Hayden Panettiere & Bristol Palin Talk SEX
And it’s a good thing too! Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol Palin got together for a great cause. To talk sex at the Candie’s Foundation town hall meeting on teenage pregnancy prevention for National Teen Pregnancy Awareness Day in New York City yesterday.
“It’s a topic that’s not talked about enough,” the Heroes star said. “This is just a human thing. It’s natural, it’s what everyone does, but most people don’t realize how serious things are until it directly impacts them and their lives or the lives of the people around them, and I think this is one of those things where as a young female you go, ‘Oh, it’ll never happen to me, oh, it happens to people, but it’ll never happen to me,’ and then it does happen.”
This powerful duo hadn’t met yet, but Hayden was very pleased the Bristol showed up…..
“It’s very nice that she’s come out to support this, and it’s nice to have her,” Panettiere said. “Teenagers get to look at her, and she can say, ‘This happened to me.’ This is all politics aside. She is just a girl out here saying, ‘Look, it happened to me — it can happen to you.’”
“There’s a lot of different viewpoints on sex, and I’m not someone who will ever boo-hoo anything or say, ‘This is not right,’ or, ‘This is wrong,’” she said. “You’re going to do what you’re going to do, but at the end of the day, it’s okay as long as you educate yourself, as long as you’re safe, as long as you’re smart.”
I couldn’t agree more. It doesn’t take much to be smart about sex. I wish more people out there would put forth a little effort to make a difference. Maybe then they wouldn’t hear so many, ‘I told you so’s’.
