV............


Also do you not think her ex is not playing her, for his own purpose................

Always 2 sides to any story.........:cool:

I wouldn't say we are to blame for the reason that everyone on this earth has two choices (Multiple if we had a choice in a poll) to either Yes, I'm pregnant I should be happy and will be there for my kid when he/she is born. No, I'm going to be a selfish young woman and will abuse myself using drugs , hanging out with stupid people drinking and driving (potentially putting other peoples lives at risk) and go on a downward spiral. Anyway, she had a choice before her baby was born, life was good, she was happy. Exactly what changed in that year?

In short, i think she took a risk which didn't pay off and only now she cannot handle the repercussions. I don't think it's about her fame (maybe she could have blamed this as a infant) when her parents where to blame for pushing her to stardom (when she didn't have a choice) but not now. She had her own mind whether to lead a happy and content life or the way she is living now.

Like I said, I personally think her parents are to blame as they where the people pushing her to it going through rigorous routines day in day out, think of it has a pre-cursor to an unhappy life later in life brought on by the people responsible for looking out for her.

I can't say that society is to blame, not in the slightest. people buy her records because of her raw talent. We didn't ask her to sing or push her to stardom as an infant, or ask her to take drugs and abuse her parenting rights.

As for her ex, yeah, I think he is playing it a little, afterall, he's going to get richer from this farce but always remembering that he is the one looking after the kids and living up to his responsibilities which goes a long way in my books.

Anyway, I'll stop my rambling and end with I noticed your not using an avatar uncodermom? :p

Nice ramble Shelley! I totally agree!

Remind me again why are we all rambling and raving about some washed up vocalist? Two words in the form of a question come to mind: Who cares?

And not to defend the Spears family or anything, but I'd like to see any of you walk in the shoes of a parent with a child in the Hollywood scene and not have them experience a negative impact. Hollywood is a sleazy +++++. She spreads her diseases on the young, weak, and vulnerable.. and we all get so worried and frantic about it.

- Boredom?
- It's a bulletin board a place to talk?
- Takes the heat of Celine Dion?
- The thread starter had a fit of insanity and created "Train Wreck Britney" thread when they mean't to create "Britney, we all love you really, get well soon" thread?
- Because we care?
- because you really care?
- because the guy next door to me cares?

You pick.

We were talking about Britney, and pop stars of that time in general the other night. It is kind of funny, but when you look back everybody thought Christina Aguilera would be the one on the self destructive path while Britney would be the cutsie pop princess. Now you look at them and they grew up to be totally different people.

That's the sad thing, is people actually DO care about it.

It's a waste of time and energy that could be focused on something much more helpful, inspiring, or just flat out entertaining.

So a 16 year old girl is pregnant.. It happens every single day, all over the world. But this one is plastered all over news stands globally, and now an "unfit" mother can't release a book on parenting that has been in the works. Production is halted and it's put on "hiatus".

Not saying she's a good mom, by any means (I can't say that, I don't know her). But a GOOD book on parenting should touch issues of drug use, unprotected sex, young pregnancies, and any other garbage that the youth of today is getting into. Because believe it or not, the percentage of kids these days will experience with all of that and MORE by the age of 17.

I mean, if I'm bored.. and unless I'm replying to some dumb topic on a message board like this one, I'll start learning something. Teach myself something, or even just have fun with some video games. The last thing on my mind is what Britney and her sister are up to, and whether or not she did the right thing by sleeping with people at such a delicate age. Believe me, the LAST thing on my mind.

KT you obviously dont have any Kids. Well, I do! And I care about the pop stars of my daughters generation! The pregnant 16 year old isnt just any run of the mill PG girl.. Shes one that has been broadcasted in my home numerous times on that show of hers. I'm concerned. Its not just these two either...

Its more like wth is this world coming too!

and some of the other stuff Shelley mentioned! :p

Some people waste time on seemingly useless games and others on seemingly useless posts ;)

UncoderMom bad news....today on "E" they confirmed she is pregnant with her new boyfriend. What is wrong with this women? Also she AGAIN did not show up for court. Does she think getting pregnant with another man is going to get her kids back. This is just out of control. What is next? Suicide?

People blame it on the media coverage. No that is just a cheap excuses because SHE is the one making the choices. NO one else is telling her to do these things. I really think she has some mental problems. And having another kid doesn't make it even better.

I read in the newspapers a few days ago that if she got committed again that she would attempt suicide. Strange woman. :rolleyes:
