Earning? Where else can she "earn" $30,000 a year as a HS dropout, much less for a single appearance telling people not to do as she does, do as she says do?
Had it not been for Mama there would be no possibility whatever that she would be offered anything at all to speak to anyone about anything. If she is worth $30,000 for a lecture, why isn't a teen mother from the projects in L.A. worth $30,000 a speech? Bristol is very, very much dependent on her mother to make a living. I doubt she could hold a real job with no skills except as a babysitter.
Why isn't she going to college so she can learn something and get a real job?
There is many high school drop outs that earn 30k a year.
So what if she has an advantage because of her mother. You think shes the only person to have 1 because of a parent? I mean come on thats just silly.
Mtv is paying many teens to be on a show called Teen moms. How much do you think they earn?
She was the pregnant daughter of a (unsuccessful )VP REPUBLICAN candidate...she had NO choice but to have the baby....so praising her for keeping it is stupid.
You sure do assume a lot. You assume to know her speech is telling teens to have sex. You assume she didnt want to keep the baby.
There is always a choice . No matter how much you wish to make believe otherwise. Wait we can assume there isnt always a choice.
You progressives had better start seeking therapy for "Palin derangement syndrome".
If a group is willing to pay her, what does it matter to you anyway?
Dont you know what republicans do in their private lives is democrats/liberals business. But what a democrat /liberal does is no ones business.
Just ignore how they talk about what people do in their bedrooms is their business ( which it is) but that doesnt apply to republicans only democrat/liberals / progressives
If Bristol Palin wanted me to listen to her talk, she'd have to pay me!
I wonder how much she charges to get her pregnant.
good grief
you are just pissed because someone pays her big bucks, how much do you make talking...let's see...zip nadda, nothing
and what a repulsive sexist statement, but who is surprised??
No it didn't work for her but her message might work for someone else. Does that mean we stop trying? I dint understand your logic it didn't work for Bristol so that must mean it will never work
Teens dint listen to adults. We tell a teen something and they want to do the opposite of what we say. So thats why we need other teens to talk to teens because they will listen.
Why are you all so upset with her earning a dollar. Its almost like some would rather she be on welfare or dependent on her mother.
Why do you think those teens that does the show for MTV 16 and Preg or teen moms does those shows? Dont you think its partly because of the money and because of the message they can share with other teens.
Maybe the one on welfare would have a bigger impact than the one earning the big bucks? A "scared straight" type of thing.
Seriously though, what can she actually say? She HAD sex, she HAD the baby, and unless she is going to talk about how she regrets all that (and how can she? SHE HAS THE BABY!!) there isn't much she can say or do that will encourage abstinence in anyone. Her life turned out fine, and that's all anyone is going to see.
I'd be more impressed if she continued her education and got a regular job, that's something others can aspire to do. Nobody else can get by doing what Bristol is doing and THAT is the problem with this.

Great post!
