As one who knows what it’s like to be 17 and pregnant, GOP daughter Bristol Palin is a big fan of 16 and Pregnant, the MTV docu-soap that follows expectant teen mothers as they live through the consequences of their premature pregnancies.
“I hope other young girls and even young guys should know that having a child is not glamorous at all,” the 19-year-old daughter of conservative politican Sarah Palin tells MTV.com.
Bristol says she appreciates that 16 & Pregnant doesn’t “glamorize” teen sex or early motherhood.
“They make it seem like there are no consequences to it. But there are tremendous consequences,” she added. “‘16 and Pregnant’ shows that.”
Bristol — who has a one-year-old son with her high school sweetheart Levi Johnston — recently starred in an anti-teen pregnancy campaign with The Candie’s Foundation.
