Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant: Nickelodeon Airing Teen Pregnancy Special?
Nickelodeon is seriously thinking about airing a special on teen pregnancy after their star Jamie Lynn Spears revealed that she was pregnant .
The special would be hosted by Linda Ellerbee in order to help parents explain the drama to their kids.Here are some tips when talking to your children:
1. Ask your children questions
“Find out what your children’s thoughts are: What’s your understanding? What do you think about Jamie Lynn being pregnant at 16 and unmarried?”2. Be honest
“Parents need to be straight forward and say, ‘This is not a wise choice.’”3. See if your child knows about birth control
“Do they understand that having [unprotected sex] is not a wise decision? It’s very hard because kids will probably always have facts before their parents are ready to give them. But you have to deal with that kind of discomfort.”4. Tell them the consequences of having a baby so young
“In general, the statement needs to be, ‘It’s a really sad situation.’ Tell them it’s ideal to have a child when you’re an adult, and you’ve had a whole range of experiences and you’re ready to settle down in your life. It’s not ideal when you’re a teenager.”5. Help them find a new role model
“I think it’s fair to say, ‘This is not who you want to emulate. You might like her, enjoy her work, but her personal life is not one you want to emulate.’”
Or you can just say,if you get knocked up,I’ll kick you out of the house and you will be homeless and you will die in the cold and of starvation.
That should keep them from having unsafe sex.
