Its not necessarily a cultural thing though I don't think, to get pregnant young, like she said she didn't plan it... but it is more culturally acceptable and it is common for a child to be raised by an entire family, thus a greater support structure...

Keisha is a real person with real life issues. The Spears family (or any of those babies-for-attention families) have no freaking clue what its like to actually raise a child. I can't speak from experience, but still... Maybe, Grex, but she sure isn’t clinking gold coins together… Keisha is a real person with real life issues.

Having just returned from an extended stay in New Zealand, Maori (pronounced something close to "mau-ree") is the name of the native polynesian people of New Zealand, not a tribe. There are "tribes" of Maori, but they are called "Iwi" (ee-wee). I did a bit of poking around but was unable to ascertain which Iwi Keisha belongs to but Zoe was absolutely correct. People need to stop placing their cultural values upon a culture which they clearly know nothing about.

If anyone hasn't seen it, do it. Now. That said, I can't believe the flack this poor girl received from the public about her early pregnancy. The religious community was up in arms as she had played The Virgin Mary in "The Nativity Story". Keisha is not American, she's part of the Maori tribe of New Zealand. People have children and marry younger and she has a ton of support. People need to let go of their cultural attitudes and need to be more accepting and less judgmental. I would love to see her act again, she's awesome. Who else pics up an Oscar nom as a child in their first picture and then scores a role in Star Wars in her second?!

I know there are a lot of young celebs that get knocked up and end up not having the baby. I give her total props for having the baby.

I'm nearly twice her age (ouch), and I'm sure I'm not as grown-up as she is. Good for her... :-) That is the most put-together, ADULT-sounding 19-year-old ever.
