Bristol is brave

To the editor:

Bristol Palin is a brave young woman. It would be easy for her to stay home in Wasilla, go to school, quietly raise her son, and do what is necessary to work out a parental visit schedule with Levi Johnston. However, she chooses to put herself in the public eye and opens herself to criticism in order to be a living example to other teens.

Bristol’s proved today by her teen pregnancy advocacy role with the Candie’s Foundation that she is indeed the, “strong, independent and kind-hearted young woman” her mother describes. She is her mother’s daughter.

My family wishes Bristol and her family much success.
