Putting aside my fact-ridden assumption that the whole interview was biased, I'd like to focus on Oprah's
Yes, a lot teens are having sex. Relatively speaking; abstinence is "unrealistic". But you must realize that there's still that portion of us who don't. You know, the ones who have stood up and (for one reason or another) pledged to save that experience for the one we will spend the rest of our lives with. To us, it doesn't matter that it's unrealistic. Are we insane? Perhaps. However, I can safely say that we who haven't engaged in intimate activity don't have STD's. We aren't pregnant. We haven't suffered the emotional consequences of giving our bodies and souls to another prematurely. On our wedding nights, we can look our husbands/wives in the eye without shame and regret.
Once a commitment is made, whether it is realistic or not goes out the door. And in a world that is constantly bombarding us, telling us that it's fine to enjoy yourself out of wedlock, stats are something we don't have time to worry about.
On a far to the side note, kudos to the rest of the Palin family. I bet all this media attention wears hard and thin on the nerves sometimes. Stay strong Mr. Palin, Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig, and Tripp. Mrs. Palin-- please DON'T GET TOO POLITICAL!
