Bristol Palin: Abstinence is 'Not Realistic at All'

In her first interview since the birth of her son Tripp, 18-year-old Bristol Palin says she thinks everyone should practice abstinence, but admits the practice is unrealistic.

"Everyone should be abstinent, but it's not realistic," Bristol explained to FOX News. "[Sex] is more and more accepted among kids my age." The teenager's views on abstinence-only education differ from that of her mother, Gov. Sarah Palin, who backed abstinence-only education when she ran for governor in 2006.

The young mother, who is engaged to the baby's father, Levi Johnston, admitted that she wished she had waited to have children, but said she has no regrets. "Of course, I wish it would happen in like 10 years so I could have a job and education and my own house... But he brings so much joy. I don't regret it at all."

Bristol also revealed that telling her parents about her pregnancy was "harder than labor." When Sarah entered the interview, she was asked about her unwed daughter having a baby, the former GOP VP hopeful simply said, "Not the most ideal situation, certainly you make the most of it."


NEXT: Do You Have the Best Abs?

 

It’s quite entertaining to see all these relentless slams on not only Ms. Palin (whom has proven she can handle anything) but also her DAUGHTER?? What ever happened to “off limits” with the children??

None the less.. what’s amusing is the fact that every person responding is now, or one day will be the absolutely PERFECT PARENT!!? I mean, your children are (or will be) saints and angels.. they’d never ever do such things at Bristol has done. And you’ll never ever be the parent that Sarah Palin is right? Kids don’t come with “instructions” .. no pamphlets or directions in the way to shape their mind and personality. They simply BECOME whom they will BECOME. Sure parents are an “influence”.. but there comes a time the cord is cut, and guess what- it’s up to YOU (the children) to think and make the “right” decision. Sometimes right turns into wrong.. and there is NOTHING anyone can do about it.

I just wish I was as “perfect” as all of you people apparently are!!!

Come on people. Who are you to judge someone else unless you are standing in their shoes. At least she had the sense to have the baby and is willing to take care of it. Do not judge lest ye be judged.

Abstinence is not realistic for the hot teens. For the average ones, sure.

Strange that FAUXNews doesn’t have this story up on their website anywhere.

I find it interesting that Bristol said “It was my choice to have the baby”. This equates to her being pro-Choice.

Bristol was passed around at parties for any guy to poke when she was passing out drunk, Levi just got stuck being the last guy in, they will never marry, not going to happen, he’s not that stupid.

Everyone should leave Palin and her family alone. I mean what makes you so sure she put her daughter up to this? Please explain your assumption with a logical convincing answer.
