Way to go Bristol!
You took a bad situation and made something positive out of it!
You grew up!!!
Now you are able to help other girls and make money on top of it.
No killing for you, you accept responsbility for your actions and will be a great mother.
Just like your Mother before you..
I applaud you and hope all your dreams come true!

Are you upset over the Teen Moms cashing in on being teen moms for the TV show on MTV? There is also the show 16 and Pregnant are you just as upset with them? b

I dont get how this is any of your business to be honest?

Yeah lets just pass out condoms and hope for the best We need more teens having babies in this world.
I have never seen the Teen Mom's show, sounds horrific.
I never said it was my business, but this is a public forum where one is allowed to express an opinion, which I have.
Passing out condoms seems a whole lot smarter to me than preaching abstinence. Once again, this is only my opinion

Its actually a great show. I think all teens should have to watch it. Teens tend to not listen to adults. So when they see other teens struggling to go through being pregnant and then having the baby and school.

See I think the intelligent thing to do is talk to them about both. Trying to get them to not have sex at all. But if they are going to have safe sex. But not having sex should be the choice.

Anyway kinda hard to talk to about something that admits to being bias about the topic.

have a nice day

YES! Please Bristol DO tell all those young girls how having a baby is SOOOOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL! Why NOT SCREW around and have unprotected sex with lots of people 'cause you can make MONEY talking about it!!!

Great message!!!!

Don't forget the part about making sure you have an equally money hungry mama to smooth every bump in the road!!! A rich mama to make sure that without an education or a real job life as a single mom is heaven!!!



I think people who applaud teens having sex and getting pregnant have a screw loose.....aren't they the ones who scream Keep Your Legs Together!!!

Arent you saying they should keep their legs closed also? So seems you agree with Palin on this issue. I think its great that you and Palin have something in common

Where do you get that Bristol is going to go around telling teens to have sex? Having a baby is wonderful but I dont think she is recommending teens have babies.

I think the only people who may be envious of Bristol are other teens who had a baby but find that nobody wants to pay them $$ to speak or consider them heros. In fact, they are frowned upon and often unable to find work.

Bristol is doing just what her mom is doing, cashing in on the infamy and striking while the iron is hot. There doesn't have to be substance to anything they do as long as they repeat a couple of key phrases that their fans like to hear. It's that way for all people who land in the public eye.

No, I'm saying that BRISTOL has nothing to say BUT "Hey, have unprotected sex, having a baby is WONderful!"

And it's not a very good message.....what else WOULD she say???


No, I agree with Palin on nothing.....but I like to point out that while Repugs scream Keep Your Legs Together they have nothing but adoration for Bristol The Loose Leg Opener.

I believe teens WILL have sex (they've been doing so for several thousand years), abstinence only is ridiculous, so they should have PROTECTED sex....

Bristol did not kill her baby and her mother didn't either.
Is that why you are throwing up in your mouth?
I would be throwing up all over the place if they had!!!
She took the high road and she is to be respected for that!

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.
When you're a high school dropout with a bastard child, no husband, and no other prospects to feed him, I guess you have to do what you have to do.
