<p>Just saw on the news today that Bristol and Levi are getting back together and all I have to say is WOW!</p>
<p>While I want to be happy for them, part of me is sort of suspicious on Levi’s part on why he would want to come back to Bristol. I hope this isn’t a publicity stunt because Sarah Palin is so popular now. Maybe it’s just me but I’m not sure (if i were a girl), I would want to marry someone who once called my (or “our”) child “■■■■■■■■”.</p>
<p>What do you make of all of this?</p>
<p>I was also astonished!</p>
<p>Last I heard they weren’t even on speaking terms…</p>
<p>Guess this explains his unexpected public apology to Palin last week and his admission that he lied about some things regarding their family. I hope it is a long engagement.</p>
<p>They’ve been seeing each other for at least a month.</p>

<p>saw them on the today show, and watched his eyes…doesn’t look very sincere. hope for the best, but I don’t know…</p>
<p>Wow- They told US magazine before telling her parents. Not a good start.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you have this mixed up. </p>
<p>If you read the following article, you will notice this:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Levi did not refer to his own son as “■■■■■■■■.”</p>
<p>[Bristol</a> Palin, Levi Johnston reveal engagement - TODAY People - TODAYshow.com](<a href=“http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38239802/ns/today-today_people]Bristol”>http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38239802/ns/today-today_people)</p>
<p>ah gotcha, I misread the article</p>
<p>Seems like the typical drama of young love, but with the additional problems of being followed by the world’s media.</p>
<p>I wonder if Levi now will start doing “no sex before marriage” speaking engagements.</p>
<p>One oddity in the US Weekly article news release is that the couple says they haven’t told Bristol’s mom yet. Now, of course, it is out there in the news and so Sarah Palin knows now but it seems odd the couple was telling the magazine before Bristol’s parents. The Palin parents have now released a statement.</p>
<p>In a kinda sorta related news story, the teen clothing chain Forever 21 announced today that it is going to sell maternity clothes…they are rolling out their maternity line in the three states with the highest teen pregnancy rates.</p>
<p>oh my! sigh…</p>
<p>Yikes…I’m reading a book right now about a teen pregnancy pact between 4 high school girls - it already feels too close to comfort with 2 teenagers and 1 post-teenager around the house! Interesting about Forever 21 - that place is arranged so random anyway, I hope they can keep the maternity wear seperate somehow…</p>
<p><<teen clothing=“” chain=“” forever=“” 21=“” announced=“” today=“” that=“” it=“” is=“” going=“” to=“” sell=“” maternity=“” clothes=“”>></teen></p>
<p>WHAT THE ???</p>
<p>It depresses me beyond words that young women care so little about their futures that they are willing to bring children into the world before they are independent, self reliant adults. I’m not against single mother’s (I was one myself, aged 28), but the FANTASY of being pregnant must be SO alluring that they have NO IDEA what they are getting themselves into by getting pregnant so young.</p>
<p>missypie: Is that a joke?..(that last part I mean)…</p>
<p>Sadly, no.</p>

<p>I wonder if Bristol and Levi got paid by Us Weekly for the story/photo related to their engagement.</p>
<p>If Bristol was paid by Candies Foundation to be an abstinence spokesperson, how will that income stream be impacted if she is living with Levi during an “engagement”?</p>
<p>^^^Well, I think the “abstinence” cat is out of the bag…she has a baby and all.</p>
<p>On the Today Show, the lady from Us magazine said she could not comment on whether they were paid for the story, but did confirm that they were paid for the photo shoot.</p>
<p>They also said they would be going to marriage counseling…that’s a real vote of confidence (or realism) - knowing you’ll be going to marriage counseling when the engagement is announced!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, they’ve actually said that they believe in abstinence, so they will live apart during the engagement. How do their noses not grow?</p>
