Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy blasted by teen magazine editors

Casey Aldridge and Jamie LynnJamie Lynn Spears' shocking pregnancy has been blasted by teen magazine editors, it has been revealed.

CosmoGIRL! Editor-in-Chief Susan Schulz, told Us weekly magazine: "I was considering her for an upcoming cover, but with this news, I’d have to rethink that."

Though Schulz praised 16-year-old Spears for “taking responsibility,” Schulz added: “I don’t feel like I can put her on the cover right now because, as you can imagine, girls are disappointed in Jamie Lynn.”

Seventeen magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Ann Shoket, added: “we would certainly consider putting Jamie Lynn on the cover, but only after she overcomes this moment and goes on “to have a career our readers can look up to."

“Getting pregnant at 16 is not something we're encouraging,” Shoket says.

Schulz continued that she doesn’t expect teen girls to follow in Britney Spears' little sister's footsteps.

“Girls aren’t going to go out and get pregnant because Jamie Lynn did, quite the opposite,” the Shoket says. She said they’re probably thinking, "'I’m so glad that’s not me.'"

Schulz said Spears “appears to be very resolved in her decision, and regardless of whether girls agree with her actions or not, they see that she is doing what she personally feels is best despite the uproar over her news.”
