JL, technically, may be a teen mother, but she is hardly a teenager. She hasn’t been one in a long time, before she became a mother. Kids in Hollywood don’t go to school, they have tutors or do correspondence schooling. I think that’s the main reason her becoming a mother never bugged me. Sure, it wasn’t on the top of her to do list, I’m sure, but if any 17 year old could handle it, it’d be one that had worked in Hollywood. She had her GED shortly after announcing her pregnancy. She’s got a fair fortune tucked away, I’m sure (also, it’s not like the Spears family in general is livin’ in the poor house), so for the most part she’s okay – scumbag baby daddy or not.

And tbh, she’s still is a teenager, technically. A large majority of them do it. It doesn’t make it right, or legal, but it happens. So I’m not really sure why it comes as a surprise that a girl who’s practically an adult in every way except for her actual age MAY OR MAY NOT be having an adult drink.

Another thing: these kinds of bars just have a really laid-back atmospehere. It’s kind of like sitting in your lawnchairs, with beer… Most of them are in old buildings, rather than lush, modern buildings with crushed velvet seats… A lot of them even have ceiling fans to help with the smothering heat of the humidity. And even picnic tables inside. Of course, in New Orleans, they have some better bars….. but in general, a lot of the bars in La and Miss. are full of bare wood, fans, picnic tables and DIXIE CUPS! LOL …………………….. They DO have actually GLASSES for their drinks, but why use those for draft beers and soda when they’re likely to get broken?
I don’t even know why I feel the need to say all that… it’s just funny to me.

So she’s old enough, if you will, to have a baby and be responsible for another human being but not old enough to have a drink? Does that not sound jacked?

I say let her blow off a little steam. She deserves a night out.

woah allie…break it down! when you put it that way, she is doing pretty well! kudos to you for taking a “sad” story and making us see that it really isn’t the end of the world for Ms. Jamie-Lynn.

wow. trent, that comes off as a little judgmental. it’s a baby, not the plague. and anyway, that zoey show wasn’t exactly leading her on the road to an oscar nomination. it’s obviously more healthy for her to be out of the spotlight and taking responsibility for her child (and omg how dare a legal adult drink alcohol just because they happen to be born in a country with one of the highest drinking ages in the world?! not). britney was more famous than jamie is now but look at what that eventually did to her – do we want another one of those? i usually like your commentary, but when i don’t it’s kinda really obvious that trying to widen your perspective in some aspects wouldn’t hurt…

**********But usually, if you order soda, they’ll pour it in the same cups they’re using for beers, so you can’t really tell who’s got alcohol or who doesn’t**********

THANK YOU!! Just because she has a cup in her hand, doesn’t necessarily mean she’s drinking alcohol. But if it is, who are any of ya’ll to judge? And I totally agree with Krisiti and Kendra. Her situation is in no way sad. Who’s to say she can’t make it HUGE in a few years? If you’re considering having a child at 17 a sad situation, then let’s break it down. She’s educated. She’s financially stable. She was never FORCED back to Louisiana, as she CHOSE to go back for the safety of her child. She owns her own home with the guy she loves. She has the life at 18 that most people 30 years her senior would envy. And the best part, she still has a whole lifetime ahead of her to do whatever her heart desires. SUPER sad story.

Meh, she’s prolly drinking, but it’s an 18+ bar, and she’s 18, so her being there isn’t a big deal.
