I don't think this is as much judgemental as it might be ironic. There is an irony here as it relates to the family, the book on parenting that the mother was coming out with, older sister's problems, issues, etc. Like it or not, when you are a celebrity and have some part of your life -- most often more than you could ever want -- in the public eye, there are always going aspects that put you, your actions, etc. -- your life -- into question.
I work with many professional athletes, entertainers, celebrities, etc. who often live and speak out of each side of their mouth. And of course, the opposite is true to, as there are others who live their live as they are.
In this case, I do not think this is an indictment of anyone or everyone who gets/got pregnant at 16 or any age for that mattter. Married, single, etc. doesn't matter to me either. I don't have an issue with that. I do think there is an irony, perhaps amusing or funny to some, as to what has gone on with the Spears family. However, I don't think it is taking pleasure at someone else's misfortune. I am not speaking to those people, nor will I ever. I don't think those people need anyone to comment to them. They are the way they are regardless.
