I was listening to the radio on the way to take my kids to school when I busted out laughing. It seems Bristol Palin is giving speeches on abstinence and getting paid for it! Um, last time I checked wasn't she the poster child for teenage pregnancy? I mean what does she say, "Hello, my name is Bristol. My mother ran for Vice President and I was a teenage hoe bag!" Sorry, but not buying into it. That's like having Charlie Sheen be head of the D.A.R.E. program! People go for the entertainment, they don't go to listen a damn word she says. What's next? Is she going to start giving dance lessons?
And then she got me thinking. yes, I know what a horrible thing to do. Obviously teaching teenagers abstinence isn't working, perhaps they should finally buckle down and get with the times. Yes, I am one of "those" people who thinks the other way. Rather than cram the typical refrain from experimenting with sex speech down our youth's throats, I say "If they're going to do it, they might as well do it right!" Maybe if the same people that taught them to practice abstaining spent more time handing out condoms and birth control, instead of getting caught with their pants around their ankles themselves, things would be a little less hypocritical.
That's the other thing that bothers me. Why are people so afraid to tell their kids how to excel in that area? Their'd be a lot more happier people in this world, if they didn't have to fumble around in the dark not knowing what the hell they are doing. There's nothing wrong with giving them a little instruction. Oh, to be a sex ed teacher for a day. Now, that would be a job I could really sink my teeth into. Don't know about you, but I practice what I preach and I practice A LOT!!!!
