Star Catcher
Keisha Castle-Hughes: Jamie Lynn's Role Model

Not many people can say they've been nominated for an Academy Award and gotten knocked up by the time they are 16 -- but Keisha Castle-Hughes can!

Now 18, the "Whale Rider" turned unwed mom and her 14-month-old daughter strolled through Auckland, New Zealand on Tuesday.

If only Jamie Lynn could win an Oscar for "Zoey 101."

16. 14. You are exactly right # 12. I left my sons father because he beat the sh&% out of me. I am an unwed mother. So I guess that makes me a stupid irresponsible slut. Now I guess things are up to date..... Jerk

17. Why did the not rip keisha up in the press when she got preggers at 16...only because name spears sells more did they tear her apart. They should be commended for taking responsibilty for their actions.

20. These young mothers will never been seen as anything other then tramps, sluts! Whatever! Back in the good old days young girls were having sex and getting pregnant!!! Yes, the were having SEX but, they were forced to get married! Didn't want the neighbours talking. I commend these young woman for continuing with their pregnancies and having thier babies. To each their own. Leave them alone to rasie and enjoy their children instead of calling them horrible names. Tell me if all of you who dare to call them sluts and tramps how many people have you been with????? Stop the HATE!

21. i highly doubt these girls wish this upon themselves...( i have three children ALL of which were conceived one multiple forms of birth control) but really is there any reason they are any less prepared than a good percentage of women who have kids and really just dont care..theyve been forced to grow up beyond their years living in the spotlight..i think the sole fact that they are FAR more pressured to be better parents is quite demanding and causes them to be more cautious. moreover...a thousand years ago it was QUITE normal for a teenaged girl to be paired out and impregnated... actually thats pretty much been the way it was up until a hundred years ago or so.

for chr*sts sake, leave them alone. they have so much on their hands, and the public scrutiny is just compounding the already stressful state. and really maybe you nay sayers should take your own drivel and go pay attention to your own children...

24. Shes not an american, and I'm sure that in her culture and up bringing its normal for a 16 year old to have a child and shes out of the lime light raising her child. She seem peaceful and natural at it
