A Message To Sarah Palin

Dear Sarah,

I think it was obvious, when you talked about special needs children, that this included your son. While I'm heartened by your understanding of the situation, and only a mother could have the kind of understanding you do of what a special needs child takes, I hope you'll be there for him just the same, should he develop other special needs - in particular if your child turns out to be gay and comes to you one day, and expresses the special need he has to marry the man of his dreams. Or if your child expresses the special need of wanting to join the peace corps and not the Marine corps. I hope you will have the internal fortitude to recognize that your child may need things you had not thought he would need, and give them to him anyway. Thanks for listening.

Teen pregnancy happens when there is a lack of communication between parent/child.
If the daughters aren't getting a certain need met where they go to a boy and have unprotected sex, this shows straight out that certain needs of the girl aren't being met. Even if its just a simple a need as taking your teen to the clinic to put her on birthcontrol pills, or taking her to the store to help her buy condoms. If that simple need wasn't met for the eldest daughter, then I doubt much communication happens in that family.

You are so on point and McCain and Palin just made Bristol the poster child for teen pregnancy in the U.S. A terrible example of what's wrong in society when adults...a presidential and vp candidate at that...make it okay for teens to have babies and drop out of school. I also agree with you that there must have been some lack of communication in the home. She comes from a two parent home of parents who are married. It's amazing though, how many in society assume that teen mothers come out of single parent homes, when in fact Bristol's situation is a prime example that it happens in two-parent home as well. Thing is, most of their parents are not running for the VP or Presidential position.

Had this been some other young girl from a single parent home, and she was brought before the same people who embraced Bristol having a baby and dropping out of school as a minor, they would have likened her as a lost cause and hopeless.

This is for you being against sex education and promoting abstinance and being all for "family values" for the rest of the world but not even being able to enforce it in your own home.

In the words of Ms. Donna Summer on her song "Bad Girls".....

Now you and me, we are both the same
But you call yourself by different names

My message to her is a question:

WHY DID YOU REVEAL YOUR DAUGHTER'S PREGNANCY AGAINST HER WISHES AND FOR REASONS THAT HAD TO DO SOLELY WITH YOU - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAD OTHER, BETTER WAYS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT LED YOU TO DIVULGE THIS PRIVATE INFORMATION?

I really want to know what kind of thinking a mother went through to get to that decision.

She may preach her so-called morals to the rest of the world but kids see how their parents really are when the rest of the world isn't looking and they follow their example. It's no wonder how the daughter got pregnant, I mean, just look at this trashy slutty example her mother is setting for her.....

Sorry, I don't buy that. You can have all the communication in the world flowing between a daughter and her parents, but normal human emotions and desires always take over. Always. Especially when it's happening to you at a point in your development where you're literally insisting on your independence and to make your own choices. Putting your child on birth control might help (IF she's responsible enough--or motivated enough--to stick to the regimine), but buying condoms for teenagers is a pretty laughable thing to rely on, imo. I know a shitloads of adults who will forego using condoms.

Now, teen pregnancy is a bit less likely to occur when there is healthy communication and healthy bonds between teenage girls and their parents/families...but a teen becoming pregnant should not automatically be equated with a lack of real parent/child communication being present.

And another thing let me make this clear....VERY clear.

Teens will do what you do, not what you tell them to do. If you are promiscuous, and/or are never home you provide opportunity and condone premarital sex in the eyes of your teen. Communication is more than verbal.

Oh and yes, lest we not forget the straight up lying ass parents that try to cover up their BS by saying "I talk to him/her all the time, but what can you do? They are just gonna do what they want." This is an excuse for their neglect. It BS plain and simple. A child will only do what they know they can get away with.
No thought of consequence leads to this behavior. If they fear the consequences they won't do it. Plain and simple.

This I absolutely know.

I have a 17yr.old virgin son... I communicate with him openly and honestly. Open discussions on sex answers questions and gives children confidence they otherwise wouldn't have since curiosity is a factor. I never bought my son condoms yet, but if he needs them, I told him that I would hook him up with a goodie pack of different brands for him to try. Taught him that masturbation is healthy, and to stay discreet. He hasn't fallen prey to peer pressure, and isn't in a rush to get pussy. So communication does work.

He comes home late... I ask "Did you use a condom?" He's like "Mom!"

but he knows, if he needed anything he can come to me. My nephew and nieces came to me for sex talk as well, they too have the same support from me. All are abstaining from sex. Communication works.
