To add more fuel to the teen pregnancy fire surrounding the Palin family, Jamie Lynn Spears thought it would be a nice gesture to send Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's 17-year-old pregnant daughter, a baby gift with a card reading "hang in there." While I'm not one to judge these girls or their decisions to be young moms, I did think this was a little bizarre — they don't even know each other!

Jamie Lynn is no stranger to public scrutiny, so I have to ask why she'd turn the spotlight on Bristol and back onto herself. I could be overthinking this, but tell me: Do you think this is a situation where a young girl trying to support another young woman in the same position is a good idea? Or do you think her gesture caused more harm than good by bringing more unwanted publicity to her personal life?
Update - Turns out that Lynne Spears has denied any gifts were sent.










Jamie Lynn should have just mind her own business. She probably had good intentions, but I don't see her going around sending cards to EVERY single pregnant teenager. Bristol is lucky enough to have a supportive family that lover her, while a lot of other teenagers are in tougher spots -- Bristol is not one of them, as she'll be well taken care of, even if her Mom doesn't become the next VP.
