Nickelodeon may air teen pregnancy special
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Bump Watch, Celeb Kids, Rumors, In The News, That's Entertainment
In light of the Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy announcement, the children's network Nickelodeon (home of Spear's popular Zoey 101 show) is said to be talking with Linda Ellerbee about a special program on teenage sex and love.
Ellerbee is a veteran newswoman who has lead shows for the network in the past talking to children about difficult issues in the news. She's done shows about same-sex parents, AIDS, the Columbine shooting, President Clinton's impeachment scandal, and terrorism.
"I think it's important that something be done," Ellerbee told The Associated Press on Thursday. "But I think it's important that it be done in a measured way, and not just to feed the beast of news stories.
I love Linde Ellerbee and have watched many of her children's special topic shows in that past. I'm certain she'll do a great job with this sensitive topic, that like it or not, children of all ages are already talking about.

concerned parent said...i have 3 really young kids who love nickelodeon but if they are going to go along and act like it is ok for a 16 to have a baby then they no longer will watch this channel you dont see that on disney, it happens enough in everyday life to have to answer questions about things they hear at school and such but to keep zoey 101 going and not punishing her for doing this irresponsible act then that is sending messages to young girls who look up to jamie as zoey and it sends the wrong message i mean she is rich can she not afford condoms, or some birth control methods? just another thing to add to the list of things on how not to be like a spears.
