Jamie Lynn Spears Passes GED Exam, Eyes College
Fading from the spotlight after her pregnancy announcement, Jamie Lynn Spears is making the news again for reasons actually worth noting. The 16-year-old Zoey 101 star is getting a jump on her education by passing her GED.
Spears passed her high school equivalency exam just under a month ago, and is planning on taking the ACTs to apply for college. This move would put the Nickelodeon star ahead of the average student by only being 17 years old when she could theoretically start college classes.
According to one of Jamie Lynn Spear’s friends, “She wants to take her ACT. She’s not wasting any time. People don’t know her. When she gets something in her head, she’ll make it happen. Everybody is so supportive of her.”
This is a strong move by Spears in the wake of her pregnancy with Casey Aldridge. Pregnancy would prevent most teenagers from making it to college, but it would appears that Jamie Lynn is bucking the trend and setting a positive example for other young girls that are in her similar situation.

Jen, I started at 16, but the thing is, it’s a freakin’ SPEARS that is possibly doing it. xD Seriously though, that’s good that she’s doing that, but I wanna say that you don’t have to nesscessarly have a GED or have graduated to get to be in college too. I’m dual enrolled in both college and HS which is awesome cuz Florida pays for it!
