the popular star of Zoe 101 has leaked to the press that she is going to be a mama at the age 16. kids including my daughters watch this tv show on the family channel...what kind of message is this sending?
is she following in her sisters footsteps?

Ya I felt the same way my daughter watches the show as well. I'm so glad that I taught my daughter at a young age not to pay attention to the fake stuff from Hollywood but still they are watching.....

It's a sad thing because kids need role models and they don't always look in the right places. Maybe parents should point them in a more positive direction than the Spears family. Sadly, many parents don't have such hot role models either. Why do adults keep expecting moral leadership from basketball players, politicians & movie stars? No wonder the kids are confused.

Its not sending a very good message, thats for sure. I think she should have been more careful, knowing that she is a role model for young girls. I'm glad my daughter is too young to watch that stuff. I'm seriously thinking about not letting her watch much tv as she gets older.

Being a mother myself I can imagine your feelings, on the other hand you know nothing about the rest of the situation. Maybe she got pregnant accidently and decided not to have an abortion but keep the baby. Ofcourse she won't tell the press everything in detail. Maybe there is more behind the story then you know it. As I said before, being a mother myself, I can imagina how you feel about the message it might be sending to your children. I would not like it if my 16 year old daughter would come home saying she is pregnant either.

This is certainly not good thing for the new generations. It is sad that we are unable to stop such things.
I personally feel that the society as a whole should change for better atleast in this matter. If the so called big stars will start acting irresposibly then it will be very difficult to stop such wrong messages from going to the youngsters.
