The Palins

Bristol Palin you may or may not know who she is but if you don't know who she is you probably recognize her last name from somewhere?? Huh? What? Yes! Sarah Palin! Bristol Palin is obviously Sarah Palin's daughter. Bristol made headline news when she announced she was pregnant at age 17.  The media then questioned Sarah Palin's parenting skills calling her "a bad mom." They made it seem as if Bristol was the first and only pregnant teenager when the present generation has shows like "16 and Pregnant" and " Teen Mom" where girls who are younger than Bristol are also expecting.  Sarah Palin being in the position she was in which is Republican Vice President, was critiqued and teared down due to the pregnancy.




Bristol as seen above obviously did keep the baby and she also was in the campaign advocating abstinence as the answer.  Sarah Palin and her family supported Bristol throughout her pregnancy and through her tumultuous relationship, so I don't see where the "bad mom" side of her comes from. Mom's can not control what their daughters ultimate decide to do with their lives all they can do is support them and be there when no one else is.
