I am totally baffled by where these mother's minds are. Do they not think of the child's future when they give them these odd names....Inspector Pilot - Banjo - Jermagesty. (Shaking my head, walking away mumbling to myself.)

I'm sorry to hear about Miss Palin. I really was hoping she'd marry her babydaddy, settle down, and have a happy life. But these things are difficult at any age and, I suppose, when you're still in HS they are even more difficult.

About Ms Heche, the less said, the better. When I read that name, the only thing I can think of is that terribly Ayn Rand book, Atlas Shrugged. Oy. And I NEVER want to think of that book

I find it appalling that merriment is being made of an unwed teenager's problems, regardless of what office her mother ran for (bad, bad Sarah for thinking a Republican female could be Vice President).

She is a private citizen. Not a celebrity.

100% agree with OG!!

Now that the election is over, (especially now) the media should be leaving this child alone. It's her mother that is the public figure. I had/have no problem with the media discussing Sarah Palin's stand on the issue of sex education and pointing out how well it worked for her family but this report has nothing at all to do with that...... it is strictly a bit of gossip that didn't need to be publically known.

Plus, it's just that, gossip. They could be very happily still together.

Children having children due to a lack of proper education at home and in school IS a national health care and economic issue, and when the pregnant child of a public political figure who opposes sex education is put in front of the media by her mother and the RNC, who is to blame for covering the story?

It's a miracle she didn't contract an STD during that unprotected sex (and maybe she did, who knows).

I could not agree more. Thank you for saying it so well.

children don't have children because of lack of education...they have children because they are having sex. they can be very well educated on the subject and still get pregnant.

Ditto BR & Chewi. Although I do agree that in 'some' cases, no amount of education can compete with raging young hormones.

And that is another reason parents need to talk to their kids. Not just to educate them, but to really talk to them. Respect them and love them. Help guide them so that they want to make the "right" decisions, even when they don't really want to. Make them feel good about themselves. Make them feel responsible for their actions. Just talk to them and keep the lines of communication open.

but you can't go on the assumption that it's the parents' failure when a teen gets pregnant.

True but what does have to do with this young lady breaking up with her boyfriend now? This isn't THAT story and none of the reports I read even made a half-a$$ed effort to pretend it did. That was my point. Palin wanted to implement a sex-education program that in my opinion will not work and didn't work in her own family. That was a legitimate observation and since she was running for public office could and should be reported. This on the other hand.....

As far as the media leaving her alone and treating her as a private citizen, maybe giving interviews to Greta Van Susteren isn't such a good idea then.JMHO.

Because the candidate and the party had to explain away the pregnancy by assuring the voters that her daughter would marry the high school drop out, unemployed boyfriend whose mother was arrested for drug peddling.

It is hypocritical and I, never for one minute never believed Bristol intended to marry him, at least if I was her mother I would counsel against marrying him. It was all a farce for the press and the gullible public.

I remember having my heart broken at Miss Palin's age and it wasn't much fun, even without a newborn. I have no great love for her mother, and it's true she should probably avoid giving interviews to Greta Van Susteren, but I'm resistant, I guess, to having anything but sympathy for her. She's young and, even with a mother with a degree of power, it can't be easy to cope with an infant and a break up right now.

For anyone interested in Patrick Swayze, he refutes the National Enquirer front page and says he's started another course of chemo and is responding well.

I certianly don't get any merriment out of Bristol's personal life. My own then 17 yr old daughter was pregant when she graduated(wasn't showing yet) and is now married to the baby daddy and they have another baby together. They were not together when my first grandson was born even though some family members(his side) tried to force them together.
I think Bristol is probably a good mother and that is all I care about, the baby being nurtured.

the gossip is that Bristol dumped Levi, and he's the one broken hearted because she's trying to keep him from seeing the baby as much as he'd like to.

The engagement looked like a farce to me -- something to appease the voters to the right, but something that would only come to pass if she were in the oval office and the kids were forced to.

I've never thought having a baby was a good reason to get married to someone you didn't envision spending your life with. Marriage is not something to rush into or be pushed into.

And sorry, as a parent I do blame a parent *if* all they are teaching their child is abstenance. They've dropped the ball.

so if a teenager makes a choice and goes against their parents' teachings, it's the parents' fault?
