[Jolieprincesse1812]

:)

AM IN LOVE WITH ALL YOUR VIDEOS HUN & FIRST OF ALL..WITH YOU <3<3

[hoytwilliam]

are you gay?

[goodcharlotte48]

i think i know britney

[coolcat000me]

YOU SAID IT ALL.

[tashball]

I want to know WHAT YOU MISS about your life BEFORE CHILDREN??? Let me know on my video "NOW YOU'RE A MOM"

[BUGABOOCO09]

god that baby is helllla cute!!

[CreoleOhio]

I mean you and your baby! Not job, lol.

[CreoleOhio]

I agree. Teen moms: DON'T drop out of school. Getting an education is perhaps one of the BEST things you can do for you and your job. Nowadays, you can't go far with only a high school diploma. Imagine having NO diploma and only completing the 10th grade? Employers aren't going to chose someone who is underqualified for the job, a job that YOU will need to support yourself and your baby.

[smukzie]

ooh, She's so cute. (:

[adamnations]

go to college

regardless of the cost

even if you live the next 20 years in debt

GO TO COLLEGE

[yumpop2313]

Twenty years in debt is fucking insane, and not worth it!

Most of the worlds most contributing people never finished college, so don't do that.

[RandomSharpies]

wow :]

[00pure00]

[IjustWatchedYourMovE]

Wow cody great advice! I've shown this to my friend Cameron who showed it to his pregnant younger sister and she has it set as one of her fvorites! So thanks a lot for helping us to help her :)

[ccaian1]

sry theres a thought in between never and you

[ccaian1]

nice job cody

i never you could answer  such a serious case such as this

5/5

[bestfriends4eva07]

aww her baby is so cute :)

[LionKingForeverVeg]

Ignore the bitches talking about you, keep up in school, get help, and live life. That's all I got <3

[imasupafreakyo]

advice on being a teen father? lol jk.

[alkalinextrioxconz]

definitely just do whatever you can to make sure that you get a good education, get into a good college, and get a good, well-paying career that you also are happy doing. and make sure that your adorable daughter isn't left out of your life.

[bengallily]

I can agree with most of what was said, but I can't agree with all the people that say to rely on your family for help. Yes, they are always there and can help, but the key word is HELP. Your parents already raised a baby. This one is yours and your responsibility, which you chose to have in the first place. You can't just pass him/her off whenever you get fed up. However, I do have friends who are teen mothers, and I give most of them credit for stepping up and doing what needed to be done :)

[SelenaEna95]

just keep wat u doign brit and dont let anything get in ur way if u dont hvae one get a job so u can support her

love

selena

[offwithurhead]

well i have to agree cody and someone that said something about homeschooling cause if you don't go to school or do the homeschooling thing then when you grow older you will me sorry and will want somekind of a job

offcourse you should count on your family cause they won't say no and remember to love the kid and remember that none of it is his/her fault but don't blame yourself too case you obviously can't reverse it so you should except it and keep living your life:)

[offwithurhead]

oh and baby definatly is really adourable:D

[shauna471]

Hi, I Was a Teen mother . I Had my daughters (twins) when i was 15 and one thing that makes all the hard times seem soo worth it is how close me and my daughters are. because there isnt so much of a generation gap i can relate to them far easyer that i would of been able to had of been an older mother . my teenage years are fresh im my mind i can clearly rememer my mistakes and the exact frame of mind i was in when i made them . so i take that and use it so that my kids dont do the same x

[autpsybarbied0ll]

:D that baby is gorgeous.

[rockellramsey]

your cute.

[roachmeistercom]

Wow, what a cool video.

[BROKENEMOHEART12]

god i ♥ u

AWESOME vid

[freakyygurll075]

britney, if you cant handle the stuff at school do homeschooling like ECOT or ODELA <- something like that :)

you can stay at home and be doing school while your with your kid :)

[FueledByRock]

Great advice, especially the bit about having friends and family help you out. I say that you should definitely get your parents to help. They've done the child-rearing thing before, so I'm sure they will be able to (and want to) help. Good luck. Also, the baby is adorable.

[ThomasIsTired]

Good advice, I can't give any better!:P

[chellybeans164]

great advice my man; btw you and your gf are adorable.

[Alvette]

I though it was going to be funn.. im confused, are you secretly a mother? :S

She needs to take responcibility and realice its a life she's dealing with, and it means that you CANT actually give yourself a break all the time, its serious buissness, thats why most people wait. Hope she's getting help from her parents and wish her all the luck. Im sure its more of a blessing than a curse really ;)

[xcitric]

In order to give her baby a good life, she has to have perseverance these next few years so that she can go to college, establish a career, and give her child a good life. She definitely should ignore negative comments thrown at her, and - like sumfight said - should establish a savings account both for her and her baby.

She's gotten through the first eighteen months with this child, I'm positive she'll be able to remain tough for a few more years. Good luck, Britney.

[DanceDance911]

Great Advice Cody !! I agree with you 100% :)

[mishedavid]

good advice cody, you have a good head on our shoulders:) and i totally agree with you. even though her life isn't going to be the same because of the baby, she shouldn't change everything, like drop out of school, to look after her. keep going strong girl!

[sk8errrr]

use condoms kids.

[ughitsbrandon]

sumfight is the new dr. phil.....except he's not a prick

[cisslayer]

lol no

[souprawr]

just don't give up.

oh and that baby is adorable. i just want to give her a hug <3

[iWILEAT]

live your life as a teen noramlly would. ask for extra help when taking care of the baby. Your mom would be the best person to ask.

[yescandles]

Unfortunately she stopped being a child herself when she made the choices and decisions she made...as did the father of the child. Now, they have to step up to the plate and make the baby their number 1 priority. I disagree that what she needs is "a break every now and again".Quite the opposite. I hope they both realize the baby is their responsibility, no one elses. Remaining in school is only an option if she can manage to do that AND care for her baby, including meeting all her baby's needs.

[ajkl27]

but if she doesnt finish highschool she cant give the baby a good life so I would encourage her to do so

[blahblahblahblaaaah]

You have some good points but what would you honestly do if you were in this sort of situation?

[yescandles]

I would realistically asess where I stand. Do I have money? A place to stay? Any help with babysitting? Health Insurance for the baby? What help is available to me? Is the baby's father REALLY responsible? What help can I count on from him? What can I count on from family members without causing them problems? Do I need local or State assistance? What is available? Do I qualify, and if so apply immediately. Also I would take a close look at my life and see what needs to be changed to be a mother

[bengallily]

Thank you! Someone finally made some sense here.. look, I have no problem with young mothers, and am very proud of some that I know, but I am proud cause they really work hard to give their child a good life, without relying on everyone to do it for them.

[XxAdidas92xX]

wicked cute baby

[truesurvivor586]

i agree stay in school, i have a friend who is 17 with a 18month old baby and she is still in school and she doesn't even have baby daddy around to help her with the baby if she can do it you can too

[jolantru4747]

Great Advice! That sums it all up.

[kylethebest2]

CUTE BABY!!!!!

[OkayinAsec]

what cody said was honestly enough. and just to let britney know she has a lot of support on youtube from ppl who don't even no her. so keep going!

[india828]

shes so cute

[ladysaphia]

Dr. Corey

[xbendiistraw]

that baby is sooooooooo adorableeeee <33

[Fuckyouallwhore]

awee what a adorable baby. and great video :)

[muzikaluv]

i agree with wat you said. and theres' not much to add.

and i think that it's awesome how their still together.

the baby is adorable.

ya she should still go to school and honestly not pay attention to wat other ppl say cause ppl that talk have nothing better to do with their lives.

[xoxvictoriaaxox]

love love love the outfit.

[Agriking]

Eh, what you said was enough. I don't think I could improve upon it.

[AnthonyRock422]

that was an amasing YAQMA

[inuyashanaruto188]

your so right :) and cute baby

[SAmluvs2dance5]

aww that baby is so adorable!

[beddersox]

Very nice, Cody. You're extremely mature. I love that you don't always answer the funny YAQMA questions, but more serious ones too.

[dangerboy2001]

I friggin love your hand motions..haha, were you born in new york?

but as far as the girl goes? You know it is going to be tough...but its something she will have to do, and will be stronger for it. She will have to go to school, be a mom, and go to work. Sucks she has to do all at once, but honestly, not to sound rude, thats kind of her consequence for not being careful. BUT she will be a better person from it if she can really apply herself and try! :)

[ScorpiusRising]

true that!

[rckgrl05]

Be careful when giving over-the-counter and prescription medicines always ask for a plastic dosing syringe & ask the pharmacist to show you how far to pull up or have them draw a line with a red sharpie. Overdoses are the reason why so many infant products were pulled off the market.

[sk8terhoy]

I'M TOUCHED =,)

[Coleslayer9]

I think you said all that needed to be said dude.

[scottklaw]

The Cool Cody you be.

[xxcrazyponyloverxx]

stay togather with the father so you can go it togather <:)

[ItsEmilijaBetchx3]

aww the baby is sooo cute [:

anyways i agree with Cody. you should definitely go out and like your life. but the baby would need you so whenever you wanna take a break from that and go to the movies with your friends or whatever then make your mom watch the baby.

[gerardwaysfriend]

hmmmm i wld say stay together and be a team and hold eachothers heads up through this its not easy and for your daughters sake stay together so she can know her father and get some support for your friends and i think youtube should start a thing to help the teen mothers like you because i know its not easy and what a beautiful child :]

[wizart49]

outstanding advice.

[raconter1]

Very serious question here- mom and dad's economic self sufficiency will directly have a bearing on Brittney. Not only do you guys need to succeed for yourselves and your daughter. As you say, Cody, the family network here is very important, as this young family moves toward self sufficiency! :) Jack

[person12369]

Really good advice.

I want to molest your hair:]

bahaha

[seprehuoyeviglli]

Stay Strong.

[Lexacana]

adorable baby Brittney... stay in school because as the baby gets older it will need more and more from you financially ...without an education means no promising job.. keep your support system close, good luck!

[keithzworld]

Great advice Cody, couldn't of said it better!

[pest55233]

good advice cody!

[chaoscontrot]

She can get government aid for being an underaged teen mother. She just needs to go looking int he right places there are even scholarships for this kind of thing.

I applaud her decision to keep her child, abortion truly is murder, no fucking lie.

Your boyfriend should definitely do his part in raising the kid and you shouldn't even consider dropping out because if job one else, he will be there for you. You might need an in-highschool job now =/ Best of luck to ya!

[xpyroxchickx13x]

cody gave you good advice

well congrats on the baby brittney i agree u need to live ur life but don't live ur life so much that u 'forget' to care for ur baby & pls just realize that ur family is there to help u... not take care of the kid for u & just make sure u remember to thank every1 who is supporting u & helpin. my friend (who was 19 when she had her baby) isn't the greatest mother, & never thanked anyone who helped her & now no one wants to help JUST BE THANKFUL for the help you have!

[sam4nic]

She should research and look into schools that are especially for mothers. They provide you with a good education as well as child care..... So you and your baby go and while you study, the baby is taken care of. It's worth a try.

[ebagots]

That was great advice. But in some places there are high schools that are specifically for teen mothers. That would be a great option in my opinion because you can be with your kid at the same time, it'll be challenging at first, but it'll work out.

[WiltedRosesxx]

great advice :) that is definately the cutest baby I've ever seen :) good god good luck to Brittney :) xx

[DustinHsiao]

Wow. That's an interesting question. I'm not going to say anything Cody hasn't already, but, yes, do create and maintain a support network of people to help keep your life going. That goes for parents of all descriptions, of course.

Also, as Cody said, taking care of a child is work but use your support network to make sure that work doesn't force you to forget entirely about you. :)

Congratulations. That is certainly an adorable little thing. :) Keep strong and keep happy.

Cheers,

Dustin

[mizzemmyc123]

i think brittney

cud go to college or get night school

then she wudnt have to see the ppl see use to be with if she didnt want to

xx

[AlasseMeneldur]

good advice!

[xAccordianGuyx]

You always give great advice :D

[MadiMayhem23]

cody=ftw.

[spintopbikes]

Great Advice For Her

[Mikisthatchick]

cody, i can see you totally pwning dr. phil someday.

[panicatthediscoROCKZ]

Great advice; very sweet. The baby is such a little cutie pie! :)

[IKissingTheLipless]

Oh and in my opinion, it seems as if her parents are not willing to help out much, so it's probably really hard for her to go to school. I'd say to do everything you can to stay in school, and maybe every once in a while have your parents or a friend babysit her and have a date night with her father to relieve the stress you must be feeling.

If you must drop out of school, then you should get your GED and enroll in some type of online college classes. Whatever you do, do not drop out completely.

[PlayRadioPlayTheUsed]

I like this.

You are a pretty cool kat, Cody.

And I think that yea, she should stay in school because the more you know, the more better you can do for other people :D

-Maggie!

[IKissingTheLipless]

Oh god, the second I saw the name of this video I thought it would be hilarious, but it ended up being really sweet and insightful, especially coming from a guy :)

Oh and the picture....WOW, what an adorable baby!!!

[xIchHasseDichx]

Wow.

The mature side of Cody.

:0)

[Th33mporor]

totaly agree with you dude!

[coolsteven2]

nice

[zackphaze453]

take some online classeS?

[gogobunny18]

I also think that she should stay in high school. I'm pretty sure her parents will help her out. just remember your still 16. you still need to have fun like one, but take care of the baby as well. be mature but no how to let loose. dont let go of your adolescence yet, it doesn't last forever. That is SO kick ass you guys are still together & thank goodness you didnt give up the child. I am so just...flabbergasted..thats so awesome.

[sumfight]

Very nice comment, I'm sure she will love it :)

[FeliciaXXFantasa]

Haha Aaaaaaaaawe[:

[TheSealsWineRed]

sweet

[gogobunny18]

thats really bad ass that youre helping someone with something like that. I really hate when people look down on people because of that. just as long as theyre in love. & thats great that theyre together. & OMG! what a cute baby lol.

[sumfight]

I know, it really was a cutie pie :P

[zant112]

cool!
