I think its sad this quote is in here, this poor girl just had a miscarriage and these insulting jerks are talking about her like she's trash cuz she got pregnant. Its a part of life people. And have some sympathy.

Hey Mom, what should I eat for breakfast? Whatever!
Hey, Mom, what shall I be when I grow up? I am not the best example!

Thanks for nothing, MOM!

Folks, she's not just making this comment because of her age. Everyone's different, and "the right time" means something to everyone.
Are you all aware of Ms Allen's much-publicized drinking antics (sometimes while on stage)? She's no Amy Winehouse, but she is probably showing some wisdom (and far more self-awareness than many celebs) in saying "don't model my behavior."
Nothing wrong with that. Just because you're famous doesn't mean people should look up to you, and she's acknowledging that. (And I'm not really a fan of hers, so this kind of surprised me)

By the age of 22 I had been living on my own for six years, married and divorced, recieved an associates of science degree, traveled overseas, worked and lived in four different countries, and was back in America pregnant with the child of a boyfriend I'd lived with for a year in Ireland. I was the happiest woman alive to be having a baby. I looked young for my age and recieved alot of criticism. I was responsible, independent, nurturing and undaunted by every challenge. It matters not the age, there are good moms, AND moms who just can't handle the role, in every age and in every wealth bracket.

WELL what happened to you >>>>> Jamie

4. Ok, I kind of take offense to what she says...she's pretty much saying that all 22 year olds are too young to get pregnant, that we aren't good role models. Well that's all on an individual basis if you ask me. As long as you're truly emotionally and financially ready for a baby, there's no problem with it. I just turned 23 in December and had a beautiful baby boy in October. He was planned. I have a wonderful husband and am a registered nurse. I am at a great place in life. I would consider myself a role model for other girls my age...as long as you're sure you're ready for the responsibility, are in love, and are financially stable, there is absolutely nothing wrong with bringing a beautiful baby into this world.

I think this quote makes her one of the best spokespersons for maternity I've ever heard. Honesty is worth more than self righteous bigots.

" These comments about the sex ed are priceless. Sex education should come from the home regardless of whether your children attend public school or private school or whether they are home schooled or cyber schooled."

I agree! And parents just have to face reality...Get your Daughter on the Pill by age 13! Not AFTER they start having sex or Get Pregant..
It's for Self Preservation for the Entire Family, not just for her...
