Don’t you dare call Bristol Palin a teenage mom high school dropout statistic!  The daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin graduated from high school on Thursday night.

The family spokesperson, Meghan Stapleton, said the 18-year old Palin

received her Wasilla High School diploma Thursday night at a ceremony with her fellow classmates at the Wasilla Sports Complex.

Bristol is the new Teen Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, which educates teenagers about the consequences of teenage pregnancy – something she knows a lot about.

Snarking aside, I’m actually really glad she finished high school.   Teens who get pregnant CAN, and should, finish school.  I am happy she’s setting a good example.
