Spears news puts the spotlight on teen pregnancy

| | Comments (0)
E_Spears_325.jpgLynne Spears, Britney's Mom, has put her book about parenting on hold now that Jamie Lynn, Britney's 16-year-old sister announced that she is pregnant with her high-school boyfriend's baby.

Apparently, news of the teen pregnancy tipped off the Christian publisher of "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" that Mother Spears might not be the best person to provide parenting advice. The book was set to launch on Mother's Day 2008.

"This is such a strong case for why you should be a parent and not a friend," Janet Chan, editor in chief of Parenting magazine, told The New York Post.

Now, Nickelodeon is reportedly considering a special about sex and love following the news. Rather than focus strictly on Spears, Ellerbee said she's considering producing a broad discussion about how people know they're in love, when is the right time to have sex and what are the value systems of their parents and friends. It could air as soon as next month.

But what if parents aren't sure what their value system is? A lot of parents don't know when the right time to have sex is, so how can they tell their kids? What would you, or do you tell your kids?
