I made some screen shots of Bristol's baby Tripp for you. What a cutie! And here's a short video clip of Bristol's interview.
Eighteen year-old Sarah Palin had an interview on FOX News last night where she discussed teen pregnancy and life as a teenage mother.
"I hope people learn from my story … It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."
Palin, 18, also said that her mother's view of abstinence, especially in regard to teenagers, is "not realistic at all."
Recounting how she first informed her parents, Bristol said that getting the words out of her mouth was "harder than labor."
I think teen abstinence is unrealistic, generally speaking, but it should be taught in addition to thorough sex education with a focus on birth control methods. Teen abstinence all depends on the teens in question. Some teens don't date and don't have any prospects while in junior high and high school so, for the most part, those kids are safe. But if your kids have a lot of friends of the opposite sex and spend time out on dates, than yeah, they're probably having sex on your bed and using your sex toys!

Makes me want to lock my kids up. But the reality is that kids need to work. Have a part time job, because there are way too many of them having too much free time. And they do some crazy things with that free time.

seriously sex ed needs to be taught and various forms of birth control need to be taught. it is unrealistic to EXPECT abstinence to work - ummm clearly its not!
